This summer my goal is to make burgers just like Allrecipes Allstar Bri Evans. She has all the tips you could possibly need, including one secret ingredient she learned about from a friend at church. “I mentioned to a friend that I had a pound of beef thawed at home, but was considering buying more so I could make meatloaf,” Evans says. “She suggested adding some minced carrot to stretch the meat.” After giving this trick a try for meatloaf, Evans found it works equally well in a variety of ground beef recipes. “Burgers, tacos, meatballs–the options really are endless,” she says.

From soft and spongy chocolate chip muffins to sweet blueberry varieties, a batch of these sweet treats are fun to make for their versatility and delicious flavors alike.

Surprised? Just hear us out first.

The Secret Ingredient You Need Every Time You Bake Muffins

Guests gather around the grill and mill about outside at most backyard barbecues. If the host is running back and forth to the kitchen preparing and serving sides, they miss out on the best parts of the party. By getting the side dishes sliced, diced, and stirred before the party, you are free to spend the party working the grill–or the crowd.

I love quiche, but I don’t often have time to make a pie crust from scratch, nor do I always have the right ingredients on hand. So, when I was strolling past the deli section at the front of one of my favorite ALDI stores—and yes, I do have three favorite ALDIs I shop at regularly—I discovered La Terra Fina quiches.

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.”

When you think of Chick-fil-A, it's not likely that the first word that comes to mind is “salad.” It’s no secret that fast food salads generally get a bad rap for being sad and wilted. Typically, I don’t disagree. But, I have stumbled upon an exception....

Canned foods are easy and affordable, but flavor-wise, foods like canned vegetables aren't always as appealing as the fresh ones. That's why you need to take them up a notch by adding some seasoning or cooking them in a way that infuses them with other flavors. In the case of canned green beans, try cooking them in bacon fat for a fuller, richer flavor — once you try it, you'll never cook them another way.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

On a long road trip, we all need two kinds of essential fuel. There’s the kind that keeps the car running, and then the type that keeps *us* running. While any old gas station or fast food fare can do the trick, if you’re going to be in the car for a while, you might want to employ some strategy to keep you satiated. Bringing your own snacks reduces unnecessary stops, meaning you’ll get to your final destination that much faster. And with the costs of fast food higher than ever this summer, that’s money back in your pocket. Finally, when you’re munching on something you actually like—and maybe something nutritious—that long drive will feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure.
