Enjoy the flavor of steak basted in garlic and parsley butter without making the commitment of a full steakhouse dinner. These garlic butter steak bites make for an easy appetizer or a light supper for four. Cooking the steak in small pieces makes it easier to maneuver in the pan and ensures lots of crispy brown edges and seared beefy flavor in the finished dish. Making garlic parsley butter in the same pan ensures that each bite is soused with seasonings, rich and delicious.

Dump cake is one of the easiest desserts to make. The four-ingredient cake gets its name because the components are literally “dumped” into a baking dish. Most dump cake recipes don’t even require prep work other than melting or cubing the butter. This lemon dump cake recipe is so easy to pull off that even first-time bakers will revel in their success—and maybe even memorize the recipe after the first go!

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart. It seems that customers at stores such as Walmart believe it's acceptable to grab perishable items, such as meat or dairy, and then place them on any available shelf if they decide they no longer want them.

This avocado burger is a symphony of creamy, refreshing and juicy bites. The patties burst with vibrant flavors as we blend avocado and aromatic spices into the ground beef.

Florida’s buffet lovers are in for a shocker as the popular Royal Sushi Buffet & Hibachi in Port Richey has been temporarily shut down following a state inspection.

Whereas the clunky plastic options of yore kept their chill for just a few hours, sleek modern coolers (like Yeti coolers) retain their icy contents for days at a time. This is especially important for camping trips or long hours on the beach. Warm sand feels great between the toes, but it doesn’t bode well for keeping non-alcoholic beers and probiotic sodas ice cold. That said, contemporary coolers have one main failing: chilling food without creating a soggy mess. Luckily, the Ninja FrostVault Cooler solves this problem by offering additional features for those who want to take along a few snacks, too.

Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases. Keeping your drink of choice cool during the summer is a priority during parties (ice-cold probiotic sodas, anyone?). However, in my opinion, the best stress test for a cooler is a multi-day camping excursion. For folks like me who enjoy trekking into the backwoods with little more than a cooler, a tent and a select few essentials, it’s imperative that any perishables stay chilly for days on end. I can say from personal experience that there’s nothing more disappointing than opening up your pricey cooler on day three of a trip only to find a few pieces of ice floating in a pool of lukewarm water. Enter: the Orca cooler.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Rhubarb may be a tart vegetable that looks like celery, but this particular spring and summertime produce can easily be used in the most delectable desserts. One of our favorite rhubarb recipes is this rhubarb cobbler, comprising a sugary bubbling rhubarb base topped with a biscuit-like dough. Not only does it use up all that rhubarb, but it is also an easily versatile cobbler recipe that allows for you to add in any other fruit you might have on hand, like strawberries or raspberries.

A paper plane cocktail ranks as one of my most beloved drinks to make and drink. Four equal parts make it easy to remember, and it combines my favorite spirit, bourbon, (don’t tell my friend gin) with bittersweet Aperol, herby earthy but refreshing amaro Nonino and a splash of tart lemon for balance.
