Dairy Queen Finally Brought Back Its 'Best Blizzard Ever' After 3 Years

3 days ago | yahoo.com | Courtney Kassel

Key TakeawaysDairy Queen is bringing back a fan-favorite Blizzard Treat just in time for the start of summer. The Blizzards is DQ's first-ever digital-exclusive menu item. Celebrating your own birthday is fun, but celebrating your favorite fast food chain's birthday is arguably even better. Why? Because while our birthdays last just one day—or maybe one weekend, if you're celebrating a milestone—brands love to make their birthdays a whole month- or even year-long celebration.

The latest in chip news arrived before Memorial Day weekend, when Doritos announced it was bringing back three of its fan-loved summer flavors, and adding a new one. But sorry to those flavors, because I'll be reaching right past them and going for a fan-favorite flavor that has quietly returned to shelves just in time for Fourth of July barbecues.
Meet Candy Steak: The 3-Ingredient Dish I Beg My Dad To Make When I Visit

1 week ago | allrecipes.com | Courtney Kassel

This weekend, like many others, I'll make the (not so long) trek home to celebrate Father's Day with my dad. And while there are so many reasons to celebrate him, I would be remiss if I didn't mention his culinary prowess. Yes, while I have both my parents to thank for my eventual career path as a food writer, it was my dad who sparked my initial interest in all things cooking.

FDA Announces Recall of Crackers in 11 States Due To Undeclared Allergen

According to a press release, the recall was initiated on May 30, 2025, after it was discovered that the sesame-containing crackers were distributed in packaging that did not disclose the presence of sesame. A subsequent investigation revealed that the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's packaging process, resulting in incorrect labels being applied to the product. Only one lot of Firehook artisan-baked Classic Sea Salt Crackers has been recalled at this time.
This Cake Is So Good, My Grandma Requested It For Her 100th Birthday

2 weeks ago | allrecipes.com | Courtney Kassel

In a few months, my grandma will celebrate her 102nd birthday. I know. If you've read anything I've written about my Nana, you'll know that even at 101, she is just as sharp and stubborn as ever (or, in her words, she likes what she likes). You'll also know that her favorite meal is dessert, and one of her secrets to longevity is eating at least one piece of chocolate every day. That's why I knew she'd have strong opinions when it came to her birthday cake.

In fact, mayo's divisive status has even inspired products solely dedicated to the debate. But today, we don't want to talk about that debate. We want to talk about another controversy: where you're storing your mayo.

1 month ago | allrecipes.com | Courtney Kassel

After being teased back in April, Starbucks' summer menu is finally coming to cafés. The menu includes two returning fan favorites from last summer, and one brand-new iced espresso drink. We got to try the new drink early, and here's our honest review. At this point, we know we sound like a broken record when we say that seasonal menus seem to be hitting restaurants earlier and earlier—but it’s still true.
