Let’s face it, mornings (especially Mondays) can suck…but they don’t have to. There are ways to improve how you start your day, no matter if you rise at 4:30 or 11:30. While some of the following suggestions might not be for everyone (I, for one, am certainly not getting under a cold shower ever, let…
Since MagicKitchen.com started in 2005, we felt having customers sign a subscription with us to receive meals was not appropriate and it is up to the individual product taste, texture, etc. that would bring the customers back for more of our product, not a contract. We have always accepted single orders and always will ….
Spring is the season of rejuvenation, renewal and rebooting (yes, there is a theme in this post that I’m sure you’ve recognized). I often consider spring to be similar to New Year’s Day in this regard. The snow and cold have retreated, for the most part, there’s more hours of daylight and you’ve started to,…
Sure, we all feel unfocused or suffer a memory lapse (nice way to say “we forget stuff”) every so often, but if this is happening with more and more frequency, you might have a nonmedical condition known as brain fog.

There are times when the stress response is required as it helps us in times of, well, stress. For example, when faced with a person who…
The war in Ukraine, two years of COVID, $5.00 gas, out of control inflation, the very existence of Vladimir Putin, a completely polarized America…there’s really not that much to laugh about out there right now. And that’s exactly why it’s necessary to find reasons to laugh, no matter how depressing the world around us looks….
We know, National Frozen Food Month might not matter much to you, but to us here at MagicKitchen.com, it’s kind of a big deal. After all, frozen food is what we do here, in fact, it’s all we do here and we do it well. Over the years, we’ve perfected our craft of acquiring the…
Here’s your word of the day: sarcopenia. In non-medical English, sarcopenia translates into age-related muscle loss and we all begin to suffer from it somewhere around age 35. More bad news; the further we move on from 35, sarcopenia increases, especially after the age of 75. However, while we can’t totally avoid sarcopenia, we can…
Should it actually be called World Kidneys Day since we have two? Just a thought. Anyway, World Kidney Day was created for the same reason other special “days” were created, to raise awareness about the things in the title of that day, in this case, your kidneys and, more specifically, chronic kidney disease.
