It's the eve of the day I start writing my next cookbook. Apparently for me, this major transition calls for a pair of bright red Danskos and some delicious roasted chicken (read on for the recipe!)

There have been a few times I thought I might die while running, but I didn’t think it might literally take years off my life. A new study argues running might not be as healthy as we think

If your schedule bounces around like lotto balls (do this, do that, now this, then that), it's time to refocus on what's important: meaningful connections. Here's my 3-pronged approach to build more

Cured bacon mini BLTs, oysters with spinach, asiago cheese, brandy, and garlic, chicken pot pie... I've got the rundown on Stars (after giving them the requisite time to open up and settle in)

How do you feel about Black Friday starting early... as in, before the turkey's even properly digested? Check out the healthy, heated debate that ensued right here on whether you oughta take part

Beer is, at its heart, a social drink, is it not? So pull up a stool and meet your brewer—here's a quick list of South Carolina (mostly Charleston) breweries that offer tours. Go! Shake their hands...

I scouted out local talent Sarah Boyts Yoder's latest collection at the Michael Mitchell Gallery—in it I happily found a hairdo à la Georgia O'Keeffe, baby britches, and color and crosses aplenty

Are you just going to stick with the same old routine, same rules, same boundaries? Just imagine what you could do if you kicked away your comfort zone (one small nudge at a time...)

I took my six-year-old son to see a local performance of Shrek: The Musical last night—here are the hilarious highlights, including mention of CofCer John Kresse. See the final show today at 2 p.m.

I know, I know, those sourdough starters can be about as welcome as a chain letter. Unless it's been molded, kneaded, shaped, baked into a cake, and given to you by a true friend

3 gooey cheeses + truffle oil + macaroni= delish. Here's the recipe you've gotta serve on Thursday, or any old day when you need a good dose of comfort food

A trip to The Pour House to see one of my current favorites (The Royal Tinfoil) yielded the bonus of discovering another (The Whiskey Gentry)

Sometimes healing comes from the most unexpected places with the most unexpected people. Mine came from the pool at MUSC and lots of wise folks who've seen more, done more, endured more than I have

What are good bloggers made of? With Jane adding another BOTW honor to her stack, Grit editors dish on what makes blogs like hers hit (aspiring bloggers, you want to read this...)

Do you know which holiday your cactus likes to celebrate? Read on for the tools you need to decide if you should buy it some cranberry sauce, garland, or jelly beans

Sound(wo)men. Hate 'em or love 'em, the people who work the knobs at your gig can control your fate. Here I explain how, and give examples of what NOT to ask them (e.g. Hey man, where's the bathroom?)

I can't resist that old-team draw of the Brooklyn Nets. Here's my take on $16 million Deron, lazy Joe Johnson, jail-ball-playing Wallace, and why no serious athlete should date a Kardashian

How to get out of your comfy, workaday routine and into one that's better for the WHOLE you—you know, the one that has hobbies, enjoys people, and is generally more productive

Now that the election's over, I need to reveal myself—to come out of the political closet. I'm an elephonktarian. Feel free to use to the term to describe yourself, too, should you feel so inclined

Sure, that extra hour of sleep last weekend was great. But with the end of daylight savings has come the end of my evening runs. In their place: the dreaded early-a.m. workout. Here's how I'm coping
