And when it comes to indulging oneself, nostalgia seems to be at the top of the menu. Comfort foods are comforting for a reason and [The New York Times]( is reporting an uptick in sales of shelf-stable goodies from our youth like SpaghettiOs and Cheerios (we clearly like o-shaped foods). Where once there was a superfood smoothie now lies a pint of ice cream, and that's okay. "We are relaxing some of the rules during this stressful time just to get through it," says Connie Huynh, an organizer with People's Action in Pasadena, CA. But there's another reason you're reaching for these delightfully processed flavors. [Sales of Kraft Mac & Cheese]( are soaring and we have a feeling it's because most people are still cooking at the college level, us included. Enough of the Blue Box blues. Mac and cheese lovers, prepare to step up your game because restaurants are whipping up the creamy dish from scratch right in your neighborhood. If you're in LA, San Francisco, or Portland, you have to check out [MAC'D](. From truffle oil to Hot Cheetos, they're creating the kind of mac and cheese that you won't find at the supermarket. And if you're in New York, push that can of Campbell's Tomato Soup to the back of the shelf because the [Cheese Grille]( has a Spicy Tomato Soup that will put it to shame. We recommend ordering it up with their Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese to truly return to your childhood. Chicken Wings Drums, Flats, or Neither? They say you learn something new every day, and today we learned that chicken wings are a seasonal food. Take that, [Thanksgiving turkey](. With March Madness cancelled (along with sports in general), the desire to hunker down around a basket of Buffalo battered wings has slowed considerably. According to [The Washington Post]( "We [now] have a giant national surplus of chicken wings," and it's driving down the price per pound. So wing fans—and people who just like an excuse to dip anything in ranch—now is your time to step up. Order a 12-piece from your favorite [local wing spot]( or keep yourself busy by making these oven-ready [Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings]( at home. No Gym? No Problem. Your Favorite Bottle of Wine is Now Your Trainer [featured] [via amandacapritto on GIPHY]( Working out while you're staying in might not be at the top of your to-do list. And if you're anything like us, you just found out that walking from the bed to the couch doesn't count as cardiovascular exercise. Gyms are empty and you can only get a rush out of livestreamed yoga so many times. That's why we love [this workout]( that uses objects that are already around your home. Grab an old paint can and put that wine bottle to work well before happy hour because exercising at home just got, dare we say it, fun? For some inspiration, we turn to the kings and queens of isolation: astronauts. Being up in space comes with all sorts of challenges, but they still manage to get a great cardiovascular workout thanks to custom built exercise equipment, as seen in this [video]( from Jessica Meir currently onboard the International Space Station. If they can exercise in space, you can do it in your living room. Delivery Deals Time to Eat Scrolling through The Post Up has been scientifically proven to make people hungry.
