“The Daily Value (DV) for iron is 18 milligrams,” explains Sydney Spiewak, MS, RDN, CDN, a Connecticut-based clinical dietitian. To best understand the importance of eating iron-rich foods, she says we need to define the two types of iron: heme​ and ​non-heme​. ​ “Heme ​iron is found in animal meats and seafood, and is ​the form of iron that is most readily absorbed by the body,” she explains. “Non-heme​ iron is found in plant-based foods, as​ opposed to meat....

As a mom of two, I’ve been through this saga twice now. Yes, twice. I didn’t get to reuse much of my maternity wear from my first pregnancy (since my first was born in March) so I needed mostly fall and winter clothes.

“I just thought, if I am redoing it, I am going to make it as easy as possible to clean,” says Downes, who through her work knows all too well how bad design can make things harder to clean. Every choice Downes made was informed by future cleanability: A floating cavity replaced the previous cabinet that created a crevice that gathered dust and hair; tiny mosaic floor tiles were replaced by the largest tile Downes could find on a mesh back; wall tiles got supersized to four-by-eight inches to eliminate grout lines and extended to the whole room to protect the walls from splashes; and even the traditional toilet was jettisoned for a fully-skirted model, which was harder to install, but much easier to scrub....

Learning how to deal with anxiety or fight depression takes daily effort, particularly if outside factors exacerbate your anxiety or depression (or both). However, with a slight change of perspective, these sayings could quiet your mind or remind you that what you’re feeling is normal and not permanent. These quotes can be used for yourself, shared on social media, sent to a friend, or used on a letterboard as a more permanent reminder that managing your thoughts can help manage your mood....

Kebabs are a great summer food option because they’re light, fresh, and traditionally grilled. Because the main course—the humble kebab—is on the lighter side, you want your kebab sides to be light, too.

Whether you’re craving veggies, a nice salad, or something a little more hearty—but never heavy—there’s a great, easy side dish for kebabs here for you....

In addition to feasting and gathering family members (or friends for Friendsgiving) from every corner of the country, many Thanksgiving traditions include some form of expressing gratitude—this holiday is a day for giving thanks, after all. Whether your Turkey Day crew is the type to go one-by-one around the table to share what each person is thankful for or you pull out the Thanksgiving conversation starters, you’ve probably been doing at least some reflection of your own on what you feel thankful for....

For a year like the one we’ve all just been through, we need a different kind of holiday card. One that lets us get a little too real, with our overgrown quarantine hair, drive-by birthday parties, toilet paper hoarding and sourdough baking. One that expresses just how much we all miss each other, now that staying physically apart is the best way to show that we care. If you’re looking for that kind of holiday card, you’re in luck....
