Allow me to let you in on a little secret: a Caesar salad recipe is only as good as its dressing. Indeed, nailing the dish—one that tastes just as good as your go-to order at your favorite restaurant—is all about prepping the perfect homemade Caesar dressing. The creamy, tangy, umami-rich sauce is the ideal complement to the crisp lettuce and crunchy croutons. When done well, it’s divine. When done poorly, it ruins everything—whether or not the salad options in the airport kiosk looked less gnarly today....

Matcha is a form of powdered tea. Traditional matcha is made by drying, then crushing young, supple tea leaves to form a light, airy green powder. That powder is dissolved in warm water and whisked until frothy. It’s meant to be sipped, not gulped, like some steeped teas, but it’s a bit of an acquired taste. Because you’re consuming the tea leaves themselves, and not just infused water, matcha presents more health benefits compared to steeped tea....

The use of stacked layers in vertical farming (picture a wall of greens instead of a floor covered with ’em) allows farmers and even at-home gardeners to produce more food on the same amount of land. In fact, since decades of traditional farming has significantly damaged the soil in some locations, farmers and others are integrating these vertical layers into buildings (including skyscrapers, warehouses, and even shipping containers) as well as other spaces that would be otherwise unfit for farming....

What Is Renters Insurance? Simply put, renters insurance (sometimes called tenant insurance) is an insurance policy you pay for to help cover you and your belongings in the event of an incident, including anything from fire to theft. Usually your landlord’s insurance will cover repairs to the property itself—say, if there’s a leaking ceiling—but will not protect your own belongings (the TV and rug that were damaged because of the leak) or the cost of having to live elsewhere if you need to move out during repairs....

While it’s nearly impossible to know how many Americans have a trust fund at any given moment, according to an April 2022 report, 67 percent of Americans have no estate plan at all. That means neither a will nor a trust. Historical data on inheritances suggests that back in 2010 only 21 percent of American households transferred wealth—presumably from one generation to the next. Furthermore, data shows that not all millionaires got their money from a rich relative....

According to an announcement from the FDA, individuals who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. While there have been no reports of illness or injury due to the consumption of these items to date, Conagra Brands recommends that consumers who have purchased any of these products dispose of them immediately.

But that doesn’t mean you should give up on SPF! After much trial and error, I discovered that it is possible to protect dark skin with sunscreen without looking like a dirty chalkboard. First and foremost, take a look at the ingredients list. “It’s better to avoid sunscreen with too much zinc because it can leave a white residue on darker skin that gives off an ashy appearance,” says Juliette Bartijn, esthetician and spa manager of Okeanos Spa....

The cover of Bloom’s new book makes me so happy with its Sweet Valley High cover vibes. Bloom has given us a hilarious book of essays, poems, and so much more, detailing what her life was like as a “weird kid.” Discussing her mental health (she was diagnosed with OCD and depression), her love of Disney, and her hit television show, Bloom leaves nothing untold, and we are grateful for it....

“Besides increasing the value of a property, great curb appeal is a wonderful way to welcome one home,” says Eduardo Rodriguez, founder and owner of DSGNER, and the designer of the front porch and patio of the 2021 Real Simple Home. “It also gives a sneak peek of what to expect inside.” No one wants to make a bad first impression, but if the lead-up to the front door is the design equivalent of “nice to meet you,” some of your home exterior’s details may be doing just that....
