From Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda to George Clooney and Anderson Cooper, many people look distinguished with and embrace their gray hair. And many more, celebrities or otherwise, were forced to do so during the pandemic when salons shut down and it was challenging or impossible to keep up with professional touch-ups. But what if there was another way to get around gray hair—if you’re not so fond of it, that is—rather than dyeing it back to be closer to your original hue?...

A 3-pound bag of potatoes is more economical than buying a single potato for one recipe. If you buy more potatoes than you need, you know you can use them up with any number of recipes (our current favorite: Melting Potatoes). But sometimes, you might not be ready to eat them before they get soft and begin to sprout. Stored correctly, potatoes can last two to three months (depending on how long they’ve been sitting on the store shelf)....

It is a combination of coming out of a long, cold and gray-toned winter in Vermont combined with the cheerful promise of fresh summertime fruits, veggies and herbs illustrated on the seed packets. Before you know it, I have picked out many more types of plants than I could possibly fit in my three raised beds....

If you’ve ever been to Costco, it’s no surprise that they have large portions. For a family of four, it’s practically a miracle to find so much good stuff at wholesale prices....

You may be wondering, is popcorn healthy? What about if you’re trying to lose weight? On one hand, it’s high in fiber and low in calories compared to most snack foods. But, if you douse it in butter—a la movie theaters—then you may be getting more calories than you bargained for. Snacking itself is not a bad thing—it can fuel you until your next meal and also can be a great place to get in some food groups you’re missing in your other meals....

It’s been quite a week. One that has reminded me, and I’m sure many others, in so many challenging ways that life is really short and precious and the one thing we know for certain is that none of us will be here forever. And while I would prefer to not get sad news, it serves as a good reminder that I’m probably spending too much time worrying about small things and not enough time focused on the big, important things....

But once she gave her speech, the source of the emotion became clear: this recognition held more importance than the trophy....

Pictured Recipe: Spinach & Egg Scramble with Raspberries Eggs have become a surprisingly controversial food over the years. Though they might seem like a benign and affordable protein source, there is a lot of misinformation around their nutrition. During the years where low-fat diets were trending, eggs were vilified. Now that fat is back in vogue (think: keto diet), they seem to be less polarizing. Not to mention, eggs are one of the most affordable proteins in the grocery store, costing only 14 cents per serving at many major retailers....

Since the dog days of summer are just around the corner, we wanted to find a way to enjoy iced coffee season without having to subject ourselves to sad, diluted java. Sure, you could freeze your coffee into ice cubes ahead of time and pour hot coffee over it for a non-diluted brew, but that’s an extra step we don’t always feel like taking on busy mornings....

Loading up a pantry with quality food is always a wise idea. Being able to put together a snack or meal with what you have on hand can make your life easier when you can’t get to the store (see our favorite, healthy pantry essentials). And while it’s relatively easy to get fiber and other nutrients from common pantry staples like whole grains and canned fruits and vegetables, finding delicious shelf-stable protein can be a bit more of a challenge....
