Showers, t’storms, snow and temps from the 70s to the 20s…all coming March 19!

By Andy McCray,

2025-03-18

Mother nature sure throws us some curveballs during the spring! Especially in the month of March it seems.

Wednesday will be a wild weather day with showers and a few isolated t’storms during the first half of the day. Then it dries out temporarily as a dry slot gets pulled into this big storm.

But the wild weather doesn’t stop there! As colder air gets pulled in on the backside of the storm, temps fall from around 70° to the upper 20s by Thursday morning.

And with a secondary surge of moisture, we’ll see up to an inch of snow later Wednesday night!

It could be worse though – severe storms are possible near Chicago while a Blizzard Warning is in effect on the other side of Iowa!

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

Granny’s Million Dollar Pie Is the No-Bake Dessert Everyone Remembers

Granny’s Million Dollar Pie is cool, creamy, fruity, and filled with the kind of familiar flavors that turn a simple dessert into a family tradition. Sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice form the rich base, while crushed pineapple, coconut, and chopped pecans add brightness, chew, and crunch. Whipped topping makes the filling light and airy before it is divided between two graham cracker crusts. There is no baking required; the pies simply chill until firm enough to slice, making this an exceptionally easy dessert when the oven is already occupied.

Scratch-Made Biscuits Bake Up Tall, Buttery, and Beautifully Flaky

Warm homemade biscuits have a way of making even a simple breakfast feel special. This version uses flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, milk, egg, and plenty of very cold butter to create tender interiors and distinct flaky layers. Small pieces of butter remain throughout the dough and release steam in the hot oven, giving the biscuits their lift and delicate texture. The outside turns golden while the middle stays pillowy and soft, ready to soak up melted butter, honey, jam, or a generous spoonful of sausage gravy.

Pineapple Coconut Pound Cake Puts a Tropical Twist on a Beloved Classic

This pineapple coconut pound cake brings sunshine to the dessert table with a dense, buttery crumb and plenty of tropical flavor. Crushed pineapple adds sweetness and moisture, shredded coconut provides a delicate chew, and sour cream helps the cake remain tender long after it leaves the oven. Vanilla and coconut extracts deepen the flavor without overpowering the fruit. Once the Bundt cake has cooled, a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and reserved pineapple juice runs over the top, settling into the ridges and adding a bright, sweet finish.

Skillet-Fried Cornbread Delivers Crispy Southern Comfort Fast

Spoonfuls of cornmeal batter fry in a hot skillet until their exteriors become deeply golden and crisp while the centers remain tender and moist. Buttermilk, egg, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar create a thick batter that cooks much like a small pancake. Depending on where they are served, these comforting rounds may be called fried cornbread, hoecakes, Johnny cakes, or cornmeal fritters, but their ability to complete a Southern meal remains the same.

Taco Cupcakes Are the Crispy, Cheesy Party Bite Nobody Can Resist

Taco night gets a playful makeover with these crispy little Taco Cupcakes, and they may be even more tempting than the original. Wonton wrappers are pressed into a muffin pan and layered with seasoned ground beef, cheddar, Monterey Jack, and another crunchy wrapper for extra structure. As they bake, the edges become golden and crisp while the cheese melts into every corner. You get everything people love about loaded tacos—savory beef, gooey cheese, and a satisfying crunch—in a compact bite that stays neat enough to eat with one hand. They look impressive arranged on a platter, but the straightforward assembly makes them surprisingly manageable for busy weeknights and last-minute gatherings.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

The graduate circulated with an envelope in each hand. The adults stood over the tables and ate.
