And for new picklers, the best way to try it out is through refrigerator pickling. You don’t need a garden’s worth of vegetables or canning equipment – just pick a vegetable (or several), add spices and brine, and into the fridge it goes. Best eaten within a week or two, this method is your answer for quick and fresh pickled fare. 1.

Healthy breakfasts can get real boring, especially when rotating between cereal and eggs, as we frequently do in my household. When eggs are too much effort (hey, lazy happens), it’s cereal day after day. And not the fun kind of cereal, either; I stock up on fiber rich brown flakes that while healthy, don’t exactly stir excitement. Enter avocado toast.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can cause persistent cognitive changes. These cognitive changes may be due to changes in neural communication. Task‐switching is a cognitive control operation that may be susceptible to mTBI and is associated with oscillations in theta (4‐7 Hz), alpha (8‐13 Hz), and beta (14‐30 Hz) ranges. This study aimed to investigate oscillatory power in response to cues indicating a task‐switch after mTBI.
