But as with any other produce, we may discover we sometimes have bought or grown more than we need and that means storing them to maintain their optimum freshness.

Here's How To Store Bell Peppers So They Last Longer

There are countless benefits to owning a well-functioning vacuum cleaner—picking up debris and sucking up allergens are just the beginning. “You can improve indoor air quality by vacuuming regularly because it gets rid of tiny particles normally circulating in the air,” Janice Stewart, owner of Castle Keepers House Cleaning in Charleston and Greenville, South Carolina, explains. “It also prolongs the life of carpets and upholstery, even leather, by taking care of the debris that would scratch and wear these surfaces down.”

On more than one occasion, in the spirit of not showing up somewhere empty-handed, I’ve grabbed a gifted bottle of wine or unused candle to offer as a host gift. But just because we’ve done something a time or two doesn’t necessarily mean it passes muster with polite company, so we asked our readers: Is it ever okay to regift a present?

Before you scoff, hear me out. While these fried mushrooms are no substitute for crispy Southern-fried chicken (nothing is, honestly), they are really dang delicious. Soaked in a rich, meaty mushroom stock before being dredged in flour and dunked in buttermilk (fried chicken-style), these mushrooms are ridiculously crispy and full of flavor. They make an excellent party appetizer with warm marinara sauce or even ranch dressing, but try the creamy mushroom gravy to get the full chicken-fried steak effect.
