The new crop of Gala apples is about to hit stores. Here is what you need to know before you buy them this season. Gala apples are originally from New Zealand. They are a cross between a Golden Delicious and the lesser-known Kidd's Orange Red apple. They eventually made their way to the United States, where they have become a year-round apple in our grocery stores.

This Stops Bug Bite Itching Almost Instantly—No Benadryl Needed

Between camping trips and just playing outside all summer, bug bites are a constant battle in our house. I got so tired of reaching for Benadryl cream every time someone got bit, so I started making my own salve instead, and now it's the first thing I grab. It works fast, it's gentle enough for the whole family, and I know exactly what's in it. 😊

Before You Buy Ice Cream, Here Are 5 Brands Worth Knowing About

Learn about some different brands of ice cream you can buy to cool you off on a hot summer day. There are several brands of ice cream that you can find on a national scale, brands like Breyers and Dreyer's/Edy's and more premium brands such as Ben & Jerry's and Häagen-Dazs. When it comes to quality without being too expensive, I think Tillamook is the top choice. Kroger stores have it on sale every so often, making it an affordable option. If you are a chocolate fan, you will enjoy their chocolate collection that includes Brownie Batter, Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Hazelnut or German Chocolate Cake.

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.
