Dairy Does It According to a new global study published by BMJ (British Medical Journal), adding two servings of whole milk, yogurt or cheese to your daily diet could lower your risk of diabetes and high blood pressure by up to 12 percent. Pour yourself a glass of milk, or try the yogurt-dipped frozen bananas on page 132. In Season: Swiss Chard Kale gets all the attention, but Swiss chard is a super veggie, too! It’s loaded with vitamins A, C and K, plus it’s high in fiber, iron and antioxidants. You can use both the leaves and stems: Chop them up and add to an omelet or pasta, or try the ricotta-chard dumplings on page 60. Can Water Improve Your Memory? Maybe! A recent study from the European Journal…

Strange things happen when you stop going to the grocery store. I went 95 days without a trip to the supermarket this spring, and during the first month of that long, dark period, I ordered all of our groceries through a local delivery service. I was never quite sure what would show up. I’d get weird flavors of crackers and green bananas, or three different brands of milk. Sometimes I’d get smart substitutions, like naan instead of pita, and sometimes I’d get less convenient ones, like cream of coconut in place of coconut milk. (Sorry, guys, we’re having piña coladas tonight instead of Thai red curry!) Don’t get me wrong, I was so grateful for the shoppers who were working during that time. I just desperately missed being able to…

The Secret’s Out When stay-at-home orders forced all of us to postpone travel plans this year, executives at DoubleTree decided to break some good news—in the form of their secret cookie recipe. The hotel chain is famous for greeting guests with warm chocolate chip cookies, but since the popular treats arrived in 1986, DoubleTree has refused to give up the details. “Revealing the recipe was a big discussion,” admits the chain’s global head Shawn McAteer. Try the recipe yourself, and take note of the secret ingredient: lemon juice! DoubleTree Signature Cookie Makes 26 cookies ½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar¾ cup packed light brown sugar2 large eggs1¼ teaspoons vanilla extract¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice2¼ cups flour½ cup rolled oats1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon…

Vegetable gardens are back. Extra time at home has turned us into a nation of gardeners: Sales at the seed company Burpee nearly doubled during state lockdowns, and calls to the company’s hotline spiked by 75 percent! “I’ve never seen so many people discover their yards,” says chairman George Ball. Some experts have compared the trend to World War II, when nearly 40 percent of America’s fruits and vegetables came from victory gardens. It’s not too late to get a garden going: Late summer is a great time to plant mustard greens, kale, chard, fingerling potatoes and parsnips. WHITE BREAD might be healthier than you think. A new study found that wheat used for these loaves now contains more dietary fiber and heart-healthy betaine than it did in the past.…
