Massaging the kale leaves well with the dressing allows the leaves to soften and tenderize—the key is to not be shy and just get your hands in there. The bowl is full of gorgeous colors: There are red kale leaves, green Brussels sprouts, golden croutons, and jewel-toned pomegranate seeds. All together this salad is a gorgeous feast for the eyes, inviting eaters to dig in. It’s all tossed with a sweet-tart Dijon mustard vinaigrette, whose sharp flavor plays off the buttery herb croutons....

Over the past few years, there has been an uptick in YouTube channels and Instagram accounts focusing on becoming debt-free, with many of these platforms run by women. These channels are more akin to diaries that showcase financial ups and downs than they are to polished money explainers and how-tos. These female influencers are not experts in finance—they don’t even work in finance—but they’re taking charge of their money and inviting viewers along for the ride....

Case in point? TikTok users across the globe are currently grating hard-boiled eggs on top of their avo toast, creating a protein-rich meal that’s fun to look at and still very easy to make. And when it comes to avocado toast toppings, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Avocado Toast Toppings Whether you’re craving some bold flavors courtesy of hot sauce or a seasoning blend, or are looking to make a hearty meal out of your avocado toast by adding some smoked salmon to the mix, we’ve got you covered....

Fun Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt Everyone always talks about what kind of habits routines do you want to continue into normal life once we are no longer staying home. For me, one of those things is our daily family walks. We’ve been walking almost daily around our neighborhood and the sun and exercise has been a game-changer! It also means that I’ve had to find ways to keep my 7-year-old entertained on said walks because walking around the same neighborhood every day can get a little old....

What makes the Zen so special? Considering the brand’s reputation, you know it’s going to be multi-functional. First, rather than just boiling water, Instant Pot’s kettle allows you to designate a specific temperature from 105°F to 212°F. This is an absolutely necessary feature for serious tea drinkers, because green tea (for instance) is meant to be brewed at a much lower temperature—around 170°F—than, say, English Breakfast. Same goes for those who make pour-over coffee at home, because the water must be between 195°F and 205°F....

I first fell for Parade’s Internet-famous underwear earlier this year, followed by its comfy bralettes, so when I got the chance to test out its new PJs, I wasn’t surprised by how much I loved them. The brand launched a collection of loungewear styles in its new waffle material, including bike shorts, joggers, and cropped tanks, in mid-November. I tested out a set featuring a loose-fitting long-sleeve shirt and wide-leg pants, and it lives up to Parade’s comfortable and modern reputation....

We skipped the usual red food coloring in favor of a more wholesome choice: natural beet juice. Look for it at your grocer’s with other bottled juices, or use any leftover juice from a package of vacuum-packed beets. A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of ground cinnamon round out the flavors nicely and make a pretty presentation. Serve with our white chocolate macadamia nut scones.

Sponsored by: Tillamook – all ideas are 100% honest and my own My oldest son is pretty picky when it comes to food. There are only a couple of things he likes – and one them is orange (aka cheddar cheese). Another is bacon. And a third is bread. I took him to grab a hamburger the other day and when he opened it up and saw white cheese, he immediately decided he was having none of it because he wanted the orange cheese....

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Potato Skins One of my favorite appetizers is buffalo chicken dip. To be honest, I’m a little obsessed with buffalo chicken dip. I’ve made regular dip, buffalo chicken flautas, buffalo chicken cups, buffalo chicken rollups, buffalo chicken egg rolls, more! It’s only natural that I’d combine buffalo chicken dip with another favorite of mine – potato skins. I normally like the crispy potato skins that are filled with cheese and bacon but decided to change things up with this recipe and combined them with my favorite buffalo chicken flavor instead....
