I’ve always been a toaster guy — when I moved in with my girlfriend, the first hill I chose to die on was keeping my old two-slot toaster, since I have two pieces of multigrain bread with eggs every morning for breakfast. However, I’ve never been a toaster oven guy, since I always thought my regular oven could handle whatever I needed to toast or roast. Over the years, my position on that softened (I also moved into an apartment with a comically small oven that takes forever to preheat), so I broke down and got an air fryer, which turned out to be a great addition to my kitchen. Recently, though, I had my mind changed again by a very special appliance from Panasonic: the FlashXpress Toaster Oven. It’s sleek, cool-looking, and seriously effective — plus, it has a few features that set it apart from the rest of the competition. (And, it’s on sale right now!)

I’m pretty sure I entered it years ago and never left. Growing up in a beach town will do that. You’ll find yourself wanting to buy anything that looks like it’s meant to exist in a cottage by the beach, like soft white quilts, linen pants, and gorgeous blue and white patterned dishes. So when I find something that will fit my forever aesthetic — especially at a discount retailer like HomeGoods — I have to get my hands on it ASAP. And the most recent collection of dishes has me running to stores.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

If you’ve got a new hot sauce/ice cream/cereal out there, I want to try it … yesterday. A new-to-me grocery always has that certain secret sauce, making for an easy cheat code to prevent my snacking/cooking/treating routine from getting stale. So I was beyond thrilled to taste my way through dozens of new groceries hitting stores this June to see which ones were the best of the bunch.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

Each troll serves as a unique tribute to the place they inhabit, honoring the history and culture of the location.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Cats of Kansas City

One might be wise to wait until after Independence Day to adopt one of these cats. They just don't like the noise of fireworks, which, combined with the sudden, scary changes of a new home might not make for a great start. Come Friday, the 5th though, go and grab up one of these terrific cats, all available from local, Kansas City shelters.

One of my lowest points during homelessness occured on an oppressively hot day. I remember being so parched I could not speak. My mouth had become filled with grit as dust devils swirled around the hot pavement upon which I walked.

If I had a dollar for every time I needed just one ingredient to complete a recipe, I’d have … a lot of dollars. Usually, my very kind husband is willing to make a last-minute trip to the store for me, and I love that about him, but sometimes that’s not an option — and in that case, I have to get creative. One of the ingredients I love most for delivering sharp, tangy flavor is Dijon mustard, and I almost always have some in the pantry, but when I’m between bottles there are a few substitutions I lean on instead.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
