OK, let’s be honest: we’ve all probably stepped out of an Uber, fumbled with our front-door locks and belatedly realized that we shouldn’t have had that last glass of wine. The next morning usually arrives with a headache, a dry mouth and a solemn promise that you’re one-and-done at the next after-work happy hour.

If I could ask the Pioneer Woman one question, I would probably ask her where she got her hand-painted orange KitchenAid. And if I got a second question, I would definitely ask her about sliders. Sliders just seem like they’d be her thing.

Ree Drummond’s whole oeuvre is cowboys and classic Americana, so a very good burger has to be in her wheelhouse, and sliders are just regular burgers, but tinier and more adorable. Ree likes things that are cute almost as much as she likes puns, so it’s not surprising that she has several different slider recipes in her collection. What is surprising, however, is that her secret slider ingredient is heavy whipping cream.

In all of literature there are few food moments as iconic, or as horrifyingly embarrassing, as when 8-year-old Ramona Quimby cracks a hard-boiled egg on top of her head in the middle of lunch, only to discover her mother sent her with a raw egg by mistake. Ramona is left crushed, humiliated, and with a whole raw egg in her hair during the middle of school. Generations of children have been a little suspicious of hard-boiled eggs ever since.

What do you do when you get food you don’t like? Do you take a taste and decide to leave it on your plate? Do you force yourself to eat it just to be polite and not wasteful? Insulting the food or throwing a tantrum might seem like the worst possible responses to an unappetizing dish, but it turns out there is something worse you could do. This week a 12-year-old Canadian boy made the news because he actually called 911 twice to report his parents for making a salad he did not like.

It’s happened to everyone: You see what seems like a good price on grapes and eagerly add the bag to your cart. Then, when you get to the register, you learn with dismay that your fruity purchase came out to … $12. Say what?

Because grapes are priced per pound, their total cost can often take unknowing consumers by surprise. Here’s the lowdown on when to buy grapes, what to pay, and how to pick the best ones.

The first thing you need to know about Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield, Ohio, is that it’s not a grocery store. I mean, technically I guess it is, and sure, you could get your TP and toothpaste there while you’re shopping in the Cincinnati suburb. But it’s a field trip starring fake giraffes and elephants, safari park monorail cars, and animatronics like a Cereal Band made up of General Mills cereal mascots — not to mention foodstuffs ranging from the obscure to the ridiculous.

Unless I have four hours to explore I don’t even want to go in. This place is … over the top. And I mean that in the best possible way.

This morning I shared how I’ve changed my approach to stress over the last couple of decades. For me, this meant first addressing the toll of my training. It’s how the Primal Blueprint, in fact, was born. In today’s feature and in this video (with my long-time friend and co-author, Brad Kearns), I talked about how adaptogenic herbs made a difference for my recovery. I formulated my own supplement to literally help myself first. Fellow athlete friends wanted to try it, and that’s how Primal Calm (now called Adaptogenic Calm) came into being. The fact is, like everything I’ve chosen to sell, my interest in the product sprung from my own story.

I’ve always been a student of performance—in my athletic days and now. Whether it’s nutritional intake, training strategies, or supplement choices, this is where science comes to life for me. Over the years, I made this interest work for my fitness performance and now for my optimal health. It’s not about “hacking” the body’s functioning but understanding it from the ground floor up. This knowledge helps me live and age through life on my own terms, which is exactly the way I like it.

Every bit of research, every connection, every choice has done its part to fill in the picture for me—the daily practices and overall philosophy behind the Primal Blueprint.

In the last few years, collagen has been one of the tools that has made the biggest difference in my life. It was instrumental to recovering from an injury that (I was told) would put me on the sidelines indefinitely, and now it supports continuing joint health and mobility as I push myself physically long after many people give up on their bodies period.

A few months ago Brad Kearns and I recorded a conversation about my interest in collagen—how I started applying it to my health, what it offers for fitness performance, and how anyone—athlete or not—can benefit. Take a look.

Now For the Contest…

Ask me a question about my health routines. What would you like to know? What I eat (or don’t eat)? What I do for exercise? My favorite way to relax? What I’m working on now? What my favorite meal is? If it encompasses some aspect of healthy living, it’s fair game. I’ll pick a few to cover in future posts or social media projects—and choose one random winner from all relevant responses.

The Prize: A year’s supply (12 packages each) of two of my favorite training related supplements: Adaptogenic Calm and Collagen Peptides.

Made from all-natural ingredients, Adaptogenic Calm can be used safely by anyone who feels that stress is interfering with his or her productiveness, effectiveness and enjoyment of life. Adaptogenic Calm can produce a noticeable effect in as little as 30 minutes to 2 hours upon ingestion, and this state of calm can last throughout the day.*

Unflavored and easily dissolved in hot or cold liquids, Primal Kitchen® Collagen Peptides support connective tissue and hair, skin and nails. Unflavored to add to morning coffee, meal shakes/smoothies, soups, and baked goods.

The Deadline: June 22, 2018, midnight PDT

Thanks for stopping by today, everyone. It’s almost Friday!

We’re declaring this the Summer of Nice Creams, and you’re all invited to join in on the fun! Nice creams aren’t anything new — we wrote about the most famous one of them all, one-ingredient banana ice cream, years ago — but they’re finally coming into their own as a category of dessert.

Nice creams are cool and creamy treats made from frozen fruit (and sometimes a little almond or cashew milk). Their resulting texture means you can pretty much enjoy them just like ice cream. The “nice” in nice cream comes from the fact that they are vegan and free from artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and added sugar.

So what is there left to say?

Well, before you kickstart your summer of nice creams we wanted to talk about some of the things that go unsaid about these dreamy vegan desserts — because, for how delicious they are, they’re still pretty much the cauliflower pizza crust of dessert, which means you’ve got to reset your expectations. But don’t worry! Only good things are to come when you do.

One time, in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a cross-country road trip, my sister and I cracked open a can of olives. We’d actually been traveling for three days and had gone through as many cans, if not more.
