I use a food scale every single day when I’m home. Every single day. In fact, it’s usually one of the first things I use in my kitchen each morning, when I measure out my coffee beans for my Chemex. Sure, I could probably at this point estimate what 34 grams of coffee looks like, but I’d rather not take the risk of a less-than-perfect brew.

If you’re in the market for a new scale — whether it’s for baking, coffee, or everyday cooking — there’s a great deal happening on Amazon right now. You can currently get an OXO food scale for $38, whereas it normally costs $50. That means it’s 25 percent off right now.

I am someone who firmly believes in dessert — a meal doesn’t feel like a meal without even just a bite of something sweet in my opinion. Yet, I am also someone who firmly believes that dessert doesn’t need to be complicated. Give me a square of good dark chocolate instead of an impressive slice of cake and I am equally satisfied. These five desserts are just that — they’re super simple, plus they are a hit with almost everyone at the end of almost any meal.

Giving my mom a cookbook for Mother’s Day, Christmas, and her birthday always seemed logical to me. She loves to cook and bake, and for someone who claims to never want or need anything, cute cookbooks used to sound like a no-brainer to me — until I realized that they all ended up in the same cabinet, mostly untouched, keeping each other company.

Why? Because nothing could trump her Fannie Farmer. Full of loose pages, tiny typeface, and a near-disintegrating spine, this cookbook is her one and only.

Jim had inched his way up the side of the mountain, pitch after pitch, belay after belay. He and two friends, all seasoned climbers, stopped for lunch on one of the death-drop sheets of rock perpendicular to the earth. Strung up at a dizzying height, safely hooked in, his friends unpacked their whey powders, their protein bars, and their gels, and dug in.

Jim, however, pulled out the slab of hanger steak he’d cooked the night before, waving it in the air, taunting his buddies. (They cursed him angrily.)

It’s an idyllic vignette, the man on the mountain, tearing into a steak. It’s primal and Paleo and very of the moment. And at a time when the protein powder and supplement industry is such a major force, with more than $7 billion in sales in 2014 and projected to reach $9 billion by 2020 — not to mention beef consumption on the rise in America for the first time in a decade — it’s a picture that asks a question: Does protein deserve its nutritional pedestal?

Deciding whether or not you’re going to go to a wedding is never the hard part. This is your former coworker’s sister’s best friend we’re talking about. You wouldn’t miss it for the world! You even know what you’re going to wear! The hard part? Figuring out which box to check for your seated dinner. Do you want the chicken, fish, steak, or the vegetarian option?

How are you supposed to know what you’ll want to eat on a Saturday in September? You’re not even sure what you want for dinner tonight!

As someone who used to work at a wedding magazine and someone who has attended a few dozen weddings (in just the last couple of years), I have formed my very own strong opinion: The vegetarian option is always the best.
