Frittatas are in heavy rotation in my household. They are a breakfast-for-dinner staple easy to enough to pull off when I don’t want to cook, and a weekend morning go-to. What I love most about frittatas is that I never follow a recipe when I make them — and you don’t need to either. Instead, all you really need is a template and some inspiration. Once you have the essential technique down, the possibilities are endless.

It seems like everyone is making meal kits these days. Blue Apron and Hello Fresh are a couple of the most famous, and Martha Stewart also has a meal kit. Amazon is starting meal kits too, and plans to sell them at its robot-monitored cashierless Amazon Go grocery stores. Wolfgang Puck created meals for Chef’d. Heck, even one of my college friends started a slow cooker meal kit service last year.
Now Weight Watchers is jumping on the bandwagon with their own healthy meal kit service, but theirs is breaking away from the Blue Apron/Hello Fresh subscription box model. Instead, the Weight Watchers meal kits will be sold in grocery stores.

There are many different “shapes” in gymnastics like “pike,” “straddle,” and “tuck.” But before achieving these body positions there are some important foundational shapes that take precedent in training and are utilized often in fitness and sports outside of gymnastics. Two of these essential foundational shapes are the hollow and arch positions.

I never really mastered the “mom bag.” I carry a big shoulder bag instead of a proper diaper bag, and I might not always have enough antibacterial wipes (or even regular baby wipes). Heck, on one regrettable occasion I even got cocky and left the house without spare diapers. (Never again.) But I always have snacks, because I have a toddler. With toddlers, there is a fine line between sweetness and chaos, and staying on the right side of that line often comes down to snacks.
Carrying snacks is important, because small children eat a lot to keep up with the speed at which their little bodies are growing, but they won’t necessarily tell you in advance when they’re getting hungry. Trust me — you do not want to face a hangry toddler.
But finding food that is both healthful and convenient can be tricky — especially when some foods marketed as being good for toddlers are actually full of sodium and sugar. So we checked in with five pediatricians to get their pointers when it comes to shopping for and planning snacks for toddlers.

Winter is almost over. Are you ready for spring? Let Giada De Laurentiis be your end-of-winter culinary sherpa. In episode eight, season 10 of Everyday Italian, Giada creates the dream early spring menu. Every dish is light but rich, bright but satisfying, bursting with a combination of fresh produce and pantry staples. It’s my favorite episode of the entire show.

I imagine there are a few souls dragging out there today. For some people, sleep is already the hardest area to change because of shift work, young children, etc. Add to this scenario the lost hour that disappears into the ether every March, and the effects can be miserable. Even for the “best” situations, switching the clock (in either direction) leaves a person feeling oddly displaced, like you’re never where you’re supposed to be at any given time. The world is going about its business in the usual routine, but something feels off—and it takes at least a few days to finally settle back into a circadian congruence.
Switching the clocks is just one of those things that underscore how our modern life inevitably strays from natural rhythms. For all but a small fraction of our evolutionary history, humans have equated natural light with awake and dark with sleep. We are still products of that environment, no matter how many bulbs are burning in our houses at 11:00 at night.
In terms of physiology, there’s a legitimate toll to the whole time change project. The circadian rhythm is a powerful physical phenomenon – right down to the molecular level. Hormonal levels, blood pressure, body temperature, even gene activity are directed by it. Although circadian rhythm is ordered and maintained internally, it’s obviously influenced by the external, namely light and dark cycles.
Particularly with the “spring ahead,” more of us find ourselves genuinely struggling. Companies see a rise in workplace injuries because people are tired. For their part, researchers who have analyzed large surveys have even found evidence that suggests we’re wired to stay on standard time. During non-working days, scientists found, “the timing of sleep…follows the seasonal progression of dawn under standard time, but not under DST.” In fact, their study (which also included observation of 50 individuals) concluded that, overall, humans’ circadian rhythm doesn’t truly adjust to daylight savings time period. (The people most negatively impacted, not surprisingly, were the night owls among the group.)
Messing with our bodies’ natural physiological patterns has, as you might expect, real consequences. A study presented to the Society for Neuroscience showed that mice whose day/night cycles were thrown off exhibited “weight gain, impulsivity, slower thinking, and other physiological and behavioral changes.” (Those of us who have ever been sleep deprived can probably identify with these creatures.) Incidentally, metabolic hormones— including insulin—were affected by the day/night cycle changes.
More than ever this week, work with your entrainment options. Get some early sun, and exercise earlier. Dim lights and forgo electronics three hours before bed or even sooner if you can. Shift your meal schedule or consider fasting, a little recognized tool for jet lag, which is essentially what we’re all dealing with today. And good luck dealing with the kids….

Perhaps you saw this post from late last week, announcing KitchenAid’s new annual Color of the Year? (See: KitchenAid Just Announced Their Color of the Year.) If you didn’t, you should take some time to read it now. (I’ll wait!) Then come back to this post because, this weekend, I got to check out the special color in person.
See, this weekend I was at the International Home + Housewares Show, which takes place every March in the very cold and windy city of Chicago. (I’ll be writing more about what I came across, so stay tuned!) At this show, KitchenAid almost always displays new stand mixer colors, which will be released throughout the year. I got to see the new hues and a few other gadgets that KitchenAid will be launching soon. And I took some pictures for you guys!
Whether you already have one, you’re currently shopping for one, or you’re just dreaming about owning a KitchenAid stand mixer, it’s fun to know about (and see) the new options. Keep reading to check out the new colors — and a few other upcoming things from the brand!

The simple corn muffin is a beautiful thing. You can serve this make-ahead marvel as a side dish and then eat any leftovers for a quick breakfast.
But we can do better than just tossing some cornmeal in a bowl. These muffins are laced deliciously with shredded sharp cheddar and slivered jalapeños. The flavor combination is a perfect match.

Sometimes you really need to get in there and give your kitchen a deep clean, but you literally only have 10 minutes before you need to run out the door, welcome guests, or, well, just go to bed. Can you make a dent in those 10 minutes? I’m here to tell you that you can!
