If your plate is larger than 9 inches across, you're probably eating too much.
Many Kansans are quick to turn their noses up at turnips, but it seems everyone wants locally grown sweet potatoes.
A small-town barbecue-joint bartender made it all the way to the big time -- sort of. He went before Judge Judy in a carding case.
A mom on a budget hits three grocery stores to find the best deals.
One writer says the numbers don't lie when it comes to determining our national sandwich -- and he believes the clear winner is peanut butter & jelly.

I thought you might be interested in learning about more offers from Dole. Dole Foods created an online instant win game. Everyone who plays receives a printable coupon for Dole products. There are also a bunch of other prizes you can win playing the game like a $10 grocery Visa card or a chance to win a trip for two to California and a 2-night stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village along with a spa visit and wellness consultation. If you don’t win at least it’s a fun way to grab a coupon! You can check out the game (and receive your coupons) here: http://bit.ly/43JwLW
