We’ve all been there: You pack up some snacks for your beach day or that mid-afternoon movie theater trip, and you end up leaving them behind in the car. There they sit for a few hours until you return, but they actually end up tasting even better. Peanut butter cups, we’re looking at you.

Ah, summer — that blissful season when life is cool and carefree. (Just kidding — you’re trapped in an office while it’s gorgeous out, your hair can’t handle the humidity, and your vacation days are dwindling.) But!

We’ve rounded up a selection of reading material by turns easy, breezy, and above all, brilliant — plus its perfect cocktail complement. Enjoy.

Roasted sweet corn is pretty hard to beat during the summer months. It usually requires little more than a pat of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, but don’t let the season pass without making elote, that beautiful mess of crema, mayonnaise, and cotija cheese that only makes roasted summer corn more magical. With just a few simple techniques, this popular Mexican street snack can become your ultimate grilled corn upgrade.

When you go on vacation, what are the tools and other kitchen essentials that come with you, and what gets left behind? This is the question we posed to our readers earlier this week and I have to confess I was surprised — and thrilled! — to discover our readers are just as guilty of packing everything but the kitchen sink as I am.
Kevin from Milwaukee keeps a set of back-up pots and pans, plus “knives, spatulas, bowls, tongs, and lighters” at the ready! Others were slightly more discerning, but as a rule, our readers like to make sure their vacation rental kitchen is well-stocked with their stuff.
Here’s what our readers pack so they can get into their cooking groove wherever they are.

One of the most striking sights on the dinner table is a piece of chicken or a slab of zucchini with a black crust striped down the side. This blackened area on a well-cooked piece of fish, meat, or vegetable — hot from the grill or the stove — promises a crisp crust and smoky flavor.
But is this food blackened or charred? Is there a technical difference between these two terms for the cooking style that leaves the most evidence of its primal contact with fire?

When you’re burning the midnight oil and your stomach starts to grumble, what should you reach for to fuel you through the night? We decided to go directly to the source. We mean writers, of course. After all, who knows better the pain and pleasure of the midnight munchies than the literary set?
This month, we asked 20 authors, past and present, to share what they snack on in the wee hours.
Leila Meacham’s epic novel Roses has been compared to Gone With the Wind and Thornbirds — in other words, it’s a romance for the ages and it immediately catapulted the New York Times Best Sellers List.
Her latest work will also pull at your heartstrings. Set in Western Texas, Ryan’s Hand is the story of familial love and first love. And just as the characters in Meacham’s novel struggle with their forbidden desires, so does the author — with her forbidden foods. Here’s the snack she succumbs to in the twilight hours.

You’re probably most familiar with hot pepper jelly as that sweet and spicy flavor booster that’s so often paired with cream cheese and crackers, but it does some of its best work when spread over a hot ear of corn on the cob. Leave the butter in the fridge — all you need is a little hot pepper jelly.

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
As the old quote goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
I knew I would be embarking on great changes in my life when I decided to document my photos of how I looked before Paleo. I was not shamed by my body nor embarrassed, however, I wanted to remember how I felt. My body felt expanded. I felt heavy and had pains and aches. I am still a work in progress but I am happy to show you the difference through pictures that my body has gone through due to changing to a Paleo lifestyle.
I started my Paleo transition in March of 2014 after reading Terry Wahls’ The Wahls Protocol and following Mark’s Daily Apple. I knew that it was time to make a change. You see, back in December of 2006, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and at the time had lost complete feeling in my legs, was unable to walk without some sort of assistance, and I was unable to drive. At the time, I was at the young age of 26 being diagnosed with a disease with no cure. I had just graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Business Management and felt I had so much ahead of me. Then in one moment, I felt as if my life and soul was taken from me. I was very thankful that at the time I lived with great friends that were like family and helped care for me during a very difficult time. Happily, I was able to eventually feel my legs again and drive! I found a job that I loved and continued to move forward with my life, however, there would be moments that my disease would flare up and knock me down.
The most popular form of treatment is steroids for flares and various drugs to keep the disease from progressing. I would have to say I nearly took every drug on the market for the disease, and each one made me sick, or would have such bad effects on my quality of life that it became overwhelmingly depressing. However, I would continue to push forward and even met a wonderful man, who is now my husband, and we had a son in 2011. Again I faced some ups and downs with my disease, but I continued to be proactive, ultimately deciding to go off medication and try stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy was one of the best things ever to calm my disease and allow me to feel “normal.” Sadly, after putting my family in major debt, I ended up having a flare about six months after. It was not long-lasting, but the flare was bad enough have reality hit home that I needed to do something more.
Enter the world of Paleo—I finally understood the power of food and what it could do to help our bodies and minimize inflammation. I was lucky to be part of a study that allowed me the opportunity to try stem cell therapy once more, in conjunction with being Paleo, and it has been over two years since my last flare!!!!
Of course I feel Paleo is not a one size fits all style of life, hence my blog, The Paleo Mix. It is important that you know that I am a mixer of sorts. I take pieces of Paleo from several sources along with dabs of other ideas. I am a mix of Paleo, AIP Paleo, and other protocols.
I also have chosen to not use any medications for my disease. Instead I use supplements and my doTERRA oils. Now I am by no means against medication, and if needed, I will look at the options of its benefits and whether a particular medication is worth using for me and my family. That being said, and long story short, I take care of my health and well-being by eating and living a Paleo Mix life, along with supplements and my doTERRA essential oils and, of course, making sure to live life and laugh!
