Benefits of meal subscriptions

Meal kits have gained popularity primarily due to their exceptional convenience, streamlining the home cooking experience by delivering precisely measured ingredients alongside recipes. This trend saw a surge during the height of the pandemic driven by the desire to avoid crowded grocery stores and relish restaurant-quality meals from the comfort of home. Services like HelloFresh offer pre-made meals for people seeking a time-saving option.

Despite perceptions of higher costs, meal kits can indeed be a more economical choice compared to dining out or frequent takeout. Larger households can also benefit from bulk order discounts.

Additionally, they foster healthier eating habits through portion-controlled servings and emphasize the use of fresh, nutritious ingredients. Catering to specific dietary needs further enhances their appeal.

What’s the strongest coffee? How to compare taste, roasts, and caffeine content
The answer depends on how you define "strong"
coffee beans

I've wondered, "What's the strongest coffee?" many times, yet in a completely different scenario. Sometimes, I wonder what the strongest coffee is because I need a coffee loaded with caffeine to keep me awake on a long-haul flight. Other times, I'm sipping on a cup of coffee that's far too weak, leaving me to question what coffee I should order for a bolder taste. The meaning of the question of "what's the strongest coffee?" is up to interpretation, but I set out to find out the answer to every variation. Here's what to know about the strongest variation of coffee in every sense of the term.
What makes coffee strong?

On a technical level for coffee roasters, the strongest coffee can be defined as one with the highest dissolved solids, measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In layman's terms, the more dissolved coffee grounds in a cup of coffee, the stronger it is. While this is important for manufacturing coffee, this is unlikely to mean much to the average coffee drinker. You're more likely just want to know how to brew the strongest, boldest cup imaginable and how to get the energy boost you need (especially if you've built up a caffeine tolerance like me).

How to choose the healthiest beef: Grass-fed, grass-finished, or grain-fed
Differences in cooking, flavor, and more
ButcherBox doorstep

The terms "grass-fed" or "grass-finished" are often seen on beef packaging and labels -- but do you know what these terms truly mean? Choosing grass-fed or grass-finished beef over grain-fed beef offers exceptional health benefits due to higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other vitamins like vitamin E and vitamin A. However, there are quite a few other differences between grass-fed beef, grain-finished beef, and grain-fed beef that are worth noting.

To learn more, I chatted with Ashley Lonsdale, chef-in-residence of the meat subscription box, ButcherBox, to compare grass-fed vs. grass-finished vs. grain-fed beef.
