Our food calendar has two seasons: heirloom tomato season and then, sadly, the rest of the year. When heirloom tomatoes weigh down the tables at farmers’ markets and fill the bins at our neighborhood market, we get busy. Here are 12 heirloom tomato recipes we love to spend the hours of a summer day working with.
Stop off at the farmers’ market and get out the extra-virgin olive oil, good vinegar, and pristine sea salt because each of this salad’s ingredients has to be perfect. Get our Herbed Heirloom Tomato Sa…

The thymus is vital to a sustained and functional immune system. Thymocytes generated in the bone marrow migrate to the thymus, where a complex process of maturation and selection takes place, turning the thymocytes into T cells of the adaptive immune system. T cells must be capable of recognizing and reacting to pathogens and cancerous cells, without mistakenly attacking any of the normal systems of the body and its diverse cell population. That risk of self-immunity is the price of an adaptive immune system. The wide range of autoimmune conditions observed in the human population demonstrates th…

If you thought you’d need hard-to-get ingredients, specialized equipment, or a basement cave to make cheese in your own home, think again. In fact, you likely have all the needed supplies for homemade cheese on hand right now. You could be enjoying your own batch of fresh, fluffy ricotta within the hour. Remember how you spent a week cultivating sourdough starter? Right.
Michele Molier, instructor for Murray’s Cheese in New York City talks us through the process of making ricotta at home, beginning with a really inspiring take on why to do it: “It really refreshes my passion for cheese,” she says, “because it comes together so easily and beautifully.”

If there’s one fruit that evokes summer almost as much as watermelon, it’s pineapple. The fruit’s juicy flavor, prickly exterior, and tropical associations conjure up a beach filled with plenty of sunshine and surf. It’s taste is so immediately transportive that just one bite may have you feeling like you’re sunbathing on a private island.
If you’re anything like us, you can’t get enough of the stuff, especially if you can’t afford a trip to Hawaii. And one of our favorite ways to consume it is in drink form. Whether it’s just the juice or the pulp of the fruit itself, pineapple has the magical ability to elevate almost any spirit it’s added to. And believe it or not, its power extends far beyond&nb…

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ~Maya Angelou
Throughout my childhood experiences I did what every child does and rejected parts of myself. It makes sense because kids depend on adults for survival, so I was in no position to reject my parents. But as an adult I feel it is now my job to reclaim those parts of myself.
While I had two parents that loved me and what I’d describe as a normal childhood, nonetheless I became hyper-attuned to others, over-sensitive to criticism, and a perfectionist, particularly under stress. It led to all sorts of pain within relationships and, upon becoming parent, I could see I needed to address some things. I had little sense of self and had to learn about having and holding healthy boundaries.

For those who can’t get enough burpees and box jumps IRL, CrossFit has just entered the telehealth arena with its own healthcare service.
So does this mean seeing docs who can destroy WODs? Kind of. CrossFit Precision Care is basically a virtual primary care service created by CrossFit, telemedicine provider Wild Health, and Dr. Julie Foucher (a family medicine doc and former CrossFit Games competitor).

What could have happened in the home care industry didn’t. In 2012, based on interviews with the best and the brightest in and around the home care industry, an idea was born and documented. It was radical – the idea of a network for sharing relevant information across organizational boundaries about a home care recipient with stakeholders, family, health providers. In this vision, the care recipient was at the center of this information sharing across the stages and steps of living independently, senior housing, rehab, hospital, and home.
