Is there a childhood dinner more beloved than a sloppy Joe? Rich hamburger meat simmered in a tangy, sweet sauce with tender onions and peppers, served on a lightly toasted bun — it always got rave reviews around our family table growing up. Now, my own kids love them too.

There are lots of ways to make sloppy Joes. You can take the shortcut route and buy store-bought seasoning or sauce, or you can throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker. But there’s another method — our quickest and easiest yet — that lets you use ingredients already in your pantry to make sloppy Joes anytime the craving strikes. Here’s how.

I hear people say all the time they don’t work out because they can’t make it to the gym or they don’t have the right equipment. Or (the big one)…they don’t have time. As someone who’s always on-the-go, I know I have to make my workouts fit my lifestyle. For me, that means having options I can do anywhere with minimal equipment and a short time investment.

This “Road Warrior” workout is exactly that. If you have a resistance band (you can pick a set at Amazon for under $20 easily) and a floor, you’re set. It’s the ultimate do anywhere, no excuses routine. Check it out.

Resistance Band Pull-Apart Warm-Up (Front and Back)

Do 10 pulls behind the head.

Do 10 in front.

Side Delt Raises

Stepping on the middle of the resistance band with one foot, pull the handles up at your sides. Do 10 raises.

Front Delt Raises

Keeping your foot on the band, this time pull the handles up in front of your body. Do 10 raises.

Air Squats

Step your feet shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back straight, squat as you bring your hands to the front each time. Do 25 squats.

Pushups

Drop and do 25 pushups.

Repeat the set four times.

Now you’re done. How’s that for simple?

Watch below for the full workout put together. 

Let me know your thoughts on the video. Are you looking for more quick and easy workouts? Are you digging the video content? What are you doing for simple routines these days. Thanks for stopping by, everybody.

Gluten-free eating may be a big food trend, but it’s also a necessity for kids and grown-ups with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Fortunately, because it’s a trend, there are lots of good snack options out there that are lunch-box compatible.

I reached out to Kristen Smith, RDN, LD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and Alyssa Ardolino, RD, nutrition communications coordinator at the International Food Information Council, to get some guidelines about how to pick the best gluten-free snacks to pack in a lunch box. Keep reading for those tips — and some snack recommendations based on their guidance. (Note: Neither expert was able to endorse specific brands or products, so these are nominations from Kitchn.)

I love going to high-end cooking stores like Sur la Table and Williams Sonoma. Wandering those aisles, thinking about the kind of cook I could be if I just had the right equipment, is enchanting. And sometimes I actually do need to buy something. My only problem there is that, while they carry the best of the best, the prices tend to match. But recently I’ve been taking a new approach in order to save money on those high-end cookware and appliance brands that I’d normally buy at Sur la Table or Williams Sonoma.

August might seem a bit late to jump on one of the biggest summer beverage trends of the year, but Trader Joe’s thinks rosé cider has staying power. The grocery giant just released their own brand of rosé cider, even though fall is just on the horizon and Starbucks has already started shipping its Pumpkin Spice Lattes to stores.

Until this week, I’m not sure that I’d ever eaten a KIND bar outside of an airplane, trying to unwrap one while being smashed by my own tray table thanks to a stranger’s fully reclined seat. They’re always available at airport gift shops and, when my snack options are either a KIND bar or, like, a $34 bag of beef jerky, those nuts and seeds will always win. (Yes, I do pack my own snacks, and yes, I usually eat them about 30 seconds after I’ve passed through the security checkpoint. BEING SCANNED IS STRESSFUL, GUYS.)

“Welcome to Krispy Kreme,” he said, his voice rumbling out of the drive-thru speaker. “How many dozen would you like today?”

The truth is, I wanted, like, a dozen dozen, but I’d decided not to chip away at my life expectancy this morning. OK, that’s a lie: I’m willing to sacrifice at least a few hours in my mid-to-late 80s so I can try Krispy Kreme’s new limited-edition Reese’s Outrageous donut.

Kitchn’s Delicious Links column highlights recipes we’re excited about from the bloggers we love. Follow along every weekday as we post our favorites.

Although we’ve been experiencing an oppressive heatwave for over a month straight, for some strange reason I’m craving pasta. Admittedly, that craving does not go as far as a heaping bowl of fettuccine Alfredo; instead, I’m thinking that this bright, lemony, veggie-loaded summer pasta from Ania, the blogger behind Lazy Cat Kitchen, is just the ticket.

We’re still totally crushing on the Liberty for Anthropologie collaboration (between Liberty of London and Anthropologie, in case that wasn’t clear) that came out around this time last year. And now there’s SUNO for Anthropologie, which launches today on Anthro’s website.

If you’re unfamiliar, Suno was a beloved fashion label, launched in 2008. The bold designs were made from vintage African textiles collected by the founder, Max Osterweis, while visiting his mother in Kenya. The label sadly closed in 2016, but now it’s back — with Anthropologie — featuring more than 40 styles and 20 prints for the kitchen, dining room table, bedroom, and more.

Whether or not you were a Suno fan before, we’re guessing you’ll be one now. Take a look at some of the items that caught our eye. Prices range from $10 (for a nut bowl) to $3,898 (for a sofa).
