You can find fan fiction of anything on the Internet. I’ve read fanfic about everything from The Sound of Music to Chef Boyardee, but somehow it never occurred to me to look for Anthony Bourdain’s name on a fan fiction site. I can’t believe I almost went my whole life without knowing that “No Reservations: Narnia” existed.

We have officially reached the last week of summer; back to school is just 10 days away for our family. While I’m looking forward to getting back to our school-year routine, these last few days of summer break are still going to be fun and tasty.

This week, I’m checking a few dinners off my summer bucket list (hello, tomato toast), but also trying some new-to-us recipes that I hope to repeat as school starts. Here are the five dinners I’m cooking for the last week of summer.

Today’s delicious recipe is offered up by the team at Pique Tea. I’ve become a big fan (and proud affiliate) of Pique Tea’s products because of their superior antioxidant value. Thanks to their team for an excellent recipe we’ll all be able to enjoy with guests and family. (And don’t miss the special deal they’re giving MDA readers….)

Summer wouldn’t be summer without popsicles! These popsicles will make the perfect treat for when you’re feeling hot and bothered, and are filled with nutrients to help you look and feel your best. (They are also a fab way to use up any overripe strawberries you might have!)

We’re fairly sure there’s nothing better than a pretty popsicle that’s yummy AND healthy, so we’ve paired Primal Kitchen®’s Collagen Peptides with Pique Tea’s Hibiscus Beauty Elixir for that extra kick. Hibiscus is a antioxidant powerhouse that’s not only delicious, but also boasts beautifying properties.

Strawberries offer antioxidant power in their own right, helping reduce inflammation and fight free radicals. The addition of Collagen Peptides “seals and heals” your gut lining, repairs damaged cell walls and offers essential with amino acids.

Each Pique Tea sachet contains up to 12x the antioxidants (third-party verified) than regular teas and is the first of its kind to be Triple Toxin Screened for pesticides, heavy metals, and toxic mold. Mark’s Daily Apple’s fans get a special deal: Get up to 2 FREE cartons here!

Strawberry Hibiscus Beauty Collagen Pops

Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes, plus a few hours to freeze popsicles

Servings: 6 popsicles, depending on size of popsicle mold

Ingredients

Instructions

First, start by boiling 2 cups of water, then remove from heat. Next, slowly sprinkle in coconut sugar (optional), Pique’s Hibiscus Beauty Elixir and Primal Kitchen’s Unflavored Collagen Peptides until completely smooth.

Add the chopped strawberries into the mold, fill the mold with the liquid mixture, and place popsicles in freezer for 6 hours to overnight, and you’re done!

Please note that sweetening up the popsicles with coconut sugar is optional. So is adding Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides, but the collagen doesn’t affect the flavor of the popsicles, so why not add it in? Collagen turns these popsicles into a nourishing and wholesome summer treat.

It’s interesting to me how financial experts, mothers-in-law, and total strangers on a Facebook page all have distinct opinions on how much you should spend on groceries. The thing is, while food costs certainly shouldn’t be complex, they can vary from person to person and household to household — even region to region.

Cannabis-based medicine appears to be taking healthcare to a higher level. In recent years, an emerging body of evidence has discovered that the plant-based remedy can help alleviate epileptic seizures, the acute anxiety associated with PTSD and the abdominal pain and bloating linked to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). New evidence that compounds in cannabis help […]

If you like wine and/or Aldi, you may remember last year, when we reported on Aldi’s wine-filled advent calendar for the holiday season. It was announced last September and our readers were so excited! There was just one problem: It was only available in the U.K. — and most (but not all!) of our readers are in the United States.

This year (this year!), things will be different. Not only will the wine advent calendar be available in the United States stores — where the law allows alcohol to be sold in supermarkets — there will also be a cheese advent calendar!

We got a sneak peek of both. And that means you get a sneak peek, too!

I don’t know how fall manages to sneak up on me every single year, but it’s done it again. I’m still trying to figure out swimming lessons and what’s the best kind of sunscreen to buy, and the shops are already full of Halloween decorations and now Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice products will be in grocery stores next week (!!!).

This year the coffee chain is introducing Pumpkin Spice Cookie Straws. You guys, cookie straws!

Sur La Table is currently offering 20% off almost everything on their site with the code “PEACH18.” This end-of-summer sale also gets you free shipping on orders over $59. That’s a lot of stuff to sift through – before you get too excited, however, not every big-name brand is choosing to participate. (Sorry, no Instant Pots or Le Creuset.)

But several of our favorite brands are participating, like OXO and All-Clad. Even better, some of their best-sellers are currently cheaper than on Amazon. Here are our top picks from the sale.
