Flavorful Chicken Rice Casserole: A Hearty One-Pan Meal

Americans really, really love burritos. In fact, in 2021, one survey discovered that more than half of people in the US would take a burrito over a romantic date. It’s not hard to understand why. Burritos are satisfying, customizable, comforting, packed with flavor, and unlike a romantic partner, there is no real risk of them breaking your heart. While preparing burritos from scratch is hard to beat, sometimes, we only have the energy or motivation to simply walk to the freezer and heat one up. If you love a frozen burrito, find some of our go-to vegan-friendly options below.

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.

Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

Humans have been chewing for, quite literally, centuries. In Europe, thousands of years ago, research suggests that people opted to munch away on birch bark. And in North America, indigenous communities regularly chewed resin from spruce trees. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that the chewing gum industry as we know it today started to take shape.

Humans have been eating fish for hundreds of thousands of years. In fact, researchers have even found evidence of deboned catfish in Kenya that dates back around 1.95 million years. But since then, our habits have changed quite a bit. With the changes and stresses of modern life, it became harder to eat fresh fish, and we needed more effective ways to preserve it. And so, in the 1800s, we started packaging it in tins. The invention was a hit; tinned fish is cost-efficient, shelf-stable, and long-lasting (seriously, some tins of fish can last for years in the pantry).

Yep, Vegan Tinned Fish Is a Thing. Here’s Where to Buy It

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days.
