2 min read

March 26, 2019 at 03:43AM by CWC If dunking chicken nuggets in pools of ketchup is an image that instantly transports you back to your childhood—same. But just because you’ve grown up doesn’t mean you have to leave that simple pleasure in the past. Enter: these gluten-free chicken fingers, created by Jessica Alba and Jennifer Gardner’s nutritionist Kelly LeVeque from the brand new Well+Good Cookbook, available for preorder now. Coated in crunchy chia and flax seeds, the recipe adds a dose of healthy fats and fiber to your childhood fave. And they’re super delish in a way adults like. (Well+Good co-founder Melisse Gelula ate many a chicken finger at the cookbook photoshoot, as proof.) Coated in crunchy chia and flax seeds, the recipe adds a dose of healthy fats and fiber to your childhood fave. The low-inflammation dish is a natural energy booster, says Leveque. And you can find more healthy (and easy and affordable!) recipes like it in The Well+Good Cookbook, which hits shelves on April 16. It has the go-to recipes of 100 wellness luminaries in it, and each recipe is labeled by wellness benefit (like if it’s good for better energy, better skin, better digestion, and more). Pair this throwback with avocado hummus (LeVeque’s preferred serving method), toss it with a salad, or throw it on top of a grain bowl for that just-right balance between healthy eats and comfort food. Watch the video for step-by-step instructions on how to make these super-tasty healthy, chicken fingers at

Pour the wine, light the fire, and talk about money—yes, money—for your next date night

6 min read

March 26, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC Let’s say you’re enjoying a cozy night in with your partner, eating your favorite takeout and sipping wine. You’re ready to spend the next hour curled up on the couch, talking about…money. (You were with me up until the end of that scenario, right?) For a lot of couples, money isn’t exactly a romantic topic. More than anything, it’s a touchy one, so touchy, in fact, that many never even broach it at all. According to a 2010 survey by American Express, only 43 percent of couples talk about money before getting married. Furthermore, the American Psychological Association’s 2014 Stress in America report found that 31 percent of people cite money as a major source of strain in their relationship. And even if you’re aware that communication is key for ensuring money doesn’t become a thing, knowing how to go about it is a whole other ball game. (You know, in a calm, non-judgmental manner—no matter how much your partner spends on vintage T-shirts.) That’s where money dates come into play. The Fiscal Femme founder Ashley Feinstein Gerstley says scheduling regular money parties, as she calls them, are smart for every partnership because it’s dedicated time to talk shop and deal with finances. Learn below exactly why you’d be wise and savvy to add them to your calendar, and how to make the most of the time. Money dates can make maintaining financial health feel more like a party than a chore—here’s how.

How do I prep for my co-worker’s maternity leave without excluding her before she’s gone?

7 min read

March 26, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC Your coworker just told you she’s having a baby, and you’re *so* happy for her—but that doesn’t mean you’re not terrified at the prospect of covering for her while she’s OOO for several weeks. In this week’s Good@Work column, all-around boss Amy Odell—whom you may know as the former editor (AKA HBIC) of Cosmopolitan.com and founding blogger of New York magazine’s The Cut—shares why preparing for your coworker going on maternity leave means advocating for your company to better support women in the workplace. Question: A woman on my team told me in January that she’s expecting a baby in the middle of the summer. That’s a few months away, but my brain immediately started thinking about what projects we have liability on if she leaves and where we can start filling gaps for her absence. How do you plan for someone on your team going on maternity leave without prematurely excluding them from career-progressing projects? Answer: Here’s what you need: money. It’s that simple. Go ask your boss for money. Paper. Moolah. Whatever you call it, not having budget for this very scenario is why you feel anxiety about someone on your team going through the excruciatingly normal thing that is birth. Unfortunately, most workplaces don’t want to invest in women, the majority of whom will become moms who need to return to work. Hence, women don’t receive adequate support from the Company (your bosses) or the Boss (you). But you need money not only to cover several months
