Granola is good for so much more than just yogurt. It lends this mixed berry smoothie a rich and nutty flavor, as well as a surprising warmth, thanks to the added spices. The sweet and tart berries give the drink its deep purple color, and you can use a mix of any varieties you have on hand. We recommend using a blend of fresh and frozen for the best texture in your smoothie, but if the fruit is out-of-season, frozen is your best bet, since it was packaged while the berries were in-season and in peak ripeness.

Cantaloupe is a mainstay of a fresh fruit salad. It's also enjoyed in various other forms on its own, such as sliced for a hand-held snack, scooped into poppable melon balls, or blended and frozen into a creamy dessert.

The Biggest Mistake When Peeling Peaches, According To A Food Editor

Editor's note: This article was originally published on August 9, 2022. It has since been updated. Anna Trupiano is a first-grade teacher at a school that serves deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing students. She helps her students flourish in a world that can be challenging for deaf people. Trupiano shared a hilarious teaching moment that happened in her class. A 6-year-old student who's deaf farted in class and some of the other students started to laugh. The kid was surprised to see everyone looking in their direction because they had no idea that farts made a sound. Trupiano later explained to her student that farts, at least some, can be heard out loud. The incident also highlighted the lack of access to such information when loved ones aren't able to sign. Trupiano explained how it was just one example of deaf students missing out on information that many considered common knowledge.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
