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.

This Fall Weed Makes a Coffee Alternative

That stubborn dandelion in your lawn has a secret. Its long taproot, when roasted, turns dark and nutty and brews into a warm, earthy, caffeine-free drink that tastes surprisingly coffee-like. Fall is a great time to dig them up. 😊

The Little Lemon Cakes That Somehow Disappear Faster Than Cupcakes

There’s something dangerous about a dessert small enough to eat in two bites. These lemon drop cakes are soft, moist, and packed with bright citrus flavor, with just enough sweetness to keep you reaching for another before you’ve officially decided you’re having seconds. Instead of a big slice of cake and a fork, you get tender little bites with that sunny lemon flavor running through them—the kind of treat that looks innocent piled on a serving plate until you notice half the batch has vanished. They’re light enough for coffee or brunch but sweet enough to hold their own on a dessert table.

The frosting you'll want on every cake this holiday season

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.

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 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.

What I Learned About Costco Beef By Reading the Packages

Sharing anything I can learn about Costco beef from just reading the labels. A lot of people are asking questions these days about where beef is being sourced from. It can be hard to track down where every steak is coming from. There are no requirements to label beef with the country of origin. According to PBS News, requirements were removed by Congress in 2016 in response to being ruled against by the World Trade Organization (WTO). They authorized Canada and Mexico to begin economic retaliation against the United States. This is when the requirement was removed.

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.

The Dinner Mama Made When One Pound of Hamburger Had to Feed Everybody

Mama’s goulash is the kind of supper that never needed expensive ingredients to fill a table. Ground beef, tender pasta, and a rich tomatoey sauce come together in one hearty pot, with every noodle catching that savory beef flavor as it cooks. It’s saucy, comforting, and wonderfully unfussy—the sort of meal that could stretch a package of hamburger without making anyone feel like dinner was being stretched. When that pot starts bubbling and the kitchen fills with the smell of tomatoes, beef, and seasonings, it’s easy to understand why so many families have their own version tucked into an old recipe box.
