GRILLED CHICKEN
If you often end up
with chicken that’s
black outside but
pink inside:
• Start by cooking
over high (direct)
heat, just until
golden.

• Use an
instant-read thermometer (in the
thickest part of the
meat) to check internal temperature
(it should reach
165°F). No thermometer? Pierce
with a fork; if done,
juices will run
clear—not pink.

King’s Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, from the
makers of those addictively sweet rolls,
is great slathered on ribs, as a dip with
kebabs or thinned with olive oil and drizzled over greens and veggies as a salad
dressing. Comes in four flavors—we especially like Original Sweet Pineapple and
Smoked Bacon. ($5, grocery stores)
Chobani Meze Dips are yogurt-based and feature vegetables, herbs and spices in flavors like
Smoked Onion Parmesan and Chili
Lime. Beyond serving with pita
chips or pretzels, try them as

grilled chicken. ($4, available in

Cheese & Pepper Pasta (Cacio e Pepe)
With just four ingredients (which you probably already have in your pantry and fridge), this dish
is adored by Romans as much for its simplicity as its taste.
Cook 1 lb bucatini or spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving
¼ cup cooking water. In the pot the pasta was cooked in, stir together pasta water and 2 Tbsp
butter until butter melts. Stir in pasta. Toss with 1 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese and 2
tsp pepper. Serves 6

Q
Food Court Savvy
My daughter’s working in the mall for the summer. How can I help her
make smarter lunch choices at the food court?
GIVE AND TAKE Don’t ban the pizza, tacos and fried chicken. Instead, help her
know the calorie counts of different foods and encourage her to enjoy that cheeseburger
without fries or to skip the giant cookie on days she indulges in her favorite soft pretzel. Find calorie counts
and healthier options at popular fast-food restaurants at girlshealth.gov/nutrition/restaurants.
PAY FOR IT Swing by for a quick hello, and offer to treat her to a meal. Let her order what she wants, but
model healthy choices with your own selections.
OFFSET THE SPLURGE Dayana Kupisk, a blogger at myparenthetical.com, says, “Ask for help planning
meals at home. Talk about balance and ways to plan for meals outside the home. The focus on balance
reminds them they don’t have to be perfect, but can treat themselves in moderation.”

We’ve all had nights when we just can’t lie down in bed and
sleep, whether it’s from heartburn, cardiac problems, hip or
back aches – it could be a variety of reasons. Those are the
nights we’d give anything for a comfortable chair to sleep in,
one that reclines to exactly the right degree, raises feet and legs
to precisely the desired level, supports the head and shoulders
properly, operates easily even in the dead of night, and sends a
hopeful sleeper right off to dreamland.
