When it comes to quick, grab-and-go breakfast options, muffins don’t get nearly the praise they deserve. They’re the meal-worthy cousin to the cupcake, the single-serve version of quick bread — and you can take your pick of sweet or savory.
Chock-full of nuts, fruit, veggies, and more, these 10 muffin recipes are a satisfying way to tackle breakfast on the go.
We don’t eat like normal people around here. Oh sure, we eat recognizable food — we’re not 3D printing our meals or anything — but because of the particular needs and demands of our jobs, our schedules are a little out of whack. I work from home as a food writer, recipe developer, and photographer; he works during the evenings as an editor for a major online sports media company.

Ready for the organized pantry of your dreams? Good news — it’s not as tough as you think it is. Take a few pointers from these pantry role models and you’ll be well on your way.

I have a confession to make: I’ve never truly understood how your home can have an impact on your personal well-being until about a month ago. I know, I know. I work for a company called Apartment Therapy Media, for goodness’ sake. But it just never clicked for me. If my bedroom was messy? I felt a little down, but I didn’t take much issue with it.
This all changed for me after reading Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. You may have heard it mentioned a good deal this last year, as a lot of people also found it, well, life-changing. Here are some of the key takeaways I found helpful when looking at my kitchen.
I thought my mother had taught me all of her best tricks in the kitchen, but no — she had one more for me, which she casually let drop while in the middle of our Costco shopping expedition. It’s this: She buys bulk salmon from Costco and cooks it all at once in the slow cooker. And it’s darn good.
