We brought home chicken and salmon family meals. Jena BrownBefore heading out to the store, I looked online to see what kind of family meals Whole Foods carries. We went to three Whole Foods locations to locate this dish but couldn't find it anywhere. When I came home and input my ZIP code into Whole Foods' website, I learned the dish isn't available at stores in my area. Regardless, we left Whole Foods with three promising-looking options: salmon, lemon-rosemary chicken, and chicken-scallopini meals.

Steamed lentils are a versatile protein option to be enjoyed hot or cold. Trader Joe's steamed lentils add protein to any dish. I love the Trader Joe's lentils because they're precooked and ready to eat with minimal seasoning. If you're in the mood for tacos, you can warm up the lentils with some seasoning to use as your "meat." I also add cold lentils to a salad to keep myself full and satisfied throughout the day.

I've been following the Mediterranean diet for years, and I've learned a lot of simple recipes. I take a minimalist approach to my diet and often only use a few ingredients in my meals. I've discovered a love for orange, avocado, and shrimp saladI wasn't initially convinced that orange, mustard, and shrimp went together. I've concocted a Mediterranean version of a make-your-own pizzaIf you have an at-home dinner date coming up, make some puff-pastry pizza together. I've only recently discovered tofu, and I've been enjoying adding it to salads and grain bowls for a protein boost.

AdvertisementI don't miss red meat at allI used to eat a lot of red meat. That was one of the near-instantaneous benefits I noticed when I started following a Mediterranean diet. Fortunately, it's really easy to make budget-friendly swaps and still stick to a Mediterranean diet. There isn't just one Mediterranean dietI think one of the biggest misconceptions I had about the Mediterranean diet before I started following it was that it was pretty limited. Although a Mediterranean diet can be Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian, it's also Turkish, Lebanese, Israeli, and Moroccan.

☆ Pink Floyd, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and Me

Muted tk tkLike other band members have done consistently over the years, Waters denied that Pink Floyd intentionally structured its 1973 album to align with the 1939 film. Before my article, “The Dark Side of the Rainbow” was just a word-of-mouth thing on an early internet message board. I mostly listened to alternative rock in those days, but Pink Floyd’s Usenet group had a hold on me. I shared that page on the Usenet group and added it to a Pink Floyd “Web ring” — a system in which people with related pages linked to one another. The article page was logging hundreds, then thousands, and eventually tens of thousands of visitors.

☆ Healthy breakfast ideas: Start your day with these quick meals
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Casey Barber | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Because of the versatility and hands-off aspect of the preparation, these are some of my favorite breakfast options for road trip vacations and camping adventures — but they work for busy at-home mornings, too. Overnight oats are one of the most versatile breakfast options out there — and can easily be taken on the road or enjoyed at home. NelliSyr/iStockphoto/Getty ImagesTartines, AKA open-faced sandwiches — or as I like to call them, “things on toast” — comprise a catchall category of breakfast options that can skew savory or sweet. When I have a few minutes and am feeling famished, my go-to move is to grab eggs and tortillas for breakfast tacos or burritos. Eggs and tortillas pair well in the morning to make breakfast tacos or burritos.

☆ Plant-based salmon startup capitalizes on rising interest in fake seafood
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

While the plant-based burger wars have been waging for several years now, plant-based fish is just in its infancy. As demand for seafood alternatives grows, so too do names like Plantish, Sophie's Kitchen, Gardein, Good Catch and Toronto-based startup New School Foods, which specializes in plant-based salmon. But unlike most plant-based meat products, which are precooked, ground and often formed into patties or nuggets, this is whole and raw. He noted that unlike fake meat, which is usually more expensive than the real thing, fake fish could be cheaper for consumers since the cost of real fish has skyrocketed. In addition to Lever VC, New School Foods is backed by Blue Horizon, Hatch, Good Startup, Alwyn Capital and Joyance Partners.

In other words, I agree with the many customers who have dubbed this their favorite Trader Joe's snack.

☆ Crist to DeSantis: Will you run for president? Florida governor refuses to say in caustic debate

“You’re running for governor,” Crist said, looking at DeSantis as the governor looked forward. “It’s not a tough question,” Crist said, filling the dead air. When Crist blamed DeSantis for rising utility bills and the skyrocketing cost of hurricane insurance, DeSantis faulted Crist for supporting Biden’s policies amid rising inflation. Time and again Monday night, Crist returned to the issue of DeSantis’ looming decision about whether he would run for president in 2024. It wasn’t the only question DeSantis wouldn’t answer.
