They have arrived - Hermiston watermelons from Oregon are now in stores in the Pacific Northwest. Learn how to pick out the best one this season. Hermiston, Oregon has a desert climate, which has hot days and cool nights, making it great for watermelon growing. It also has sandy, volcanic soil. What makes it possible to grow watermelons in a dry climate is the nearby Columbia River that provides irrigation for the watermelon crop. All of these conditions help produce sweet, flavorful watermelons.

I Made This Amish Country Casserole Once—Now Busy Nights Feel More Manageable

Tender egg noodles, savory ground beef, sweet onions, and a rich tomato cream sauce bake together under a bubbling layer of cheese in the kind of casserole that knows exactly how to feed a hungry family. The noodles soak up every bit of the seasoned sauce, the beef adds hearty comfort, and the golden top brings those crisp-edged, melty bites everyone reaches for first. It tastes like something pulled from an old church cookbook—simple ingredients, generous portions, and no need for anything fancy. Warm, saucy, cheesy, and deeply satisfying, this is the sort of dinner that makes the whole kitchen feel calmer once the pan comes out of the oven.
