Salads are a mainstay for keeping an eye on savvy svelteness, but we're not too keen on what we like to refer to as our "Mama's Lettuces." You know, iceberg, romaine, green leaf, red leaf bleeech. Call us fancy-pants, but we just can't get excited about the stuff. If you're feeling so-so about salads, it's time to turn over a new...
Entertaining on Labor Day shouldn't be so hard it feels like you're going into labor.

So, don't get to work savvies, get to rest! It's Labor Day!!!

We were intrigued enough by canning to research the process for this story, but a few trials and errors left us with a kitchen filled with boiling pots of water, tongs, canning supplies and minor burns on practically every surface of our fingers with the additional joy of potentially serving ourselves a nice portion of botulism in twelve months, should we...
Salmon has become a savvy staple at Savvy Central because while bearing a relatively low fat and calorie count, it’s super high in protein and omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Sometimes we set out to pack a lunch for ourselves and just plain come up short. Ideas? None, zip, zilch, bupkis. But thankfully in those moments, there's the big 'ol world wide web out there to lend us a hand. From our favorite foodies and the best noshing blogs around, we've come up with a Savvy Seven Links We Love. If you're in a lunch-packing rut, try...
Remember those packaged granola bars mom used to throw in your lunch box that you ate for many happy years before you were wise enough to know how many freaking calories were in those puppies? The fat! The sugar! The sodium! Oh my! While the "new granola bar"—the uber healthy older sister of our sugar-packed...
I was over 30 before I ever heard of the existence of zucchini flowers let alone tasted one, so I can empathize if some of you are wondering what the heck the yellow bloomy part is on the end of the otherwise totally recognizable veg known as zucchini. The bloomy part—a squash blossom or zucchini flower—is typically deemed inedible by American...

Over the last decade my absolute love for tea has gotten semi out of hand but I don’t mind. How could I when the health benefits are so incredible? Finally, I’ve succumbed to an addiction that’s good for me.
