Because, really, need we say more?When Crazy, Stupid, Love came out, fans were ogling Ryan Gosling in all his tanned glory, but beyond the custom suits and the perfect abs, many viewers claimed that seeing Ryan Gosling down a slice of pizza while looking red-carpet ready was what sent them over the edge. Well, really anything Ryan Gosling does drives us over the edge, but that's another story for our teenage hormones.

There's something about seeing a guy put food away like it's nothing - it's so manly. And when that guy just happens to be one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood, it makes the visual that much more appealing.

Think about every Brad Pitt movie you've ever seen - he's always eating. Whether it's a plate of nachos, shrimp cocktail, or even a hot dog, apparently it's become a habit of directors to draw attention to his mouth, which we're totally fine with since it's just about perfect.

Grilling is supposed to be easy. You just heat up the grill and throw your food on there, right? Well, not exactly -- but truth be told, it isn't much more complicated than that. As summer approaches, don't let popular grilling "wisdom" overcomplicate the issue. Read on to find out which so-called tips you can definitely ignore.

1. DON'T: Skip the salt. You might have heard that salting meat before grilling will toughen it. Nope, it won't! In fact, season your meat about 30 minutes before you get grilling.

2. DON'T: Use lighter fluid to get the grill going. You'd be better off using a chimney starter-unless you like the taste of lighter fluid.

3. DON'T: Press hard on your burgers -- especially while they're cooking. Do this, and you'll watch the flavor and moisture drip right into the grill. Instead, place them on the grill and then leave them alone until they need to be flipped (which should only happen once!).

4. DON'T: Flip

If you’re in search of a great picnic dish, look no further. This recipe is summery and herby, while still hearty enough to fill you up. Wheat berries are an unusual grain: dense, chewy, and very nutty. That texture is a great vehicle for pillowy broiled zucchini and rich, creamy pine nuts. Mozzarella adds a nice saltiness (I recommend fresh) and pairs surprisingly well with dill. Just keep in mind that wheat berries can take almost 2 hours to cook, so plan ahead or substitute in another grain in a pinch. This salad tastes great at room temperature—partly what makes it an excellent picnic candidate—but the flavors get a little muddled over time. Just add some fresh dill and cheese to brighten up the dish before serving. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.

Wheat Berry Salad with Zucchini and Mozzarella

Makes: 4 servings

Time: 20 minutes with cooked grains

Assuming you have some kind of cooked grains in the fridge (always a good idea), this salad comes together quickly. Wheat berries are my first choice because of their unsurpassed chewiness, but even small grains like rice, cracked wheat, quinoa, and whole wheat couscous (or even cut pasta) work just fine. Roasted bell peppers are a tasty and colorful addition, especially ones that you make yourself. And if you’ve got roasted garlic handy, it’s a beautiful change from the raw garlic here.

1⁄4 cup pine nuts

3 or 4 medium zucchini (about 1 1⁄2 pounds), halved lengthwise

1⁄4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper

2 cups cooked wheat berries

1 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste

1⁄2 cup fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried

3 tablespoons sherry or white wine vinegar

1 cup cubed mozzarella, optional

1. Toast the pine nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove from the pan.

2. Turn

Greek yogurt cheesecake with berry topping

Purists won't want to call this a recipe for "cheesecake" since it doesn't contain any cream cheese at all. Instead, the main ingredient is healthy Greek yogurt, which is higher in protein and significantly lower in calories and fat. A slice of Junior's classic cheesecake is about 540 calories and 37 grams of fat, for instance. Our version is less than half the calories and contains only 10 grams of fat per serving.

It's also super easy to whip up. You don't need to mess with a water bath in the oven, and if you have a food processor, you can make both the crust and the filling in less than 20 minutes total (you can also use a blender and hand mixer).

Move over, almonds and walnuts, there's a new superstar nut in town! With the California pistachio industry making a big push to turn more Americans on to the wonders of the creamy, buttery, heart-healthy nut (even Snoop Lion is on board, as well as Psy); worldwide consumption of pistachios skyrocketing (with China now the leading importer); and chefs using pistachios in ever more ambitious ways, it seems this humble tree nut is enjoying its moment in the sun.
