Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ground beef, and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until almost fully browned, about 4 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until softened and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Sweet tea—or as they call it in the South, “tea”—is an American summertime institution. It combines all the key elements of a hot-weather beverage: It’s cold (preferably iced), sweet, light, and refreshing. It’s even got caffeine, so it packs a bit of a punch. And since it's not a soda and is technically derived from a plant, it has the faint aura of being healthy (just don’t look too closely at the nutrition facts on the back of the bottle).

I’ll be the first to admit it: An entire dinner made from only two ingredients sounds a little too good to be true. Coming up with a full meal that is delicious, filling, inexpensive, convenient, and at least somewhat nutritious is already a challenge. But to meet all of these criteria in under two ingredients—impossible... right?

A mere decade or two ago, most Americans thought of EVOO (aka extra virgin olive oil) as the starting ingredient of a salad dressing or to use for sautéing meats and vegetables. But these days, as food trends stack up and home cooks become more experimental, we’re using this heart-healthy fat in coffee, cakes, as an ice cream topping (trust us—it’s incredible!), and so much more.

Someone in New Jersey is ordering a lot of green tea ice cream through Instacart, and I want to know who it is. As a Jersey native, I was surprised when Instacart’s map of the most uniquely popular ice cream flavors in the U.S. and Canada indicated that the Garden State joins Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and our Ontario neighbors to the north in ordering a bunch of green tea ice cream for home delivery.

We’ve hit the part of summer where it feels so hot, there seems to be only one solution: Buy a plane ticket to Italy and never look back. But while I can dream of curing my mid-summer blues halfway across the world, it's just not in the cards for me right now.

Costco just got a little more tempting for those drawn to delicious baked goods (so basically, all of us). The warehouse store already has a bakery department with everything from s’mores cookies to mini cakes and sugared orange rolls, plus so many other goodies that seem to whisper, “Buy us all!”

Here's another recipe for fudge that's very easy to make. You can double it, or quadruple it, for more servings. 4 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder (I like 2 tablespoons of each)

3-Ingredient Fudge

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
