Lately, I can’t stop testing vintage recipes. Something feels deeply satisfying about revisiting cooking and baking methods from decades past. Recently, my editor pointed me toward a Reddit post about a Betty Crocker cookie recipe from 1963. I didn’t hesitate to give it a try. Betty Crocker’s Peanut Butter Quickies quickly became a new obsession. The recipe calls for just four ingredients and highlights one of my all-time favorite cookie staples: peanut butter. Still, a few concerns lingered. While some vintage recipes deliver big on flavor, others miss the mark. With so few ingredients, questions popped up about texture and…

People are living longer than ever, but not always better. There’s a 13-year gap between lifespan and “healthspan,” the years we spend in good health. Closing that gap is one of the biggest opportunities of our time.

Each one matters. And interestingly, joining a gym can support all five. Recharge your mind: Structured workouts create natural moments for reflection, calm, and stress relief. Move your body: Regular workouts make daily movement easier,…

Even in my own home, with my four kids, veggies have often been the trickiest food group to navigate. There are plenty of reasons for this. The texture can be challenging for kids, and the slightly bitter flavor makes other foods much more appealing. That’s why I…

After leafy greens and the allium family (onions, garlics, and leeks), the most powerful group of vegetables is probably cruciferous vegetables. Think broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, green and red cabbage, and others. The crucifers pack a lot of nutrition into a very humble-looking vegetable. These vegetables from the brassica family are loaded with vitamins, important minerals, and unique compounds like glucosinolates—which break down into cancer-fighting sulforaphane and other similar compounds. When you eat them at least a few times a week you are providing yourself with a natural smorgasbord of beneficial compounds. Here are 7 research-backed reasons to make…
