I’ve eaten lunch at my desk for as long as I can remember. It’s not that I’m too busy to step away; I’ve simply fallen deep into the habit of eating as I work or scroll through the news online.

I know it’s not the best way to eat — I’m not getting much work done, nor am I enjoying my food as much as I could — but I’ve never been able to break the cycle. Until now. Maybe.

Beyond the numbers and percentages in training, how is your brain adopting and improving your skills?

If you train for any length of time, chances are high that at some point, you will find yourself stuck. You might try increasing weight, increasing reps, working harder, and resting more. As you try various things and the inevitable frustration sets in, you find yourself wondering if there are any mental tricks to help you break through your plateau.

How spicy do you like your spicy? Do you collect hot sauce like other people collect Mason jars? Do you live to feel the burn? Well, I have a new challenge for you: Paqui chips have created the world’s deadliest tortilla chip. The chip gets its heat from the Carolina Reaper pepper, which is often thought of as the hottest pepper in the world.

success_story_contest

Calling all readers! Do you have a Primal Blueprint Success Story you’d like to share? Then I want to hear from you (and so do the rest of us)! I’ll even give you the shot at winning an awesome prize package.

Write it your story and include a photo. Including both pre-Primal and post-Primal pics is best, but not required. Don’t worry if you’re not sporting a six-pack. This isn’t a “who’s the most ripped” contest. Whether you’ve lost 100 pounds over two years of Primal living or you’ve simply managed to kick that Diet Coke habit, just tell me what going Primal has done for you. I’m looking for interesting and personal stories of all varieties.

You can include details about your health history, how you found MDA and The Primal Blueprint, what has worked and what hasn’t, what differences you’ve seen in how you look and feel, and anything else you think readers might be able to learn from (that you’re open to sharing) are welcome. It doesn’t have to be a thousand word diatribe, but more than a couple paragraphs is best. Feel free to be creative with your story format, too. Remember, good stories usually have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And of course, honesty is king.

If you’ve ever thought about sending in your story but haven’t gotten around to it, then there is no better time than now!

The entire PRIMAL KITCHEN™ product line! You’ll get to much on and cook with every product currently available from PRIMAL KITCHEN™.

I have been using the same single cutting board for several years. It is bamboo, maybe? I think it is bamboo. I am happy with it, but are my knives happy with it? Is it the best kind of cutting board? Am I secretly doing something that is ruining them in some way I do not yet know of but will live to regret?

If you have these questions, too, read on to find out what your knives want you to know about cutting boards.

20 Cooks, 20 Knives: This month, we’re taking a close look at a chef’s most important tool: her knife. We asked 20 cooks, amateurs and professionals, to share their favorite knives and the stories behind them.

You know the old saying: the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Especially not if you name your kid after an apple. With over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States annually and 7,000 worldwide, we’ll be darned if there aren’t some choice baby names among them. Aside from conjuring happy memories of orchard hopping, an apple-inspired baby name is sure to be a hit with teachers and pediatricians alike. What’s not to love?

Here are 15 baby names inspired by your favorite fall fruit.
