8 Minutes Is All You Need For Poached Chicken in an Instant Pot
There's so much to love about the Instant Pot, including this technique for poaching chicken in less than 10 minutes. Poaching chicken over the stovetop usually takes around 20-30 minutes, so this is a significant time slasher.
Here's the method:
- Fill the Instant Pot a little less than 2/3 full with boneless, skinless chicken. Cover with chicken broth. Add a few cloves of garlic, a few bay leaves, or a sprig of thyme (optional). Do not allow the liquid to exceed the 2/3-full mark. Close the lid as the manual instructs, making sure the pressure release handle is secured in the sealed position.
- Press the [Manual] button and use the [+] or [-] buttons to choose 8 minutes of cook time. Once the Instant Pot has finished the cook time, unplug it. Use the "Quick Release" method of opening the cooker by carefully turning the pressure release handle to the "venting" position to let out steam until the float valve drops down. Carefully open the lid.
- Remove chicken breasts and place on a cutting board. Shred using two forks or in a stand-up mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Return the chicken to the broth and use as a soup base or keep chicken and broth separated, reserving them for other uses.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Dog Has a Name, and It's Fit For a King
We recently found out that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle adopted a Labrador Retriever last month, and now we finally know his name! According to People, the couple's new furry addition is named Oz. It's unclear what the inspiration behind his name was, but People notes that a famous poem by Percy Shelley titled "Ozymandias" is about an Egyptian ruler who calls himself the "king of kings." It could also be a nod to Harry's upcoming Invictus Games, which will be taking place in Sydney, Australia, in October. Oz has reportedly joined Meghan and Harry at their country home in Cotswolds and at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.
Meghan and Harry are both dog-lovers. The royal has shared several adorable moments with dogs over the years; in fact, Harry even broke protocol once when he cuddled with one at the 2015 Royal Variety Performance. Meghan, on the other hand, previously had two rescue dogs, Guy and Bogart, but had to leave behind Bogart when she moved to London because he was reportedly too old to fly. Hopefully Oz makes his first royal appearance soon!

We Stopped Using Credit Cards, and It's Not as Easy as You'd Think
In the United States, it is reported that the average family has over $8,000 in credit card debt. That's over $1 trillion, and that number is steadily climbing. Credit cards have become a way of life for many people; some rely on them for emergencies and various unexpected expenses, while others use them to buy things that they just can't afford. Still others default to credit cards in hopes of racking up sky miles or other enticing rewards.
That's the trap into which we fell.
My husband and I each have a credit card through a bank with a generous rewards program. The points pile up quickly, and the amount of points needed for various rewards is reasonable. So we figured we might as well use the cards, especially for large purchases, and pay them off in full each month. And that worked. For a while. The problem was, we would lose track of just how much we charged each month. And instead of the $500 bill we were expecting, there would be an $800 bill. Eventually, all of the money we hadn't expected to spend - all of the money we couldn't see - had added up into the thousands. So whatever rewards the credit card company was giving us, it was making back (and then some) in interest.
It became obvious that this method wasn't working for us, as we were clearly the losers here. We decided to pay them off and stop using them altogether. It wasn't easy, but we haven't looked back since. Here are five things I learned along the way that may help if you're also considering breaking up with your plastic.

