Halo Top ice cream just announced that they’re launching seven new flavors this month and you’re going to want to try them all. For those not in the know, Halo Top is everyone’s favorite low-calorie ice cream. In fact, it’s the best-selling pint of ice cream in the United States right now. Most pints fall in the range of 240 to 360 calories a pint and have up to 24 grams of protein. While you definitely won’t get the same mouthfeel and taste as full-fat regular ol’ ice cream, Halo Top is probably the best of the low-calorie options.

The seven new flavors branch out from the more traditional offerings, including a pancakes and waffle flavor (!!!) and candy bar ice cream. The new flavors shouldn’t be hitting grocery stores for a couple weeks, but if you need to get your hands on something right now, you can currently buy them online for $6.99 a pint.

Avocado-lovers received some bad news earlier this year — their favorite fruit was going to cost them more money as the market rate reached record highs. A Bloomberg report warned that a combination of growing demand and a smaller crop would make the price of avocado steeper than usual in 2017, and it did. At the time, the going rate for a box of avocados was double that of last year, reaching a 19-year high. Oof.

This summer I have a pretty delicious problem: a neighbor with too many tomato plants. Every week she comes by with a box of ripe tomatoes in every shape and size imaginable.

This list of 15 tomato recipes is just as much for me as it is for you.

Watermelon is basically the unofficial mascot of the summer. It pops up in drinks, during picnics, at the pool (just look at this watermelon beach towel!), in the living room (don’t pretend like you don’t have a watermelon pillow on your couch!), and more.

The fruit is also all over Pinterest, featured in tons of oh-so-cute DIY craft ideas. Here are some of the best ideas out there — and how to make them during your next crafternoon.

My love for a margarita knows no bounds — I love a very classic fresh lime juice and tequila over the rocks margarita just as much as I love the sweet pitchers that our favorite Tex-Mex restaurant serves up. Frothy blended margaritas have a distinct appeal on a warm patio in the middle of summer — icy cold with a strong flavor that melts into a refreshingly mellow drink that keeps you from drinking too much.

On a mission to recreate what I love about a blended margarita without using sour mix or a can of limeade concentrate, I discovered an ice cube tray was the secret ingredient to making a blender margarita taste just as good as a fresh one with all the laid-back ease and hospitality the pitcher varieties offer.

This is chicken salad for the mayonnaise-hating crowd, although even if you happen to think mayonnaise is perfectly delightful, this is a nice alternative. It’s got crunch, color, and a tangy dijon vinaigrette. Plus, it goes really well with some slices of bacon. Just sayin’.

This slow-cooker sauce is the ultimate answer to the overabundance of summer fruit. Whether you went crazy at the U-Pick or just got too excited at the farmers market or grocery store, turning your excess into a warm, sweet sauce is an easy solution — especially when all that’s required of you is dumping the fruit into the slow cooker with a little water and sugar and letting the appliance do its thing.
