When we’re trying to lose weight, it’s common to feel like it’s all or nothing—maybe some of you feel like you need to be eating steamed broccoli with a poached chicken breast for dinner each night to reach your health goals, but that’s just not the case. While a super restrictive diet might work short-term, they set us up to fail because they’re impossible to maintain. Plus, food should be enjoyed—not serve as a means of punishment or to make us feel guilty for gaining weight or developing some other sort of health condition....

Something about a sparkling, glowing fir in the corner of the living room always brings cozy vibes. And those cozy vibes make me want comfort food, so this week I’m leaning into roasted vegetables. Think Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, tender leeks and woodsy mushrooms. These hearty vegetable-centric dishes fit the mood, and they’re just what I need at this time of year to make sure I’m getting lots ofvitamins and nutrientsto help support my immune system during this hectic season....

Some states and municipalities have moved to enact food waste bans in landfills and offer robust commercial programs that make it really easy for individuals to start doing it themselves....
