Gorgeous latte art isn’t anything new, but it wasn’t until the rise of Instagram that things became serious. These days coffee shops and baristas can make their entire careers off of exploiting our love of Instagram, and we relish in this fact. There are baristas who can make a few classic shapes like flowers or hearts that you might have seen at your local coffee shop, and then there are baristas who can draw people into foam or use food coloring to create “unicorn” lattes.
But while a latte with your face on it is certainly nice, there’s one creation that is better than the rest; one latte that rules over all the other lattes. That latte is the pizza latte.
Now, compared to other images of latte art, this pizza latte from @baristart isn’t as complicated. The lines are a bit sloppy, and there are only two colors involved to get that signature pizza look. The creativity of this latte, however, makes it the most important latte on the planet. The pizza looks like it’s about to slide off the lip of the cup and straight into our hearts.
Leaner than and often the same price (and sometimes even less expensive) as ground beef, ground turkey is the versatile staple that makes getting a filling dinner on the table easier. We love to keep it stashed in the freezer to give dinner a quick and easy protein-packed boost. From slow-cooked sloppy joes and hearty bolognese, to juicy burgers and a protein-packed taco salad, we’re sharing 10 ways ground turkey can help you answer the question of what’s for dinner.
As an Irish girl, it pains me to say this, but St. Patrick’s Day decorations can get cheesy pretty fast. I guess it has something to do with leprechauns and people’s penchant for dying things green that shouldn’t be.
Still, there are some creative folks out there doing St. Patrick’s Day parties right. And the best example just might be this chic dinner party thrown by our friend Natasha Lawler. Her annual party is so legendary, many of her guests fly to Virginia from all over the country just to attend.
Here are three lessons to take away from last year’s party. And yes, I’m kicking myself for not finagling an invitation!
The most coveted non-essential kitchen item is undoubtedly the slow cooker. We’ve talked about this kitchen appliance countless times here on Kitchn because we know our readers love it. Simply put, the slow cooker just makes cooking easier. When you’re in a rush, or stressed, or busy, you know you can rely on dumping some ingredients in the slow cooker, walking away, and coming back to a delicious meal.
If you’ve been on the fence about buying this trendy kitchen tool — or maybe it’s just time to say goodbye to the one you have now — there’s a pretty sweet sale happening on Amazon for the Crock-Pot. Today this six-quart slow cooker is on sale for $39, and it normally costs $60. That’s 35 percent off.

MOST of my life I was fairly fit, few ups and downs, but overall I was pretty fit. Then somehow it started to change….nothing crazy at first but a few pounds here and there. But hey we all age and you can always find someone more out of shape than you to compare to. At one physical a doc said I was obese, what the hell, no way, not me, not even close…..obese is the people on my 600lb life, I laughed it off…..fast forward a few years and still adding pounds on. Still very active, snowboarding, mountain bikes. Didn’t really notice.
Well, one night after a few beers, I was getting in the shower and looked at my naked body…..for once I saw what I REALLY looked like. I stared long and hard, almost crying. I got mad/sad/disgusted. This was the moment I started to wake up.
Nothing happened right away, but I now knew honestly that I was fat and out of shape. No more sugar coating it, or fuzzy bunny slippers “hey its ok.” I was STILL not making a change, but the seed was planted and growing that I was going to need to change. What was going to be the breaking point? When would I say enough is enough?
Health issuses with me and my wife were growing. Wife was having severe migrains all the time. My knees and back were always in pain, due to years of extreme sports and activities.
February 2, 2016 was it…….while working nights I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, and he had on Mark Sisson……holy s@#$% Batman, the light bulb went off….like fireworks in my brain. This was the spark that was going to light the fire in my soul!
When he compared a bowl of pasta to a bowl of Skittles…..it was like magic….omg, what had I been doing to my body?
That morning I called the wife and was all excited, telling her I was going paleo…. She did not share my excitement…maybe because it was 6a.m….. I was hyped and she was just waking up.
Where the lines of fate crossed was she had just had a blood test done, looking for allergies and signs that would point her to possible causes of her severe migraines. Well, a few days later her results came back, and they aligned with a paleo approach as well.
BOOM…..paleo family here we go…..head first!
My life is very different than the average person…I work in the Arctic Circle oil field. I fly up to the middle of nowhere for 3 weeks at a time. I work 12-15 hours a day for 21 days straight. All our food is provided for us. So the only choices I have are what is put out in front of me. Since I could not know everything in each dish, I just stayed on the paleo basics. It was not easy in the beginning, choosing paleo foods was easy, but I have a sweet tooth and to walk past the dessert bar day in and day out was a challenge. Some days I won, some days it won.
I dove deep into reading, listening, soaking up as much knowledge as one could absorb on this lifestyle change. I want to know not just the rules, but why, how. First month was rough in swimming through it all. Energy levels up and down….endless hunger..
As the months rolled on, the weight melted away. I was seeing results pretty quick. Few pounds here and there. Energy levels started to max out. Sleep was great. I started to dabble in working out. My wife and I signed up for a spartan race, then the day after that was complete we signed up for an ultra half marathon mountain run….. Omg, who the hell have we become….lol. We were now running and training for fun.
My wife’s migraines had all but gone away. My pains were less and less. We were becoming the people we were meant to be.
Fast foward to today. I am now sitting here writing my 1 year story. I have lost 70 + pounds. I train jiujitsu 3-4 time a week while I am home. I still don’t do crazy workouts…. I personally don’t feel it’s needed. I plan on doing more running events once the snow melts. I am paleo/Primal for life. I believe in this lifestyle 100%….
If you’ve never cooked spareribs before, tackling this meaty slab can feel totally intimidating. But I assure you that you can do it and it’s far easier than it seems. From buying pork spareribs to cooking them at home, here’s what you need to know to get tender, succulent ribs every time. (Spoiler alert: There’s no grill necessary!)
People love Starbucks. People love taking pictures of cute food and drink items. People love things that are limited-edition. Throw all that together and you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a big success on your hands. When, however, Starbucks introduced its cheery red and white seasonal snowflake cups 20 years ago, it couldn’t possibly have imagined how people would clamor and squeal every year for the first sighting of those holiday-season cups.
Now that spring is here, maybe it’s time to think pink (or, at least, pastel).
In the world of condiments, most of them know exactly who or what they are. Ketchup is the popular kid who’s friends with the theater folks and the lacrosse players. Mustard (stone-ground, yellow, Dijon — all varieties!) is the wacky-but-smart kid who is good at everything he does. Sriracha is the trendsetter who decides what’s cool and how long it will stay cool.
Then there’s A1. Oh, A1. What superlative would A1 win in its senior yearbook? Probably not Most Likely to Succeed, sadly.
It’s easy to look through Pinterest and label yourself as uninspired, not crafty, or a total failure (no, just me?). Let’s take gorgeous dining table settings as an example. How many times have you seen some crafty, chic thing that some blogger created for their Thanksgiving table? How many times have you seen a beautiful place setting that you know must have cost your entire paycheck and then some?
Well, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t need to be like that. Ina Garten — our patron saint of all things entertaining and food — has given us her approval for simple, casual dining settings. If I can do this, you can do this.
For now classes are 6pm and 640pm at 2840 Wildwood st in the Boise Cloggers studio.

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
- Jami L.
