Before you head to the store to buy grapes again, here are 5 things that will be helpful to know. Besides the type of grape, this is the first thing I look at when shopping for grapes in the store. The freshest grapes in the grocery store are going to be ones where the stem is still green and is flexible. As the grapes age, the stem will lose its color and turn dark brown or black and become rigid. While the grapes may look and taste great, they won't last very long at that point so if you do buy them, eat them up quickly.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Ground Beef

Before you head to the store to buy some ground beef, here are 5 things you may or may not already know about ground beef. 1. Ground Beef Can Be a Mix of Cut or a Single Cut. Unless the packaging tells you, you can't know for sure what parts of the cow the ground beef is coming from. A lot of the ground beef nowadays just tells you what fat percentage is, nowhere it came from. If you want it to be from one area of the cow, look for ground chuck, ground round, ground brisket, or ground sirloin. These are the most common to find.

The Steak Cut Most People Overlook (But It Can Be Surprisingly Tender)

Don't overlook the Chuck Eye steak when shopping for steaks at the grocery store. If cooked right, they can be tender with a ton of beefy flavor. To find the Chuck Eye on a cow you must go to the front of the animal, near the head. This part of the cow has a lot of flavor but the muscles do a lot of work so they can be tough.

I Stopped Using Crackers In My Meatloaf and Put In A Box Of This Instead

This meatloaf using stuffing mix rarely makes it to the fridge in one piece. Made with ground beef, boxed stuffing mix, and a sweet ketchup glaze, it comes together in one bowl and bakes in about an hour, the kind of meal that gets a second helping before the first plates are even cleared.

Denver drug users can have their substances analyzed before using them

The Harm Reduction Action Center announced in its July newsletter Monday that it now offers on-site, rapid drug testing so drug users know exactly what they’re ingesting. The city purchased the equipment for the drug testing. “We are thankful that the City purchased two FTIR drug checking machines over a year ago,” according to the emailed newsletter. “You'll also remember we have been advocating (read: talking shit) over the past year because those machines were sitting in boxes underneath a desk and not in use while we are in the midst of an overdose crisis.

Grandma Swore These Old-Fashioned Salmon Patties Could Feed a Family Better Than Fancy Fish Ever Cou

Golden, crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, these old-fashioned salmon patties are the kind of humble supper that turned pantry staples into something everyone looked forward to. Each patty fries up with beautifully crisp edges while the center stays moist, savory, and packed with rich salmon flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon or a dollop of tartar sauce makes every bite even brighter, but the real magic is how a handful of simple ingredients transforms into a meal that feels hearty, comforting, and deeply nostalgic. It's the kind of recipe that filled Grandma's skillet on busy weeknights and somehow disappeared before the last batch finished cooking.

I Brought Cookie Salad To One Potluck—Now Nobody Lets Me Bring Anything Else

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert. Every spoonful is cool, creamy, fruity, and packed with crisp cookie pieces that soften just enough without disappearing completely. The citrus keeps the mixture bright, the pudding makes it velvety, and those chocolate-striped cookies turn an ordinary bowl of fruit into the one dish everyone recognizes from church suppers and family reunions. It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Blueberries

When shopping for fresh blueberries there is one thing that I always look for before I put a container into my basket or cart. Right now is a great time to be buying blueberries in the store. We are in the peak blueberry season for much of the northern half of the country. That means the berries are cheaper and they are fresher.
