Terri Peters is a journalist who loves mixing food, travel, theme parks, and parenting into her work. Her words have appeared in Business Insider, Allrecipes, and Travel + Leisure. With past gigs as Senior Editor at Yahoo Life and Contributing Editor at TODAY.com, she brings a blend of expertise and enthusiasm to her writing. She’s won awards for her writing and was the mind behind Deglazed, Yahoo Life’s celebrity food interview series.
Terri sometimes writes about her alcohol-free lifestyle and believes that everything is better sober. Her favorite part of being a journalist? Meeting people and telling their stories. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her enjoying her tiny Florida beach town or exploring Central Florida’s theme parks. Donald Duck is her Disney spirit animal, and she looks forward to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights all year. Among her great loves are her cats, reading, and eating potatoes in any form.
There’s a misconception that the frozen food aisle contains nothing but heat-and-eat pizzas and cartons of ice cream, but there are also plenty of healthy items in your grocer’s freezers.
In fact, because products like frozen fruits and vegetables are often harvested at peak ripeness, you’ll often find lots of nutrients tucked away in the frozen foods aisle, too. We’ve long been fans of products like frozen cherries, spinach and edamame, so the latest study findings from the American Frozen Foods Institute make sense to us.
I remember the good old days when everything at Dollar Tree really did cost $1.
In recent years, the chain has raised prices to as much as $1.50 per item, and added a selection of premium merchandise that costs even more — just as much as chains like Five Below or Dollar General.
There’s something incredibly comforting about a delicious bowl of stew. And, whether it’s a silky bowl of Guingambó Guisado, a Puerto Rican okra stew, or a simple dish of Asopao de Gandules, the meal provides even more coziness when it's a recipe that’s been handed down through generations or passed from friend to friend. Case in point: Bridgertonstar Yerin Ha’s go-to comfort food, a classic Korean stew she has fond memories of her mother cooking.
It’s a popular question that gets asked in plenty of celebrity interviews: If you knew you were about to eat your last meal on Earth, what would it be? For some, it’s an extravagant steak dinner with all the fixings, while others think of simple pleasures like the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The answer can tell a lot about a person, from easy things like their favorite food to deeper information about how they grew up.
While promoting the film Wuthering Heights, Australian actor Margot Robbie appeared on the Table Manners podcast, where she chatted with hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware about everything from her favorite pasta dish (spaghetti bolognese) to the creative way her family made nachos growing up (Doritos topped with baked beans and cheese, warmed in the oven). And, of course, Robbie was faced with the all-important question of exactly what her “last supper” would be.
If you’ve been tuning in to the Winter Olympics for a while, you’re probably familiar with speed skater Apolo Ohno and ski racer Julia Mancuso. Both Team USA alums have plenty of experience using workouts and nutrition as training tools, and they’ve got the medals to prove it.
But once your time competing in the Winter Olympic Games is over, how does your daily diet change? EatingWell chatted with Ohno, 43, and Mancuso, 41, to find out.
Starting the day with a high protein breakfast is a great way to set yourself up for success, and the trendy macronutrient is showing up everywhere from homemade smoothies to new lattes at Dunkin' and Starbucks.
What’s more, the traditional breakfast foods, like crispy bacon or scrambled eggs, pack a ton of protein. Now, a new line of frozen meals is headed to grocery stores, making it easier than ever to grab a hearty, protein-packed breakfast on your way out the door in the morning.
When my kids were little, we embraced the magic of Santa Claus. Christmas morning meant lots of presents to unwrap, some from mom and dad, and plenty from Santa. Still, we valued giving our kids experiences, as well. When grandparents and other relatives asked for holiday gift ideas for our kids, we'd always suggest things like a membership to our local zoo or movie theater gift certificates — gifts that would provide us with time together as a family instead of sending more stuff into our house.
As a new mom trying to work, parent and still maintain my sense of self, I joined a book club. One of our first reads was Julia Child’s My Life in France, and while I couldn’t uproot my life and move to Europe to pursue a love of cooking with a 1-year-old, I lived vicariously through Child’s stories of learning to cook and discovering a love of food. Later, I read Julie and Julia, a book about one writer’s attempt to cook her way through Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I was among the first in line to see the 2009 movie version of Julie Powell’s novel and can still remember the day I found my own vintage copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking at a thrift store, complete with handwritten, dated notes in the margin from a woman who cooked from it in the ’60s.
It'd been a decade since my kids visited New York, but given their love of theater and big cities, it wasn't surprising when they recently started asking my husband and me to take them. My family relocated to Floridafrom Maryland about nine years ago, so trips to NYC aren't as easy as they were when we lived up north. Still, we began researching flights and hotels, and planning a long weekend with our now 15- and 17-year-old kids in the Big Apple.
Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights has been serving up high-quality scares for decades. The fright-inducing Halloween event opened its 34th season on August 29 and just keeps getting better. Case in point: this year’s haunted house lineup, which includes scary walkthrough experiences based on popular intellectual properties like Prime Video’s Fallout TV series, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and one of this writer’s favorite horror movie franchises, Damien Leone’s Terrifier.
