Just like many others, my husband and I immediately joined the plant-based burger bandwagon. We subbed out our typical red meat burgers and grilled chicken for Impossible burgers and sausages. We encouraged our friends to try them and even brought them to family barbecues, hoping to convert our loved ones with one single bite. Admittedly, It wasn’t until a few months later that I turned over the Impossible Burger package and noticed the lengthy list of ingredients....

If you want to cut the prep time in half, try some instant mashed potato upgrades instead of prepping the potatoes from scratch. Also, if you have some white wine left from cooking, pour a glass for yourself; it will also pair nicely with the meal.

Reader question: Why do sensitive skin products still irritate my sensitive skin? Can you recommend some that actually work? —Rachel Hamaker “Clean beauty” has become a buzzy term, but here’s the thing: Many people assume anything that has “all-natural” on the label is uniformly safe for sensitive skin, and that’s not the case. “They can still contain botanicals and fragrances, which can worsen irritation for some,” points out Marisa Garshick, M....

Aside from the usual differentiators (Is it oaky? Is it dry?), there’s another characteristic that’s becoming more and more of a sticking point among American wine consumers. Just like the food we eat, Americans are looking for sustainable wines from growers who practice natural and biodynamic farming. But what do those terms actually mean? More importantly, is buying a bottle just because it says “biodynamic” any better than another? Let’s break down the basics behind the buzzword....

Squash is typically divided into two categories: summer and winter squash. Summer squash has thin, edible skin with soft seeds, and its flesh is tender with a high water content. It cooks quickly and has a mild flavor, even a buttery texture. The most popular varieties are crookneck, pattypan, and zucchini, although you might see eight-ball squash and zephyr throughout the summer at greenmarkets. Zucchini, both green and yellow, are available year-round at the grocery store, but like all other varieties of summer squash, it’s best from early to late summer....

If you’re after something that will make you feel absolutely invincible in the kitchen, we’ve finally found it: the cooking jumpsuit. Jumpsuits, rompers, overalls, and the like have been on the rise for the last several years. They’re a one-stop shop, super cute and comfy, and let you wear pants without waistbands—obviously, we’re all in. And thanks to their utilitarian nature, it makes sense that they’d end up in the kitchen....

To buy: $6 (was $7); amazon.com. Proving you don’t need to shell out tons of cash for an effective finishing powder, Coty’s low-cost, finely milled formula doesn’t skimp on quality and is often compared to higher-end brands by reviewers. According to the brand, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and dark spots with a smooth, velvety finish. The versatile Airspun powder can be used as a setting powder, foundation, and for baking the under-eye area....

I called the credit card company, and they agreed that I wasn’t responsible for the charges. I thought that cleared the matter up—but it didn’t. The identity thief managed to change my address, email, and phone number before one more legitimate purchase (a pair of pants for my husband) made its way into the billing cycle. Because I don’t typically use store-specific credit cards, I never used the card again—so I wasn’t expecting any additional bills, and didn’t think it was odd that I didn’t get any....