This Canadian Wedding Is Equal Parts Understated Elegance and Outrageous Fun
Don't let the sparkling lake and lush orchard setting fool you - Annie and John's wedding may look like a stunningly simple outdoor big day, but the details perfectly capture the quirky-fun nature of the Mr. and Mrs. After all, we're talking about a couple who for Valentine's Day dressed up in formalwear (fascinator and top hat included) and went on a progressive dinner to all the hot fast-food joints in town. John even included a photoshopped still from The Bachelor in his proposal. So, naturally, their wedding would include full-size cardboard cutouts of themselves in extravagant '80s weddingwear, a ginormous candy bar complete with their most embarrassing childhood photos blown up on sticks, and a postceremony, prereception pit stop at A&W.
Besides the fun factor, the wedding was really a family (and friends) affair. Not only did the ceremony take place at a family member's private residence in Kelowna, British Columbia, but Annie's mom, Cecelia, and aunt, Julie, did a lot of the planning, with Annie's dad coming in at crunch time with the week-of to-do lists. Loved ones all came together in every way they could to make the day what it was, and it was clear that Annie and John's supportive community was a focus for them in their day. In fact, I love what they used as their guiding "theme" (inspired by The Broke-Ass Bride's Wedding Guide by Dana LaRue):
- Treat our guests as community and not an audience.
- Let our wedding tell our story (past, present, future).
- Create an atmosphere - so people remember they had fun.
- Fun is free.
- We want lots of laughter.
- Short speeches - more social.
- "Go big or go home" - decide what we can do well (within our budget).
So how did they pull it off? To start, they kept the speeches to a minimum by including as much information as they could in their program. The personalized, 12-page, photo-filled program included the order of ceremony, who was in the wedding party, fun facts about the couple, a list of out-of-town guests, a long list of thank yous, and special thank-you letters to their parents. To keep their sanity on the day of, Annie and John had their own private dinner at A&W, which they called their "best decision ever." They had 20 minutes to themselves (which on most people's wedding day is unheard of), where they could fuel up before spending the entire time at the reception mingling and socializing with their guests instead of stuck at a table. They were able to stick to their budget by enlisting the help of friends and family and by focusing on their top priorities: the candy buffet and the photos. Their main "decor" were the printed fatheads, posters, signs, and cardboard cutouts at the reception, which could all be used as props in the photo booth. Double duty!

Suspiria Hasn't Even Been Released Yet, but the Chances of a Sequel Are Very High
Excitement is already ramping up in earnest for one of the Fall's most unsettling movies, Suspiria. The remake of the iconic 1977 film already has a lot going for it: so far, we've borne witness to an unsettling mélange of photos, more than one creepy trailer, and even a vague promise of a postcredits scene. But among all the gripping details pertaining to the new spine-chiller, one is particularly exciting: this may only be the first of three installments.
In a recent interview with Deadline, director Luca Guadagnino explained that he already had planned on making a sequel. In fact, the original title of the remake would've hinted at exactly that. Originally, Guadagnino was planning on using Suspiria: Part One as the name. After all, the original was part of a series as well. The former project was called "The Three Mothers" trilogy, which also includes 1980's Inferno and 2007's The Mother of Tears. Ultimately, the director lopped off the "Part One" for a pretty understandable reason. "We didn't want to give the impression of something that couldn't stand alone," he said.
All things considered, it sounds like the trilogy has been the plan all along. The fact that the remake was nearly called Suspiria: Part One means that Guadagnino not only envisioned his updated take as a series, but perhaps even discussed it with Amazon. But don't take it from us! "Truthfully, I'd be interested to explore the origin of Madame Blanc and Helena Markos and also the future of Suzy Bannion in the world. So maybe," Guadagnino told Deadline. "We'll have to see how the movie goes." Suspiria hits theaters Oct. 26.

Meghan Markle's Power Suit Is All Kinds of Sexy and Sophisticated
Meghan Markle pushed pause on Suits when she joined the Royal family, but she's back to her regularly scheduled programming as far as fashion is concerned, turning heads on Tuesday in an Altuzarra blazer. Following her appearance at last week's Hamilton fundraiser, Meghan joined Prince Harry for the WellChild Awards in a look that's right up her alley.
She skipped the dress, opting instead for slim trousers and a Deitas silk tank to complement her chic suiting. True to form, she kept her hair in a low, nonchalant bun, and added a Stella McCartney clutch and black pumps to finish things off. Suffice it to say, Meghan just aced another royal outing in a style that feels entirely her own.
This $23 Cardigan Is Going Viral on Amazon
When something is getting traction on Amazon, you need to pay attention. That's why our jaws dropped when we saw that this Nenona V-Neck Button-Down Cardigan Sweater ($23) is up 2,661 percent in sales.
Customers are giving the cardigan overwhelmingly positive reviews. The cute snap buttons and thick material make it an excellent purchase. Plus, it comes in 16 different colors: black, red, blue, green, gray, brown, and purple.
"It's not often that I find clothes on Amazon that I love, but I love this cardigan!" one customer wrote. "I wear it with flats, I wear it with my brown tall boots, I even wear it with my work slacks. It is a nice quality, not super thin like I've gotten before, and nice thicker banding on the arms and bottom."
This sweater is the perfect Fall piece; it's incredibly versatile and will keep you cozy. We suggest buying it while you can - with so much popularity it's bound to sell out in the blink of an eye.

