Meal prepping is a process that can save you valuable money and time when you're low on both. You can whip up a big batch of the same foods on one prep day, and then enjoy it the rest of the week. Rice can be a major part of many folks' prepared meals. But as it turns out, that might actually be a bad idea. If you're eating old rice, you may be at risk for food poisoning.

When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

This One Ingredient Will Keep Your Burgers From Drying Out on the Grill

Who doesn’t love a good buffet? With fixed prices and the freedom to pile your plate high with as much food as you want, they can offer great value for your money. Americans with big appetites love the buffet concept, and restaurants often lose money with those folks. On the other hand, light eaters like myself are more the target audience.

While each decade has its own television shows that leave a mark, the 1980s was full of some truly great comedy television. It was the era when we first met Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties. We met the Tanners on Full House and the Seavers on Growing Pains. Then, there was Cheers, The Golden Girls, The Cosby Show, Family Matters, and Silver Spoons. And we can’t forget about iconic shows like Miami Vice, Roseanne, Murder, She Wrote, and Unsolved Mysteries.

With prices on fresh produce and meat consistently on the rise, shoppers on a budget have had to get a bit creative with their shopping lists — which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fans of grilling steaks and pork chops have seen the charcoal-fueled light of grilling fresh peaches and pineapple and chefs of all experience levels are revisiting the benefits of canned foods. Ever since Nicolas Appert first perfected canned food preservation to fuel Napoleon's military conquests, canned foods have been a household staple for chefs on a budget.

My vegetarian brother hovered over the stove, staring at a package of uncooked beef hot dogs that he graciously planned to cook for the rest of us, his omnivorous family (he was eating Beyond Brats). “What do I do with these?” he asked, and I chuckled to myself at his naiveté.

On July 3rd, the FDA prohibited the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and beverages. Typically, we see brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored drinks, mostly sodas. The good news is that all the big boy soda brands quit using it long ago, but a lot of off-brand and store-brand sodas still do.
