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 Herb Was Used for Anxiety Attacks Before Xanax Existed

Passionflower has been used as a folk remedy for anxiety for generations, long before Xanax or other prescription options existed. What's interesting is that it's been studied directly against a prescription anti-anxiety medication, with some promising results. I keep it on hand for days when anxiety feels like it's creeping up. 😊

The One Crispy Apple I'm Choosing Over Honeycrisp Right Now

Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!

Moose Farts Are the No-Bake Treat Everyone Talks About

Moose Farts get laughs from the name, but the flavor is what keeps people returning to the plate. These Canadian-inspired no-bake bites combine chocolate, coconut, graham crumbs, and creamy sweetness in a soft, rich little treat. Each ball is small enough to eat in a few bites but packed with enough texture and flavor to satisfy a serious dessert craving. Because there is no oven involved, they come together easily and remain a practical option when the kitchen is already busy or the weather is too warm for baking.

Skillet-Fried Cornbread Delivers Crispy Southern Comfort Fast

Spoonfuls of cornmeal batter fry in a hot skillet until their exteriors become deeply golden and crisp while the centers remain tender and moist. Buttermilk, egg, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar create a thick batter that cooks much like a small pancake. Depending on where they are served, these comforting rounds may be called fried cornbread, hoecakes, Johnny cakes, or cornmeal fritters, but their ability to complete a Southern meal remains the same.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Need No Oven to Impress

No-bake chocolate peanut butter bars combine a dense, sweet peanut butter layer with smooth chocolate topping and a graham cracker base. The filling has the rich flavor of a peanut butter cup but offers a more substantial, slightly crumbly bite. Chocolate sets into a firm yet tender layer across the top, creating a clean contrast in both color and flavor. Because the bars never enter the oven, they are especially appealing when the weather is warm or the oven is already occupied.
