Before You Buy Grapes, Here are 5 Things to Know

Before you head to the store to buy grapes again, here are 5 things that will be helpful to know. Besides the type of grape, this is the first thing I look at when shopping for grapes in the store. The freshest grapes in the grocery store are going to be ones where the stem is still green and is flexible. As the grapes age, the stem will lose its color and turn dark brown or black and become rigid. While the grapes may look and taste great, they won't last very long at that point so if you do buy them, eat them up quickly.

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

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. 😊

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.

The One Mistake People Make When Bringing Home Tomatoes

Let me share why putting your tomatoes directly into the fridge when you bring them home might be a mistake. Years ago I learned from Alton Brown that putting tomatoes in the fridge was a no-no. The reason being that the flavor of the tomato will forever be changed once they have gone below a certain temperature. Alton says that.

I Mixed A Can Of This Frozen Drink In My Crockpot Chicken And It Was A Potluck Hit

Slow cooker lemonade chicken is seared chicken breasts simmered in a sweet and tangy sauce made with lemonade concentrate, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until tender with a glossy glaze. It's the kind of recipe that works just as well packed into lunch containers as it does served fresh for dinner, since the sauce holds up and the chicken stays tender after a few days in the fridge.

ender cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables, and savory broth come together in a bowl that feels fresh, hearty, and far more comforting than “diet food” usually gets credit for.
