September is around the corner—and while yes, sure, the official first day of fall isn't until September 22, I think we can all agree that the itch to collapse into a sea of mums in a chunky sweater starts immediately post Labor Day (even if it's still 80 percent humidity outside). And if you're anything like me, that means that the countdown until soup season is very much on.

Growing up, I’ll admit, I was tuna-salad-averse. The tuna salad of my childhood was heavy on the mayo, full of unexpected chunks of celery, and light on salt. As an adult, however (with a seemingly endless need to incorporate protein into my diet), I found myself returning to that once-feared, now-beloved canned fish.

Whether you’re a meal prep extraordinaire or stick to a standard salad or sammie for lunch each day, having a variety of toppings on hand is key to zhuzh up your plate. Spices, seasonings, and condiments each have their merits to bring flair and flavor to even the most bland dishes; and so, too, do fresh and pickled produce. One such veggie that doesn’t get a ton of airtime (but IMHO should) is the humble banana pepper. It packs a satisfying blend of sweetness and spice, enriching dishes and dips with unexpected zest.

While plant-based alternative milks have become increasingly trendy in recent years, the most common complaint about them is that they often don't measure up in nutrition compared to dairy milk. The thing is, dairy milk might not be suitable for certain people, particularly those who are lactose intolerant. That's where ultra-filtered milk comes in. This new-age milk is high in protein and calcium while containing no (or very little) lactose. But what is ultra-filtered milk, anyway? Two registered dietitians *whey* in to answer this question and more.

“The mouth and the gut are both important parts of the digestive system, and they are closely connected through the food we eat and the bacteria present in both areas,” says Michael Wei, DDS, a New York City-based cosmetic dentist. Your mouth the first step of digestion, where food is chewed and then passed down to the esophagus. The bacteria and other tiny organisms living in your mouth maintain its health and protect you from disease2. And every time you swallow, "oral bacteria can transfer to the stomach,“ and then to your gut, says Erin Fraundorf, DMD, MSD, an orthodontist and founder of BOCA Orthodontic + Whitening Studio.

As an apartment dweller, I'm a proud member of the Anti-Clutter Club. So, two years ago, when my husband and I were creating our wedding registry, we had one rule: whatever we put on the list needed to be something we'd use at least once a month. That meant no single-use appliances (ugh, but I do still want an ice cream maker) and definitely nothing that would take up precious countertop real estate because it was too big to be stowed away. When it came to curating our dream kitchen gear, the KitchenAid Mini Food Chopper ($60) seemed to fit both criteria, so it went on the registry.

If you keep seeing TikToks about "moon face" or "cortisol face" and are wondering what the heck that means, well, welcome to the club. I was confused myself until I recently went down a social media rabbit hole, where I discovered videos (with thousands of views, BTW) of people showing their swollen, puffy faces and blaming too-high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. After sharing tales of woe, and a few "before" and "after" pics, many posters end their videos with not-so-discreet callouts to buy their ebook, use their products, or "learn more at the link in bio," so viewers can get rid of their moon face, too.

Grilling or pan searing salmon can have its challenges, including issues with overcooking and sticking to the pan or grill. Baked salmon, on the other hand, is a much more forgiving cooking method that is often lower in added fat. The problem with baking salmon is that it leaves a lot to be dsired visually. A white protein called albumin often appears on the surface of salmon that throws off the look, and it can be tricky to achieve the golden-brown caramelization that occurs with pan seared fish.
