Country music star Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years. Court filings in Franklin, Tennessee, list irreconcilable differences as the reason. The couple married in Las Vegas in 2016 and separated on May 9. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, won three Grammys earlier this year, including best contemporary country album for “Beautifully Broken.” Jelly Roll has often credited his wife, Alisa DeFord, also known as Bunnie Xo, for helping him turn his life around. In a memoir released in February, Xo wrote that a true connection kept the couple together through ups and downs.

When you go camping, do you have hot dogs or quinoa salad? For most people, processed foods are the go-to because they’re convenient. But dietitians say you don’t have to sacrifice your health or torture your taste buds in the wild. Aaron Owens Mayhew says sugary carbs like candy bars and baked goods can lead to an energy crash. Foods high in saturated fat can cause bloating or weigh you down. Instead, at a campsite, try to eat close to what you have at home. Also, pack lightweight, easy-to-cook grains like instant brown rice or couscous. Boost the flavor with garlic or onion powder, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, or dried fruit or mushrooms. A universal spice mix in a container can jazz up grilled meat, fish or vegetables.

No food says Japan more than sushi. But few people make it themselves, even Japanese. Traditionally, the art of making sushi meant decades-long training to become a master. But times are changing. Now, just about anyone can enjoy making sushi. Tsuneo Suzuki, a chef and 45-year veteran, teaches amateurs at a school in downtown Tokyo and gives sushi-making demonstrations elsewhere. Students at one of his recent demonstrations in Tokyo said sushi-making wasn't easy, but it's not as hopeless as it might seem if you follow the teacher's instructions. Start with white rice, a little vinegar, salt and pepper, the sliced seafood and some soy sauce for dipping.

Volunteers are supporting Congo's Ebola outbreak response with cooked meals in a program assisted by the U.N. food agency. Their contributions could become one of the critical supports for the region as it grapples with the rapidly spreading rare Bundibugyo virus, the species of Ebola confirmed in eastern Congo in May. However, the resource-strapped agency, the World Food Program, is facing a critical choice as aid cuts from U.S. and other major partners have disrupted operations in the vulnerable region. An official with the agency says a total of 404 meals have been provided to patients and health workers, but that the financial situation has not been easy.

Oreo is teaming up with K-pop supergroup BTS to capitalize on consumers’ growing interest in global flavors. Oreo parent company Mondelez said on Tuesday that BTS-themed Oreos will go on sale next month for a limited time. The sandwich cookies feature purple wafers in a nod to the band's signature color and a creme center that tastes like hotteok, a brown sugar-stuffed Korean pancake.

New York City's iconic pizzerias and bagel shops may soon be forced to update their long-standing baking practices after state lawmakers moved to ban a common additive. The bill would prohibit businesses from using potassium bromide, a key component of a type of flour that is widely used at the city's pizzerias and bagel shops. The chemical compound is considered a possible carcinogen and is widely banned outside the United States. While some fear the ban will hurt the city's longtime establishments, others say it could ultimately enhance the city's slices and bagels. The legislation is awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature.

The company pledged last year to remove artificial dyes from its U.S. products by 2027.
