This creamy tomato and spinach pasta dish comes together in about 20 minutes and is easy to make, not to mention budget friendly. Just boil the pasta of your choice as you prepare the sauce in a separate pan. While the recipe is carb heavy (pasta is my weakness) it's full of healthy Mediterranean ingredients: tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, baby spinach, onions, Parmesan cheese and a smattering of dried herbs.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

(MA) Get ready to fall in love with the gentlest little dog around. Mary Anne is a young Chihuahua who recently came into Great Dog Rescue New England's care for unspecified reasons.

A cup of hot coffee in the morning does more than just boost your energy. It can also help you poop. But coffee isn’t the only beverage that can keep you regular. If you’re constipated, making sure you are adequately hydrated should be a top priority. Research has found that even small variations in hydration can increase your risk of constipation because your poop is mostly water (up to 74% water, in fact!).1 That fluid is important for keeping stools soft and easy to pass. However, when hydration levels dip, the large intestine soaks up water as food passes through it, which leads to hard stools.

There’s a saying I always used to hear from chefs and my culinary school instructors: “A dull knife is the most dangerous tool in the kitchen.” It’s true, and even the best knives will lose their sharpness. There are a few reasons it's unsafe: First, dull knives give you less control, so food might slide or wobble as you slice, leading to accidental contact with the blade. The other is that because the blade is dull, it could cause more damage if it does cut you. (That’s because you’re using more pressure to cut, and the less-sharp edges don’t cut smoothly.)

If you’ve ever eaten a spoonful of flavored yogurt, you know just how sweet it can be. Most dairy products contain some sugar because lactose—aka milk sugar—is a sugar. However, naturally occurring lactose is considered a natural sugar. But some varieties of dairy products—yogurts, ice cream, kefir, cottage cheese—might also contain added sugars if they’re flavored. After all, sweetened dairy products are one of the top sources of added sugar in our diet.
