Apples are in season, and they just so happen to make adorable––not to mention budget-friendly––candle-holders. We saw this simple craft listed for Halloween, but we think it can be used for so much more. Place them on windowsills and mantels for a unique way to cast a glow and usher in fall. Use them in a bowl or on a plate for a unique centerpiece for Thanksgiving. Or place some loose greenery around it for a red and green Christmas display.

Everyone knows that fish is good for us. Fish are a lean, healthy source of protein—and the oily kinds, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, etc.—deliver those heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 fats you’ve probably also heard you should be getting in your diet. And we are supposed to be enjoying them twice a week.
So why don’t we?
Many of us set out determined to improve our health and diet and head out to the Market to “Get Us Some Fish”. But then it happens:

There are almost as many different types of cobbler dough as there are cobbler recipes. And in true American style they have some very interesting names: the Betty, the grump, the slump, the dump, the buckle, and the sonker. But no matter how you prepare your fruit cobbler many of us will agree that the Deep South tradition of topping it with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, is a tradition well worth preserving.
Here is an easy to prepare cobbler dough for the perfect summer dessert

Some produce are terrible roommates – they are a bit “gassy”.
The main way to lengthen shelf life of produce is by using cold temperatures to slow food’s respiration, or ‘breathing’ process.” In general, the warmer the temperature, the faster the rate of respiration, which is why refrigeration is critical for most produce.
