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.

Remember the White Candy That Seemed to Appear in Every Grandma’s Christmas Tin?

Divinity is one of those old-fashioned candies that can instantly bring back a kitchen you haven’t stood in for years. Light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like, it’s nothing like dense fudge or chewy caramel. The outside sets with a delicate finish while the center stays soft and airy, with that unmistakable melt-away sweetness that made it a holiday candy-table favorite. It looks deceptively simple, but anyone who grew up watching a grandmother, aunt, or church-supper expert make a batch probably remembers there was a little technique involved. When it turns out right, those snowy spoonfuls look beautiful piled onto a platter—and somehow taste even better after you’ve spent years wondering why people stopped making them.

7 Foods Flight Attendants Wish You Wouldn't Take on the Plane

While bringing your own food through security is a smart way to dodge overpriced terminal meals, certain snacks make life miserable for your seatmates and the crew tasked with keeping the cabin orderly.

7 Dishes Families Cooked on Election Night in the 1960s and 70s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Election night in the 1960s and 70s was an event that ran for hours and sometimes past midnight. Families gathered around the television while Walter Cronkite on CBS or, through 1968, the Huntley-Brinkley team on NBC walked through the returns state by state, the electoral board filling in slowly as Eastern results came first and the West Coast tallies came late. The question of who had won could stay open until nearly one or two in the morning, and everybody stayed put.

7 Dishes Mothers Made When the Cousins Came to Stay for a Week

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When the cousins' station wagon rolled into the driveway with out-of-state plates and a backseat full of kids, the calendar shifted. Sleeping bags went down in the living room, extra chairs got pulled up to the table, and the mother of the house started counting how many mouths, how many nights, and what could stretch. These dishes were the answer. They fed eight when the usual table seated four, they held up to second helpings and third, and most of them could be started in the afternoon and ready by six.
