WHAT IS CREATINE AND WHAT CAN IT DO?
Creatine is an organic acid-similar to an amino acid, which makes up protein. Our bodies produce creatine; it's also found in animal-based foods, like red meat and seafood, as well as in supplements. Creatine is most commonly sold as a powder (which you can mix into water or sprinkle over food), but it can also be taken as a pill.
In combination with weight training, adding creatine to your diet or taking it as a supplement has been shown in study after study to improve muscle mass and strength.

DEAD SIMPLE DESSERT
The Gift of Good Wine
The thought behind the selection counts for way more than what's in the bottle.
Just Roll With It
I AM DEEPLY OPPOSED TO DESSERTS that are fussy in preparation or decoration and lacking in taste payoff. But a yule log, also known as a bûche de Noël, is as spectacular to eat as it is to look at. This airy, cream-stuffed sponge cake is hands-down my favourite holiday dessert. (Ask anyone who has ever been to my house in December!) A glossy ganache bark, a handful of sugared cranberries and a few sprigs of rosemary make this seasonal stunner look like it came from a fancy bakery, but it's actually totally doable at home.
