Place the steaks on the preheated baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

If there’s one thing I can get behind, it’s the practice of opening a little treat every day. And when it’s a surprise, that’s even better. This is the key reason an advent calendar excites me: pening a door to a little gift can turn any day into a better one, especially when the treat is a mini Bonne Maman jar filled with a sweet spread.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

On the days I go into the office, I usually pack a salad for lunch. It’s an easy way to get a wide variety of veggies (and sometimes fruit) into my midday meal, and it’s also my favorite way to repurpose leftovers and minimize food waste. Plus eating salad is good for you—and since I’m working on making healthier choices to help lower my cholesterol before I go in for my annual physical later this year, I’m all in.

The #1 Ingredient to Keep In Your Freezer for Making Salads

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

If you were lucky like I was, we had some amazing lunch ladies that made some of the best lunches. Alas, kids these days won't know how good food could be. Anyway, one of these items was a peanut butter bar dessert, and oh my goodness... it was such a prized item. If you were lucky, sometimes they'd let you come grab another one if lunch was just about over and they had extra (also rare). Keep in mind that this is for a jelly roll sized portion. If you would like to make a 9x 13 size portion, just cut the recipe in half. Here's what you'll need to make about 24 large or 48 small bars:

I’ve been lanky all my life, so this summer, I’ve made it my mission to build muscle. According to my nutritionist, adding more protein and healthy fats to my diet is the best place to start. I’m a vegetarian, and until now, I’ve always leaned heavily on carb-heavy foods—especially for breakfast. But recently, along with my favorite buttered toast or cheesy bagel, I’ve been eating two eggs daily.

This pint-sized pup is eagerly awaiting her chance to find her forever home, with her arrival in Massachusetts scheduled for Monday, August 26th.
