dishwasher dishwasher dishwasher dishwasher Even though your dishwasher’s job is to clean, it too needs a once-over periodically. Over time, food residues gunk up the drain and spray arms. The clogs reduce the amount of water circulating during the wash and rinse cycles and dishes can end up with a film of baked-on food and soap.

Big resolutions leave us wanting more and are usually ditched after the first few weeks of the year. A recent study might have found a way to give us something we all could use a bit more of in the wake of 2020: happiness and motivation....

There’s no evidence that anyone has contracted the new coronavirus through food. The risk is very low based on the information we have about COVID-19, but of course as the virus is new we’re still learning more....
I love breakfast (check out my favorite breakfast of all time here). I’m a morning person, and after water and coffee (mmmmm, coffee), I pretty much always start my day with breakfast. The key to a good breakfast for me is it has to be satisfying. I don’t want to deal with hanger just an hour later. That means enjoying a balance of protein, healthy fats and fiber most mornings. That might look like oatmeal with nuts and fruit, a yogurt parfait with berries and granola, a smoothie with some peanut butter toast or an egg and cheese sandwich (try these make-ahead high-protein breakfasts for inspiration)....
Sometimes you just don’t have the time to whip something up at home—no matter how easy and simple it may be or how few ingredients it uses. Really, sometimes you need something that you can rip open and eat without even dirtying a dish. When made convenient, healthy plant-based proteins can compete with the other stuff that’s not quite as healthy but easy to grab.

And no, we’re not just talking about how the salt water seems to magically clear up our skin and sinuses. Something about vast water makes us feel small and puts things into perspective. No wonder people flock to the nearest body of water at the sight of a long weekend—it’s literally a part of who we are....

Lots of people are curious to know if there are foods out there that are natural immune boosters. The thing is, “boost” isn’t really the right word. You can help support your immune system naturally with good nutrition and lifestyle habits, like trying to manage stress, getting enough sleep and regularly exercising. But (and there’s a big but coming up)… No food or supplement is going to cure or prevent COVID-19, or any illness for that matter....

Don’t let the label fool you: You don’t need to spend a lot to score a really solid bottle of wine. Most humans fall victim to the placebo effect when it comes to their vino, research proves. In an August 2017 Scientific Reports study, participants were told to sample from a bottle of wine that was presented at its current price, then marked up 50%. Even though it was the exact same drink, people rated the higher-priced wine better....
