Cauliflower “rice” is so popular at Trader Joe’s that select locations have placed a limit on how many you can buy. The low-carb alternative to traditional rice is being rationed — customers can purchase two cauliflower rice bags a day — at two locations in the Northeast: South Orange, NJ, and Fairfield, CT. While the former establishment told Well + Good a cap is in effect, the latter said they are not “actively enforcing” the ration.

Welcome to Kitchn’s new series My Favorite Healthy Recipes, where we show you how real people around the country (and even world) eat “healthy,” however they choose to define that for themselves. Maybe you’ll even find a few recipes to add to your own meal plan.

In the last couple years, alcohol has been infused into just about every food imaginable (besides broccoli, I’m imagining). One of the most popular ways to get tipsy and eat, however, is probably with ice cream. Boutique establishments sell booze-infused ice cream for times when you need to cool down and get a little tipsy too, and there’s also a ton of recipes out there for you to make your own boozy concoctions (thanks, Pinterest).
If you have yet to try this trendy combination, you’re in luck. There is about to be alcohol ice cream at a frozen foods aisle near you, depending on where you live.
Vitamin A deficiency is a worldwide public health problem that especially impacts nations in Africa and Southeast Asia — it’s been estimated that anywhere from 650,000 to 750,000 kids around the world suffer from a deficit of vitamin A. According to the World Health Organization, a shortage of vitamin A is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and increases the odds of disease and death by severe infection.
To curb the global epidemic, researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have created super-food bananas that are rich in vitamin A.
Imagine a world where you’re grabbing ingredients from your grocery store and the receipt outs your habits by printing the nutritional profile of your entire shopping cart. Would you feel proud? Embarrassed? Maybe shocked? Well those feelings could soon become a reality. A new proposal by academics at Birmingham City University says that shoppers should get details they may not want to confront in their receipts: calories, sugars, fats and salts. Aside from potentially food-shaming consumers, it’s not exactly guaranteed to be as reflective of food habits as one may think.
French wine has always intimidated me. My love for wine blossomed in Italy and for years I felt quite content drinking bottles almost exclusively from there. Italian wines felt approachable to me — and more importantly, many were and continue to be quite affordable for my lifestyle.
Yet as my interest in wine has grown over the years, I’ve slowly dipped into French wine. And you know what? There really isn’t much to worry about. Sure, there are plenty of fancy, expensive bottles out there, but a good chunk of the great wine that comes out of the country is easy to drink and easy on your wallet.
These affordable wines are also the wines real French people drink — and they’re the ones you should drink, too.

When I was in elementary school, my mom sewed a lot of my clothes. She was especially into food-themed dresses, as was I. There was a picnic table dress with sandwich buttons, and a watermelon-printed dress with tiny watermelon wedge appliques, among others. I really thought I was all that and a bag of (sour cream and onion) chips.
Well, there’s a new food clothing queen now, and although she’s probably too young for entering the third grade or even reading, she’s taking the social media world by storm. The most inspiring part of this is that most of her clothing would barely even really cover her left foot.
It might feel like a major letdown when your craving for juicy summer peaches is met with a selection of rock-hard orbs. Those fruits lack both the taste and texture you’re after. But have a little patience, follow this tip, and they’ll be exactly what you’re dreaming of sooner than you think.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been hearing about Yeti coolers for years. My hardcore camper friends won’t head into the woods without one, and most of the reviewers on Amazon treat the cooler as if it can walk on water (of course, if the water had been in the cooler, it’d be ice!).
I had to get my hands on one to see if it was worth the hype — and the money. The brand’s most popular cooler is the Tundra 45 model (it also happens to be $350), so that’s what I tested out.
Y’all, July is heating up to a swelter in Georgia right now following a rain-filled June. After a weekend of cooking in the heat, I’m saying no more and planning a week of low-cook meals. There will be no turning on the oven and absolutely no grilling this week.
The key to successfully avoiding the stove this week is grabbing some precooked proteins at the grocery store (you could easily avoid the extra expense by doing a little meal prep over the weekend with the air conditioning cranked to 11). Here’s what we eat when it’s too damn hot to eat.
