I’ve cooked enough Christmas dinners over the years to know that brining your meat can make all the difference, helping turkey stay well-seasoned, juicy and full of flavour.Traditional turkey recipes advise basting a turkey to keep the moisture in. While basting can have good results, it’s not guaranteed to stop your turkey drying out and you can end up with slightly soft, streaky skin.

2) Avoiding added sugars is smart — but may be tricky with school-aged kids The new guidelines recommend kids consume no added sugars until age 10, whereas the prior guidelines suggested kids not eat anything with added sugar until age 2. There’s plenty of evidence that consuming added sugars can be harmful, especially for children, and especially while forming their dietary preferences, Patel said, adding that she appreciates the recommendation. “Much of my research has focused on getting kids to drink water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages, which are a major source of added sugars in children’s diets,” Patel said. “We’ve…
