And they call it global “warming.” This past decade climate change has shown its colors in many ways, including extreme winters. Oregonians experienced that for themselves in December of 2008, with a winter that closed roads and schools. While this blizzard is definitely not unique, it’s one for the record books.

When it comes to autumn colors, most Americans imagine tree-lined streets in New England or crunchy leaves in Midwestern backyards. Fall is one of the most gorgeous times to sightsee, and there’s one park in the United States that might not immediately strike travelers as a must-visit destination during autumn months. However, Glacier National Park is a gorgeous destination and, in our opinion, THE national park to visit in Montana, particularly for amazing and unexpected fall foliage hotspots....

Despite the fact that pies come in sorts of fabulous flavors, there are a few varieties that claim a spot on the proverbial pie winner’s podium time and time again. (We’re looking at you, apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie!) But as any true born-and-bred Southerner can attest, pumpkin pie isn’t nearly as delicious as sweet potato pie. These sweet, buttery tubers transform into caramelized, creamy filling when mixed with just a few simple ingredients....

Want to try out new food trucks in Kansas? One great place to do this is at the Kansas Food Truck Festival....
