There is nothing more discouraging then going to the grocery store and picking out some fruit or vegetables that you think was really good only to get it home and find out it is flavorless, bitter or just plain disappointing. It can even happen when you go to farmer’s markets, so it is always a good idea to know just what to look for so that you can spend your money wisely and get something that tastes great. Refinery 29 has put together a list of some of the top summer produce and what you should look for so you can see when something is ripe and at its best. Check it out!

How to Cook Hot Dogs the Right Way – Bon Appétit.

I think hot dogs are one of those things most people take for granted. Some people may not eat them at all and they get little respect from cooks because they seem easy to make and don’t have much to them, but the fact is that you can cook a hot dog incorrectly and it can really mess up your cookout. Bon Appetit has set forth 5 rules for cooking your hot dogs the right way so that you make sure that the fire is right, the buns are right, you have the right condiments (ketchup vs. mustard? I am a mustard guy!) and everyone loves what you offer. Check it out!
