Perhaps you're one of the many people who've switched from milk to dark chocolate because the latter has less sugar and more antioxidants. But before you tear into that candy bar or hit the kitchen to start cooking up a homemade treat (like our salted caramel recipe), there's something you should know. Your dark chocolate may be hiding an even darker secret. It's known to contain two heavy metals — cadmium and lead — that can cause harmful health effects. Pregnant people and children are at higher risk.

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.

3 Zodiac Signs That Don’t Apologize

While there's nothing quite like a bagel with cream cheese, there are so many toppings beyond the basics that will take a standard bagel to new heights. Cream cheese might be the go-to condiment, but don't be afraid to think out of the box about other types of creamy spreads, savory dips, and even extra indulgent desserts on top of your bagel.

When the sun is blazing, it’s only natural for that cool ice cream craving to strike. Picking up ice cream during a heatwave is a no-brainer, but what's harder is selecting which ice cream to stock your freezer with. Do you want a pint or quart? What brand? And, most importantly, which flavor?

Fish and chips is a classic seafood dish served at many restaurants, thanks to its straightforward cooking process and compelling crunch that gives way to tender, flaky flesh. It's just fish that is coated in batter and deep-fried, then served with a side of French fries, which are called "chips" because of the street food's close ties to the United Kingdom (in the U.K., fries are referred to as chips).

What Is The Mystery Fish In Your Fish And Chips?

If you read labels on food items before you buy them, then you've probably seen the dolphin-safe label on many brands of canned tuna. This graphic isn't informing you that the product is safe for dolphins to eat, or even hinting that the can contains dolphin meat mixed in with the tuna. It's meant to let you know that no dolphins were intentionally captured or harmed when the tuna was caught.

What The Dolphin-Safe Label Actually Means For Canned Tuna

If you're looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into your cooking, canned corn is an easy and budget-friendly option that makes this sweet, tender veggie available all year. It also makes a fantastic item to stockpile in your pantry in case you have to deal with extreme weather or other hazards that might knock out power. The best brands have multiple styles available and offer a great value, not to mention fantastic taste. Flavor is the top criteria for my taste tests but texture and variety are also key. In my opinion, canned corn should be sweet but still maintain a hint of saltiness, which actually brings out the natural taste of the corn. It should also be tender without crossing over to mushy and not have an excess amount of water in the can, which can impact the flavor and texture. I like corn that has a bit of crispiness without being tough and chewy, which can be common at the base of whole kernel corn.

Leave it to Ree Drummond to prove that she doesn't need an expensive egg pan to make a perfectly moist omelet. Instead, she need only gather her ingredients, a pot of boiling water, and a simple zip-top bag. And in case you're wondering, no, she doesn't boil the omelet to make it so tender and moist, at least, not directly. Instead, the zip-top bag and the hot water work in tandem to cook the omelet. She demonstrated how she does it on her Food Network show, "The Pioneer Woman."

Buttery, toasty, savory, and oozing with cheese, crispy grilled cheese sandwiches are among the best midnight snacks one can have. Plus, they only take mere minutes to whip up. However, the next time you're up late and have a hankering for a quick bite, try replacing it with a snack that is sweet, nutty, crunchy, and melts in your mouth — a grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich makes for one seriously scrumptious substitution. Nothing against a classic PB&J, but the extra effort is worth it for an experience that will truly excite your tastebuds — heating the sandwich changes it both texturally and flavor-wise.

Beef fajitas are a classic Tex-Mex dish that brings together tender, marinated beef with vibrant, sautéed vegetables. The key to perfect fajitas lies in the marinade, which infuses the meat with a burst of flavor and ensures it remains juicy and tender.

While you might be used to using canned tomatoes for a sweet tomato sauce or savory soup, this pantry staple can be helpful in plenty of other ways too. For example, once roasted in the oven, canned tomatoes can actually make the perfect sandwich filling. The heat of the oven drives off excess moisture from canned tomatoes, resulting in firmer and more flavorful tomatoes that are perfect for sliding onto sandwiches. With this hack, you no longer have to worry about any tomato juice making your bread soggy, either.

Let's be honest: The names of beef cuts are often confusing. From sirloin to strip steak to ribeye and eye of round, it's all too easy to mix up different parts of the animal. Yet if you know the specifics of a certain cut, you can unlock marvelous meat magic. One of the best examples of such hidden potential is the chuck flap, also known simply as flap meat and the edge roast.
