By Sean Kennedy,

11 hours ago

After temperatures have been holding below average throughout most of the week, they are holding that trend for next week.

The big Quad Cities Marathon will kick off tomorrow morning with temperatures in the upper 50s with a small chance of rain before clearing out and reaching near the 70s by the afternoon.

As we look ahead to next week temperatures will continue to hold onto below normal levels in the low to mid 70s.

With rain chances expected for most of next week as well, it will not be long before temperatures drop back into the 60s.

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.

Viral "Old Person Smell Soap" Is Trending on Social Media. What's the Deal?

If your feed has suddenly started telling you to buy persimmon soap for "old person smell," you are seeing a real scientific observation turned into a much bigger sales pitch. Persimmon soap is a cleansing bar made with extract from the fruit. Social media listings promote it as a way to tackle "nonenal" and age-related body odor. The pitch can sound alarming, especially when it suggests that everyone past 40 has a smell they cannot detect or wash away. Here's what the research actually says.

Church Supper Spaghetti Is Made to Feed a Hungry Crowd

Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti is the generous, low-maintenance dinner to make when one small skillet simply will not be enough. Ground beef or Italian sausage is combined with onion, garlic, pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and broth inside the slow cooker. Broken spaghetti cooks directly in the flavorful sauce, absorbing the seasoned liquid rather than requiring a separate pot of boiling water. The final dish is saucy, hearty, and easy to keep warm for guests. Mozzarella or Parmesan can be added near the end, turning the top into a creamy, melted layer that makes each serving even more comforting.

What Happens When Baby Carrots Turn White? The “Blush” Usually Isn’t Mold

You open a bag of baby carrots and find a chalky white coating on the orange surface. It can look alarming, especially if the carrots were bright orange when you bought them. In most cases, though, that pale film is "white blush," a change in the carrot's surface rather than a sign of mold.

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.

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.

Crispy Beef Chimichangas Bring Cantina Crunch Without Deep Frying

Beef and Cheese Chimichangas wrap taco-seasoned meat, cheddar, and Monterey Jack inside flour tortillas before baking them to a golden finish. Ground beef cooks with onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and water until deeply flavorful, then the melted cheese binds the filling inside each folded tortilla. Brushing the exterior with butter or oil helps it blister and crisp in the oven, producing the satisfying shell of a restaurant chimichanga without requiring a deep fryer. The center stays hot, savory, and gooey while the outside becomes sturdy enough to pick up.
