Buying iced coffee or cold brew can be expensive, which is why we developed a recipe so you can make your own cold brew at home.

More than 1 in 10 Americans—and a shocking 18% of U.S. women—suffer from migraines, reports the Migraine Research Foundation (MRF). And it’s often not just a passing thing; most migraine-sufferers experience them at least once or twice per month, and 4 million of the 39 million Americans with migraines have at least 15 migraine days per month, the MRF adds. A migraine is much more than a common headache. It’s an intense throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head, that sometimes can be accompanied by other migraine symptoms such as visual disturbances or “auras,” sensitivity to light, touch, smell or sound, numbness in the face or extremities, nausea, dizziness or vomiting....

Trader Joe’s has become one of the most popular places to grocery shop, and there’s good reason for its cult-like following. The growing chain has become a place where you can stock up on high-quality produce and basic weekly needs at low prices, but it also offers a line of unique products (like cauliflower gnocchi and Everything but the Bagel Seasoning) that’s constantly changing and evolving. I’m always in search of new TJ’s products to try, so I asked some of my colleagues to share their favorite foods....

A good cup of coffee in the morning can set the mood for your whole day. But when the coffee shops are closed, relying on a barista to serve your daily cup may not be an option for you. If that’s the case, you might be looking to brew a good cup yourself. And, depending on the amount of coffee you drink a day, it could also save you some cash....

The holidays can be so stressful—especially when it comes to planning the perfect menu. Most holiday dishes can be intimidating or time-consuming (think: perfectly roasted prime rib, homemade mashed potatoes and almost-too-pretty-to-eat desserts). So whenever we can find a shortcut to make our holiday hosting a little easier, we jump on it. Giada De Laurentiis recently posted a six-ingredient appetizer that is super festive, easy to make and requires almost no cooking: her crostini Christmas tree....

Cholesterol levels can get a little confusing. First there are “good” and “bad” types of cholesterol, and they’re supposed to be in certain ranges. Not to mention, certain foods can help and hurt when trying to lower your cholesterol. What does it all mean? Having a grasp on what your cholesterol levels mean can be important for your heart health, so it’s worth a brief explanation. In short, cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in every cell in your body....

Grill-Smoked Barbecue Brisket Credit: Eric Wolfinger My father made an excellent Hanukkah brisket, a recipe cribbed from a food-stained cookbook that I never learned the name of. He made latkes, too, the potato pancakes most often associated with the holiday. But it was his brisket, I think, of which he was most proud. Brisket is the type of food that unites, in good times and in bad, and maybe that’s why my father was so fond of it....

Frozen blueberries and grapes have all been deemed “nature’s popsicles” by many healthy eaters in the past, and frozen bananas are blended up into a soft-serve consistency to be the star of thousands of nice cream recipes. But TikTok—home to countless cleaning tips, dance crazes, life hacks and food trends—is inspiring us to expand our frozen fruit dessert horizons. We’re not quite sure which TikTok-er originally shared this idea, but one quick clip by Nicole Modic, creator of the food blog Kale Junkie is certainly making waves....

Once you reach your 50s, it can be important to make changes to your diet and lifestyle that help you get the nutrients you need for later in life. As our bodies change with time, so should what’s on your plate. And while you may have been able to scarf down a donut or two in your 20s without second thought, it can have a larger impact on your blood sugar levels and risk for diabetes and heart disease when you’re older....
