New professional baseball league for women debuts this week

New exhibit at Sports Legends Museum

The new league brings together top female talent for professional play across multiple cities.

Full Story on NBot

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert. Every spoonful is cool, creamy, fruity, and packed with crisp cookie pieces that soften just enough without disappearing completely. The citrus keeps the mixture bright, the pudding makes it velvety, and those chocolate-striped cookies turn an ordinary bowl of fruit into the one dish everyone recognizes from church suppers and family reunions. It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.

5 Mistakes People Make When Buying Ground Beef

Learn about some of the mistakes people make when buying ground beef so that you don't repeat them yourself. 1. Buying Ground Beef Without Looking at the Fat Ratio. It is super important when you are buying any type of ground beef that you look at the fat ratio. Sure, you really could interchange any type of ground beef; however, the final results of your dish can vary a lot. If you make burgers using really lean ground beef, it is going to be hard for you to cook the burgers and have them still be juicy.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

Contractor Took $40,000 for Home Repairs... Then Allegedly Built a Baseball Card Collection Instead!

You know, when you hire a contractor, you have certain expectations. Maybe they’ll show up a little late. Maybe they’ll disappear for three days because they’re "waiting on materials." Maybe they'll spend half the day leaning against a truck discussing the weather with another guy who's also apparently on an extended coffee break.

I stopped boiling green beans after making them this way

For years I boiled green beans until they went soft and a little sad. Then I tried them the Southern way, cooked down with bacon and onions, and I have not gone back since. This is the green bean recipe that turns a plain side dish into something people actually ask about at dinner. The bacon grease does all the work, giving the beans a smoky richness that boiling water never could.

The Habit That Keeps My Shower Cleaner Longer

Cleaning the shower used to be one of those chores I'd put off for as long as possible. Soap scum would slowly build up, water spots would appear on the glass, and before I knew it, I was spending way more time scrubbing than I wanted to.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

This is the pork chop dinner that wins over pork chop haters

If pork chops have let you down before, a caramelized pecan and honey glaze might just change your mind. An overnight buttermilk marinade is the real secret here, tenderizing the meat before it ever touches a skillet. Combined with a hint of cayenne and a sticky honey glaze studded with pecans, these chops turn out juicy with caramelized edges instead of the dry, chewy result pork chops usually get blamed for.