Hello, Fall! Meet the Highest-Rated Leather Jacket at Nordstrom
I love leather jackets. They're so versatile; you can wear them seamlessly with jeans and a t-shirt or a flirty dress, they keep you warm, and they always look good. Always. This season, I'm in the market for a new jacket, and I'm kind of obsessed with this AllSaints Balfern Leather Biker Jacket ($498). The brand is known for its supersoft, comfortable leather. Plus, I can't get enough of the zippered sleeves or faux belt detail.
I think it's the perfect mix of tough and fashionable, and evidently, other customers agree, as it's the top-rated leather jacket at Nordstrom. One of the many rave reviewers says, "I have had it for 2 years and it still looks amazing, will last me for years! It's super soft and all around perfect. Worth the splurge!"

But, we found the product that will bring a smile to your child's face come mealtime, and help spark your creativity along the way. The Bentgo Childrens Lunch Box ($28) is so adorable, it's no surprise that this is the bestselling lunchbox on Amazon.

Plus, leak-proof technology keeps lunches mess-free.
The other amazing thing about this lunchbox is that it's made of BPA-free materials, and a portion of all proceeds go to Feed the Children, a nonprofit that focuses on addressing and alleviating childhood hunger. The tray is microwave-safe, and the entire lunchbox can be thrown in the dishwasher. This lunchbox is so functional and adorable, you'll want an extra for yourself to keep your own lunches organized and healthy.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Make Another Equally Gorgeous Appearance at the WellChild Awards
Summer is over and it's back to work for the British royal family! After making an appearance at a performance of Hamilton last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continued to support the work of good causes as they attended the WellChild Awards in London on Tuesday. Meghan glowed in an all-black ensemble, while Harry looked handsome in a blue suit.
Harry is patron of the children's charity and has been attending events on their behalf over the last few years. At last year's awards, we saw him bond with the incredible children nominated for awards for bravery and courage, and the only difference this year was that he brought his new wife along for the ride.

We Tried Ariana Grande's Date-Night Cat Eye, and It Gave Us Wings
Ariana Grande and I might be the same age, but we don't have a lot in common. I can't sing if my life depended on it, have infinitely less money to my name, and will only wear a ponytail as a last resort. But one thing we do share is our love for a good cat eye - I even wrote about my winged-liner addiction here.
So I was excited to try out her most recent date-night look for my weekly Instagram series, Desktop Beauty. Grande was spotted out with fiancé Pete Davidson wearing a bold wing, burgundy lipstick, and space buns. I attempted to re-create her look with a few of my favorite products (minus the space buns). See how I did ahead, and be sure to follow POPSUGAR Beauty on Instagram for more celebrity-inspired looks.

This Is What You Should Be Eating at Each Meal to Lose Weight
A big part of eating well to lose weight is planning out your meals. Once you have an idea of what you will be eating at each meal, it's much easier to stay on track and resist temptation that will veer you off your healthy eating goals.
But if planning out each meal in advance sounds overwhelming, don't stress: registered dietitian Bari Stricoff told POPSUGAR what you should be eating at every meal to keep you blood sugar stable and help you lose weight. It's a simple formula, and you can use it to mix-and-match your favorite foods for a complete meal.
"When it comes to blood sugar regulation, the quality of meals compared to the number of meals is more important," she said. "Ensuring your meals have high-quality protein, plus whole grain carbohydrates [and] healthy fats will have positive effects on blood sugar."
So if you're craving avocado toast, make sure it's on 100 percent whole wheat bread and paired with an egg or smoked salmon for some protein. Instead of just a piece of fruit for a snack, eat it with a handful of nuts for a boost of protein and fat.
She also said fiber, which is found in whole grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables, is important to help slow the release of sugar in the blood. If you combine the fiber with protein and fats, it also helps delay the release of sugar in the blood. When your blood sugar is regulated, you are less likely to store fat. Plus, you will feel satiated and won't be tempted to snack between meals.
Of course, eating in a calorie deficit is key to losing weight. But whether you eat five small meals a day or three larger meals a day, as long as they contain high-quality protein, whole grain carbohydrates or another fiber-rich food, and healthy fats, your blood sugar will be stable. This will keep you on track and help keep your weight down.
