Sometimes I say strawberries or cherries are my favorite fruit—I love rhubarb, too, but technically it’s a vegetable—but truly, I’m all about peaches. I’m never happier than when I’m wandering the aisles of a farmers market or pulling up at a farmstand to purchase a box of fresh summer peaches. Once I get home, I line the peaches up on baking sheets to finish ripening and start planning which desserts I want to make. Then I get baking.

5 Peach Desserts That Prove It’s the Best Fruit of Summer

The Aperol Spritz is a ubiquitous cocktail over the summer months. With its combination of sweet and bitter and a bright, distinctive color, it has something for everyone — so it’s no surprise it’s taken the world by storm over the last few years. But while this drink is a great choice for a summer sipper, maybe you’re looking to expand into something a bit different. In that case, it’s time to explore the wider world of spritzes.

When picking a summertime dessert, I always gravitate to something fruity. There’s nothing quite as refreshing as a sweet and tangy treat on a hot day! I recently made up a batch of these Orange Magic Custard Bars for a backyard get-together and they were perfect for the occasion. If you aren’t familiar with magic custard, it’s a dessert made with one batter that separates into three layers: a base, a custard layer, and a sponge cake top. It’s magic! With the addition of zesty orange and a splash of almond extract, they’re completely irresistible.

Interestingly, there are quite a few tool and outdoor-related deals, including another Dewalt bundle on a cordless drill and impact driver. While that deal is slightly more expensive, we’ve found an excellent alternative. Greenworks, as you may know, is an affordable outdoor gear and tool brand that’s best known for its lawn and mowing options. But it also makes tools like this 24-volt cordless drill and impact combo kit. It comes with the drill, an impact drive, two batteries, a charger, and a bag. All of that is yours for just $105 but split in two, that’s basically $52 per drill. Regularly $150, that saves you about $50 on an already well-priced set. Like most of the Prime Day deals you’ll want to shop this one soon before it sells out.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Thick and syrup-y margarita mixes are the last thing we want in our glasses this summer, but many people who are unfamiliar with crafting tequila beverages default to these because they are unsure where else to start. Tequila is one of the most exciting spirits to experiment with, but after you discover which type you prefer, it’s all about using ingredients that highlight the spirit you’ve chosen. Whether you prefer your drinks to have notes of citrus, sweetness, or heat, my best advice for you is to use simple ingredients and don’t over complicate your recipes.

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.”

While I grew up eating my fair share of chicken and dumplings, I did not grow up eating apple dumplings. That is until my mother discovered a shortcut recipe that used canned crescent rolls and a can of soda. Warm and gooey from the oven and super sweet, we’d top the little makeshift dumplings with vanilla ice cream and dig in.

Cuban cigars are often hailed as the forbidden fruit. Regardless of how you feel about them, they’re highly coveted and incredibly popular in the cigar community — especially among older crowds — and they’re a major conversation piece. But, in simple terms, they’re illegal. First deemed so in 1962 because of the U.S. and Cuban embargo, as put in place by John F. Kennedy; it’s pretty much been that way since.

Why are Cuban cigars illegal in the United States and will that change?
