But preparing a bowl of nourishing oatmeal for breakfast can take some effort. So with the rise of instant oatmeal cups, we simply had to put them to the test. Oatmeal cups are super convenient: They stash well in the pantry for mornings on the go, in the car, or even at your desk, and they’re portable, too. The best part is that there is no microwave needed. Just hot water and a couple of minutes can make a great travel meal....

This recipe features orecchiette [oh-reck-ee-ET-tay], a distinctive type of pasta that originates from the heel of Italy’s boot. Its name means “little ears”, which gives you a hint as to this pasta’s shape. But if your pantry (or grocer) is orecchiette-free, pasta of any shape makes an adequate substitute. At no extra charge, here’s a smart kitchen trick to cut down on dishes: Rather than cook the broccoli separately, throw it in boiling water with the pasta during the final minute of cooking time, so the vegetable’s perfectly crisp-tender, and the pasta’s al dente....

I have acne-prone, oily combination skin, which means my T-zone is oily, while the lower half of my face is very dry (dare I say, even flaky). Oil-infused formulas may seem redundant and frowned upon for oily skin types, but the opposite is true. “Oil is attracted to oil so it can balance the skin and work as a moisturizer,” explained esthetician Taylor Worden to Real Simple. Makeup is also removed more swiftly with oil-based products....

The elements of this dish comingle beautifully during cooking. While the squash and sage are roasting, we seared the chops in a sauté pan, and then finished them in the oven with the squash on the same baking sheet. In the meantime, we sautéed kale in the pan with the pork renderings, incorporating those delicious little brown bits. Related Video
