This year, I discovered a new hobby: digging up vintage recipes and testing them to see if old school dishes can still shine today. Recently, I came across a magazine clipping from March 1934 featuring a “Cream Snap” cookie that puts Crisco in the spotlight. While this cookie find feels vintage, Crisco has an even longer history. The company, founded in 1911, introduced the product as a cheaper alternative to animal fat. Even today, it remains a kitchen staple, adding richness to recipes like flour tortillas, tender biscuits, and pie crusts. With the holidays in full swing and countless cookie…

Dynagenix from PLT Health Solutions brings Boswellia to beverages with water solubility, neutral taste, and clinically effective doses of just 40-60mg. New research shows joint health improvements in 5 days and faster post-workout recovery. Boswellia serrata extracts have delivered joint health benefits for years, but they’ve been limited to capsules and tablets. The reason? Traditional Boswellia is completely insoluble in water, tastes bitter, and requires doses of 100-250mg or higher.
