A hydrating and healthy fix for your sweet tooth, cantaloupe melons are also surprisingly nutritious. Cantaloupe is loaded with beta-carotene (vitamin A), which safeguards your eyesight, helps keep your mind sharp, and reduces inflammation. You can find cantaloupe in the grocery store year-round, but it's at its peak during the summer months into early fall. Rather than buying pre-cut fruit that's not always the freshest, we'll walk you through how to cut cantaloupe into slices or cubes at home. You'll need a large cutting board and a chef's knife.

The Instant Pot craze may have come and gone, but there are many loyal fans out there, like myself. We’re still pressure-cooking beans one day and slow-cooking dinner the next. The only difference now is we’re doing this on more advanced machines, with safer steam releases, customizable heat levels, and way more stylish Instant Pots. And while the Instant Pot options have been trimmed down over the last couple of years, it can still be overwhelming to decide which one to buy.

Crackers are one of my most favorite foods. I love the crispy texture and subdued taste that makes them the perfect carriers for everything from tuna salad to sliced cheese. Aside from classic cheese-style crackers, one of my favorites is the beloved round, buttery style. It’s somehow crispy, flakey, buttery, salty, and overall perfect for snacking. I have my go-to (heyyyy, Ritz), but I’m always looking for the next best thing. So when I was given the opportunity to try several brands to pick the most delicious, of course I said, “yeah, sure.”
