Come summer, our herb gardens are overflowing even more than our favorite fully-loaded cheese and charcuterie boards and our refrigerator’s Costco-sized sparkling water stock. The only thing more prolific in our home gardens (or at our local farmers markets), it seems? Zucchini. There’s a reason why it’s deemed a “summer squash”—it’s prime time for growing and cooking the vegetable, and it’s so good at its job of producing new fruit that there’s even a holiday inspired by this abundance....

Healing Cabbage Soup Credit: Photography / Kelsey Hansen, Styling / Greg Luna I’m just getting over a cold, that (somehow) didn’t end up being COVID and wow—being sick is no fun.

And while no single food or drink will totally prevent you from getting sick, certain nutrients and staying hydrated can help support your immune system....
kale salad with fried egg Blood sugar spikes aren’t good for your heart, mood or energy. With a spike, you’ll likely get a crash shortly after, which will leave you feeling lethargic and still hungry, where you might reach for more sugary foods that will, yes, spike those levels right back up again. And the vicious cycle continues. Pictured recipe: Skillet Eggs with Sausage & Tomato Aioli What’s more, if you have a medical condition, like diabetes or heart disease, you’ll need to be even more careful to keep your blood sugar balanced after eating a meal, so picking the right foods to fill your plate with is super important....

oprah cooking Credit: Instagram / @Oprah Oprah Winfrey is truly living her best life. The media executive, talk show host, TV producer and philanthropist may usually have a jam-packed schedule, but like most of us right now, she’s spending most of her time at home practicing social distancing. I thought that’s where the similarities between Oprah and us regular folks would end, but I was wrong. When it comes to her quarantine meals, Oprah is trying to find joy in the routine of cooking (just like us!...
