Critics are raving about Eighth Grade — check out that 98 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes! — and with good reason. This heartfelt comedy presents an unflinching look at the trials and tribulations of middle school with an honesty most teen films shy away from. Focusing on the socially awkward Kayla (Elsie Fisher), the movie speaks to anyone who remembers that often-cringeworthy time of life.
IKEA cabinets usually tend to go one of two ways: They can either end up looking cheap and too, well, IKEA-y, or they go the opposite way and look too fancy, like nothing an average person could actually pull off. Of course, there is a middle ground — and this post was created to prove just that.
Sure, some of these kitchens were put together by professional designers, but others were designed by average people with flat-out good taste. Here are 10 IKEA kitchens that you could totally pull off in your own space.
Thinking about doing Whole30? Your first one can be a little daunting. For a month you don’t eat any dairy, grains, legumes, alcohol, added sugar, and processed foods. Then you slowly reintroduce them all one by one to see what — if anything — bothers you.

If it seems like there are a lot of rules, you’re right. There are! But rest assured that you can overhaul your eating habits without overhauling your grocery shopping routine too. Here are 10 of the best Whole30-compliant grocery products you can find at Trader Joe’s!
I’m not the most brand-loyal shopper. My running shoes have had an assortment of logos, I’ve owned cars manufactured in a handful of countries, and my fridge is usually filled with whatever stuff was on sale that week. But … BUT! … there are three brands that I will always be 100 percent committed to: Heinz (for ketchup), Wendy’s, and any frozen meal made by Amy’s Kitchen.
When it comes to stocking the freezer, the Kitchn team really practices what we preach. We’ve shared all sorts of information on freezer-aisle finds that cut down on meal prep and the pantry items to keep stashed away in your freezer to help prolong shelf life.
And today we’re sharing the foods our editors keep stocked in their freezers at all times. Maybe you’ll pick up an idea or two from the mix!
Frozen meals have come a long way since the microwave dinners of the ’50s. And most of it has to do with two little words: Trader Joe’s. While they’re not the only players in the game of frozen meals, they certainly seem to have captured our readers’ hearts (and tummies).
We asked you guys to tell us about your favorite frozen meals. Your answers included a lot of Trader Joe’s — and a few other name brands, too.
There’s a lot to be said for being able to slap some food between two slices of bread and call it a meal. If you’ve gone gluten-free, though, this grab-and-go convenience isn’t always that simple. While there are a lot of gluten-free sandwich breads out there, a lot of them can be dry, crumbly messes.
That’s not to say that there aren’t some options that are pretty close to the real thing. Here are our picks for the three best nationally available brands that can successfully satisfy your sandwich cravings.
Note: Although some of these brands have loaves in the bakery or bread aisle, they’re mostly sold in the freezer section.
We recently ran a story about the best way to get stickers off new dishes. One surefire way to do it is with Goo Gone, a product I’ve used myself on many a photo shoot to get dishes and decorative items (like lamps and tchotkes) photo-ready when they had sales tags on them. But when we read through your comments, there was a common complaint: Lots of people hate the smell, and sometimes it leaves a petroleum-y residue on surfaces. A few of you worried about using a product that smelled so strongly on surfaces you might use for cooking and dining.
We get it! So we hunted around for an alternative.
Within the last year, Costco has become one of my favorite places to shop — especially when I’m looking to save money on healthy and organic foods. Surprisingly one of the best ways to do just that, I’ve found, is to shop the frozen food section at Costco. It’s actually the area I head to first!
I firmly believe every Taco Tuesday needs a solid taco slaw — one that’s crisp and refreshing, just a bit creamy, and works with any filling you have on the roster for the night. Consider this your go-to recipe from here on out. Crunchy red cabbage and sweet carrots combine with spicy jalapeños and chopped fresh cilantro, and the whole mess is tossed with just a bit of mayo for creaminess and a big squeeze of lime juice for tang.
It’s simple and straightforward — ready to complement any kind of taco, be it chicken, shrimp, beef, or black bean.
