Then come the weekend temperatures are still expected to stay in range of the low to mid 80s for the afternoon highs.

Learn about some different brands of ice cream you can buy to cool you off on a hot summer day. There are several brands of ice cream that you can find on a national scale, brands like Breyers and Dreyer's/Edy's and more premium brands such as Ben & Jerry's and Häagen-Dazs. When it comes to quality without being too expensive, I think Tillamook is the top choice. Kroger stores have it on sale every so often, making it an affordable option. If you are a chocolate fan, you will enjoy their chocolate collection that includes Brownie Batter, Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Hazelnut or German Chocolate Cake.

The Microwave Baked Potato Trick That Gets Dinner on the Table Before the Oven Even Heats Up

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

The Egg Storage Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes Without Realizing

There's a good chance you're storing your eggs wrong right now, and it has nothing to do with how fresh they were when you bought them. Most people focus on picking good eggs at the store and stop there.

This Backyard Weed Heals Cuts Faster Than Neosporin

If you've got plantain growing in your yard, you're basically sitting on a first aid kit and don't even know it. It's one of those "weeds" most people pull and toss without a second thought, but it's actually one of the best skin healing herbs out there. I started using it on scrapes and cuts a few years ago and never looked back. 😊

Someone Poured Root Beer Into Baked Beans—and the Cookout Side Dish Got Seriously Interesting

Sweet, smoky baked beans get an unexpected upgrade from root beer, which brings deep caramel notes and a little old-fashioned soda-shop sweetness to the sauce. As the beans bake, everything turns thick, glossy, and bubbling, with savory seasoning balancing the sweetness and crisp-edged bacon adding smoky richness if you pile it in. The result is familiar enough to belong beside burgers and barbecue, but different enough to make people stop after the first spoonful and wonder what gives the sauce that extra depth. It is sticky, saucy, sweet-savory comfort food with just enough surprise to keep the serving spoon moving.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

7 Odd-Sounding Dishes That People Actually Keep Making

Some food names do the dish no favors. Snickers salad, pickle soup, pretzel Jello salad. None of these sound like something you would put on a party table and expect people to eat. And yet these are the dishes that disappear first, the ones people ask about, the ones that get written on index cards and tucked into coat pockets before the party is officially over.

Creamy Taco Chicken Bowls Pack Protein and Crunch

Blended cottage cheese creates an unexpectedly smooth foundation for these hearty taco chicken bowls. Once combined with taco seasoning, shredded chicken, tomatoes, corn, and black beans, it becomes creamy and savory without overwhelming the familiar Tex-Mex flavors. Melted cheddar contributes richness, while crushed tortilla chips add the irresistible seasoned crunch that makes the bowls feel like comfort food. The result is filling and protein-packed but less heavy than many cheese-sauce-based casseroles, giving busy cooks another clever way to turn cooked chicken into an entirely new dinner.
