During this summer heat wave, all we can think about is an ice-cold dessert to cool us down.

As a big fan of Yeti, I’ll be the first to tell you that the brand rarely goes on sale.

But now, thanks to Amazon Prime Day, you can get these buy-for-life products on a deep discount. Score a super-insulated Tundra 35 Cooler for $83 off, or take 50 percent off one of the brand’s coveted can koozies. The Prime Day deals only run through Wednesday, so grab them while you can!

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

I’ve learned the majority of my cooking skills by observing my grandma in the kitchen as diligently as humanly possible. She’s taught me how to make curry pastes, properly chop onions, and even debone entire chickens. But the most valuable tip that she’s taught me, by far, is how to cook perfect white rice each and every time.

Becoming the baker in the family is both a blessing and a curse. I love trying new recipes and having my family members act as my guinea pigs and test the final products, especially when those recipes are desserts tied to my Mexican heritage.
