These two delicious morning meals have many similarities: they are both super yummy and filling, have many ingredients in common, and can be paired with a range of different toppings. It’s often hard to pick which one to have as your first meal of the day! And although these two breakfast favorites may be close cousins, there are some key differences between waffles and pancakes – including their flavor, texture, and how they’re prepared....
Preparation Eucalyptus makes a beautiful addition to floral arrangements and works as a stand-alone plant, too, thanks to its striking blue-green, coin-shaped leaves. But the greenery is more than just a decorative piece: The fragrant scent that fresh eucalyptus gives off has aromatherapeutic properties that make it as beneficial as it is eye-catching. This is especially true when you hang a fresh bunch of eucalyptus in the shower. Studies have associated the inhalation of eucalyptus with reduced stress, decreased pain, lowered blood pressure, and relief from respiratory and sinus issues....
It seems like even if you just use the mint as a garnish, you still get a bit of its flavor as long as you put it in the drink. An aromatic sprig of mint is also quite festive in most cocktails.

Oatmeal: Some people love it; others hate it. However, I’m a firm believer that more people would jump on the bandwagon if they knew how to maximize the flavor with toppings. Oatmeal doesn’t have to be this plain, boring sludge in a bowl. That doesn’t even sound appetizing! Now think of it as soft, sugar-sweetened oats drizzled with honey and topped with a mixture of fresh, seasonal berries. Sounds delicious, right?...

So, how can a pet parent determine whether or not this warrants a trip to the vet?...

This is a simple, delicious and chocolatey pound cake recipe… a dense cake with a chocolate ganache drizzled on top. I used my super cool Nordic Ware Bundt Pan for this recipe.

Preparation Noticing an excessive amount of hair loss is always worth a visit to your doctor. But if you are seeing slight hair shedding here and there, don’t fret—experts note that this is actually a standard part of human physiology. “The hair growth cycle has three main phases: anagen (growth), telogen (resting), and catagen (regression),” says Dr. Camille Howard-Verovic, DO, FAAD, a dermatologist and the founder of Girl+Hair. “The phase between anagen and telogen is called exogen; this is when your hair is actively shedding....
Preparation There’s a lot to love about nasturtium, an unfussy annual originally native to South America that blooms just about anywhere. Nasturtium comes in two primary types: trailing (Tropaeolum majus) and bush (Tropaeolum minus), explains Jon VanZile, a master gardener and author of Houseplants for a Healthy Home ($16.44, amazon.com). The best part? The most common versions of “nasturtium leaves and flowers are edible and make a lovely garnish,” shares Megh Wingenfeld, a home and garden creative who enjoys adding them into salads and butter....

“I don’t know whether people will think this is wacky or clever or just weirdly lazy.” This is the way I’ve been making chicken pot pie for midweek meals for as long as I can remember. It’s a “free form” pie, which means you bake the pastry separately from the filling, then to serve, you just pop it on top of the filling. The reality is, whenever I make a large pie to share and dish it onto plates, the pastry becomes a crumbled mess and the filling oozes out everywhere....
