Two varieties of Grace canned chicken sausages sold in five states are the subject of a federal public health alert -- and shoppers are being urged to check their pantries. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert on October 6 after discovering that the products were illegally imported from Jamaica, which is not eligible to export meat or poultry products to the United States.

I Checked Walmart's Beef to See Where It Comes From - Here's What I Found

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.

I Remember These Disappearing Before the Real Food Came Out

Some party foods don’t need fancy bread, tiny skewers, or a complicated presentation to empty the tray. Ritz Party Sandwiches have that old-school snack-table magic: buttery, crisp crackers turned into little savory sandwiches that are just the right size to grab while walking past. They’re crunchy, rich, salty, and dangerously easy to eat because one never feels like enough to count. Put out a plate before everyone arrives and you may find yourself “testing” several before the doorbell even rings. There’s a reason simple little appetizers like this survived so many family parties.

The Cookie Jar Favorite That Deserves a Comeback

Butterscotch used to show up everywhere—pudding cups, hard candies, church-supper desserts, and cookie tins—and these soft chewies are a good reminder of why. They bake up with tender centers, lightly golden edges, and pockets of butterscotch chips that turn melty and almost caramel-like while they’re warm. That deep brown-sugar flavor makes them taste a little more old-fashioned than the usual chocolate chip cookie, in the best possible way. Pour a glass of milk or make some coffee and suddenly you’ve got the kind of simple homemade treat that feels like it could have come straight from a well-used family recipe box.

I Didn’t Miss the Crust

I expected Pizza Bowls to feel like pizza with the best part removed. Then the sauce started bubbling, the cheese melted into everything, and those familiar pizza toppings got hot and crispy around the edges. Suddenly the missing crust wasn’t much of a problem. You still get the saucy, cheesy, pepperoni-loaded satisfaction of pizza night, only everything gets scooped straight from the bowl. It’s low-carb comfort food that doesn’t spend the whole meal reminding you what you gave up.

This Herb Was Used for Anxiety Attacks Before Xanax Existed

Passionflower has been used as a folk remedy for anxiety for generations, long before Xanax or other prescription options existed. What's interesting is that it's been studied directly against a prescription anti-anxiety medication, with some promising results. I keep it on hand for days when anxiety feels like it's creeping up. 😊

The Breakfast Meat People Love to Hate Until It Hits a Hot Skillet

SPAM gets plenty of jokes, but slice it thin and let it sizzle until the edges turn browned and crisp, and suddenly the conversation changes. Tuck those salty, savory slices into a breakfast sandwich with eggs, melty cheese, and toasted bread, and you’ve got the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full past the first cup of coffee. The best part is the contrast: crisp-edged SPAM against a soft egg, gooey cheese, and warm bread catching all those savory flavors. It’s inexpensive, unapologetically old-school, and much more satisfying than grabbing another packaged breakfast on the way out the door.

I Was Skeptical Until I Cut the First Slice

Chicken meatloaf sounds like the sensible choice right up until garlic and Parmesan get involved. Then things change fast. This version bakes into a juicy, savory loaf with a golden exterior and plenty of cheesy, garlicky flavor running through every slice. It has the comfort of the meatloaf you grew up with, but without feeling like you’ve eaten the same dinner a hundred times. And that first warm slice? That’s the moment the ground chicken starts making a lot more sense.

The Cookie I’d Still Pick Over Anything From a Fancy Bakery

Peanut butter cookies never needed frosting, fillings, or a dozen trendy ingredients to earn a place on the cookie plate. Give me the old-fashioned kind with those familiar fork marks across the top, crisp golden edges, and a soft center that still has a little chew when you break one open. The peanut butter does all the work, filling the kitchen with that warm, nutty smell before the pan even leaves the oven. They’re simple in exactly the right way—the kind of cookie that brings back school lunches, after-school snacks, and the old cookie jar that somehow never stayed full for long.

This Custard Pie Magically Forms Its Own Crust

Magic crust custard pie earns its name by accomplishing something that feels almost impossible: a simple batter separates as it bakes, creating a delicate crust and creamy custard center without rolling or fitting pastry dough. The top becomes lightly golden while the inside stays soft, smooth, and gently sweet. Nutmeg or vanilla gives the filling its familiar old-fashioned aroma, and the thin crust provides just enough structure to hold a clean slice. It is an ideal dessert for anyone who loves homemade pie but would happily skip the most intimidating part of preparing one.

If you're going to spend the holidays baking, you might as well have one frosting recipe you can count on for everything. This one comes together with just four ingredients and five minutes of mixing, no candy thermometer, no cooking on the stove. It's rich, tangy, and holds its shape well enough to pipe onto cupcakes or spread thick over a layer cake.

The One Crispy Apple I'm Choosing Over Honeycrisp Right Now

Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!

Mississippi Mud Potatoes Are the Side Dish Everyone Devours

Mississippi Mud Potatoes coat tender diced potatoes in a creamy mixture of cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream. As the casserole bakes, the sauce melts around every potato and the top develops bubbling, golden patches. Bacon can bring smoky crunch, while onions or green onions add savory freshness. The finished dish is rich, cheesy, and substantial enough to challenge the main course for attention.
