In partnership with

Early summer is showing up in full force this week — stone fruit, peak produce, and enough global range to keep things interesting all seven nights. The Plum Wine Salmon Napoleon is the kind of layered showpiece that looks like it came from a tasting menu, the Bouillabaisse brings Provençal bistro energy to your stovetop, and the Grilled Halloumi Salad with pickled strawberries is exactly what warm-weather cooking should look like. Rounding it out: Dan Dan Noodles, a Latin Bowl loaded with beef picadillo and street corn, Baja-style crispy cod, and a miso butter cacio e pepe that quietly earns best-in-show. Some of my faves:
Plum Wine Salmon Napoleon — salmon in plum wine over layers of sesame squash, roasted red pepper, avocado salsa, gingered sweet potatoes, and mango-peach purée. A proper project that pays off on the plate
Grilled Halloumi Salad — pickled strawberries, baby spinach, Marcona almonds, honey vinaigrette. Summer in a bowl, no oven required
Yellow Curry Ramen — coconut oil, yellow curry tare, marinated grilled chicken, prik nam pla, crispy wonton, lime. The broth situation here is not to be underestimated
The Post-Workout Recovery Secret You’re Sleeping On
You’ve dialed in your workouts, nutrition, and hydration. But if progress still feels slow, there’s one recovery factor often overlooked: sleep.
Muscles repair and rebuild while you sleep. Less sleep means less time to recover.
If getting enough rest is a challenge, CBDistillery offers targeted support your sleep solutions.
Their gummies and tinctures combine non-intoxicating CBD with CBN, a cannabinoid commonly used to promote better sleep.
In a 2021 CBDistillery study, participants reported sleeping longer on average after using CBD and CBN together.
