​Drop that knife... ...and tell me if this sounds familiar. ​When I was young, I always wanted to cut the crusts of my sandwiches off. Among kids, this is not an uncommon preference. Inevitably, as I would run the butter knife along the edges of my peanut butter and jelly, Mom would protest. ​“Don’t cut off that crust - that’s where the vitamins are!” ​To me... this sound​ed very superstitious, so I wouldn’t pay her any mind. ​Here’s the...

I won’t deny that at the first sign of a cold snap, I pick up the holy trinity of campfire goodness: chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Naturally, it’s all “for the kids,” but it would be rude not to partake when we are all sitting around the toasty fire, right? If you find yourself making excuses for the melty, crunchy goodness that is a fireside s’more, fret no more. As it turns out, sitting by the fire has been proven to reduce...
