Healthyish at Bon Appétit

I got even deeper into the food world at Healthyish, a vertical from Bon Appétit. As well as writing my own pieces, I worked with food editors on as-told-to recipe write-ups, assisted the photo editor in managing shoots and editorial schedules, built every article on the CMS, and ran the social media. It was constant inspiration to cook and to eat.

Claire Fitzsimmons Is the Sexual Wellness Guide We Didn’t Know We Needed

In the world of wellness, there’s a bit of an illusion when it comes to sex. Everyone and their mother is glowing, doing tantric yoga, and looking “accidentally” cute with their S.O. in matching, sustainably made leisurewear—but is anyone talking about, uh, the sex itself? Claire Fitzsimmons is. The bright, brash voice of Salty cuts through the millennial pink clouds of other sex and dating sites.

5 Products That Make Traveling Way More Chill

You’ve got your Raden luggage, your boarding pass on your phone, and your TSA guidelines memorized. If you’re lucky, you’re in the pre-check line. But travel can exhaust even the most jetset-iest jet-setters, and there are precious vacation hours at stake here. These items are worth more than extra leg-room: They’ll give you just a little more calm, a little more space, and a little more style whether you’re in the air or stuck on one of those dreaded four-hour layovers.

I Hated Buckwheat Groats With a Passion Until I Tried Them Like This

Mark my words. In the next two to four years, every yoga-taking, chia-smoothie-slurping, ashwagandha-sprinkling Healthyish reader will be all about buckwheat groats. Sure, buckwheat flour is a thing you find in soba noodles as well as certain types of crêpes, and it’s popular among the gluten-free crowd. But I’m talking about buckwheat groats on their own, un-ground, not as a garnish, but as the main event.

What to Cook Now That Whole Foods Groceries Are Cheaper

Yes, we were excited too when we heard the news that e-commerce giant Amazon had purchased Whole Foods for $13.7 billion this summer. But we’re even more excited now that the first signs of change are upon us. We know what we’re cooking this week: anything and everything with these newly discounted ingredients.

I'm In Love With My Ex-Boyfriend's Water Filter

My ex and I had very different understandings of “healthyish.” I’ve been known to order “The Trucker’s Breakfast” at brunch when he went for “The Naturalist.” While he veered dangerously close to veganism, I once got three types of meat on a single burger (in case you’re wondering, they were bison, bacon, and brisket). When we broke up after three and a half years, I missed his harem pants and the lessons on lucid dreaming, but what I missed the most—what I still miss—is his water.

This Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Recipe Takes 15 Minutes and Is So Satisfying

Allow me to set the scene: It’s Friday night, the last week in August, and the heat is getting to you. You feel guilty canceling plans, but you just can’t handle the thought of fighting 30 sweaty people in a bar just to get an over-priced cocktail and an elbow in the ribs. Who needs friends? is what you're thinking. But if you're going to drink alone, you should probably also eat.
