This cheesy rice bake is an effortless way to make a burger bowl
OK, hear me out — cheeseburger rice bake. It might sound a little unconventional, but the combo of rice, mince and cheese is anything but unusual across the world and the flavours are comforting and nostalgic.
Think: fluffy rice as your bun base, topped with juicy, seasoned "burger patty" mince and a generous layer of melted cheese, all baked until golden and bubbly. Then, just like your favourite burger, it's finished with tangy burger sauce (with pickles, they are non-negotiable), crisp shredded lettuce, and juicy cherry tomatoes.
It's an easy, satisfying weeknight meal — and a great option for anyone gluten-free who's been missing that classic cheeseburger hit (just be sure to check your pre-bought sauces for any sneaky gluten). I really enjoyed this one — I hope you do too!

Three sisters who vanished while visiting homeless dad are found dead
The three young sisters who vanished while visiting their troubled and homeless father have been found dead, police confirmed Tuesday — as they continued hunting the dad for their kidnapping and murders. The bodies of the Decker sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 — were found late Monday close to their father's truck near a campground in Wenatchee, Washington, where SWAT teams and even a Homeland Security helicopter had frantically searched the area, KIRO 7 reported. The girls' AMBER alerts were cancelled late Monday without explanation, before police confirmed the deaths Tuesday with 'sincere and deep heartfelt condolences to the family'. The search continued for their 32-year-old dad, Travis Decker, who had collected them from their mother's house for a planned visitation on Friday — then went missing with them in his white 2017 GMC Sierra truck. Decker is described as a military veteran with extensive training. Hours before the bodies were found, a warrant was issued for Decker's arrest on three counts of first-degree custodial interference. On Tuesday, the charges were updated to three counts each of kidnapping and first-degree murder, police confirmed to Fox13. Decker, who is homeless and divorced from his children's mother, was known to stay at campgrounds and hotels in the local area with his dog, according to police. After picking up the girls Friday, Decker and his truck were seen later that weekend in the west end of Leavenworth, triggering a police search in the wooded areas around the town, NCWLIFE reported. The bodies were found on Rock Island Campground, about 30km west of the town of Leavenworth, at around 5pm on Monday. SWAT teams and federal agencies — including Homeland Security and the US Forest Service — then descended on the area and began the search for Decker. The Washington State Patrol Crime Scene Response Team came to process the scene and search Decker's truck on Monday. Processing is expected to wrap up sometime today. The girls' mother, Whitney Decker, had issued a heartbreaking appeal for their safe return Monday, hours before the bodies were found. 'I just want the girls back home safe and sound — that is the most important thing to me,' she said in the emailed statement sent to NCWLIFE. 'I am concerned about the safety and wellbeing of my girls and their dad. This is an unimaginable situation. 'I am pleading for everyone to look out for them.' She said she had never had problems before when her ex had the kids — and didn't think his battles with mental health would make him 'dangerous'. 'Travis has really struggled since he left the military and his mental health can be hard sometimes,' she told Kiro7 before her daughters turned up dead. 'He is impulsive and he loves his children very much.' A heartbreaking letter was sent out to parents, students and staff by the Wenatchee School District on Tuesday. All three girls attended Lincoln Elementary School. Describing the 'incredibly difficult situation', Superintendent Kory Kalahar said that counselling services were being provided on campus for all children and staff who need support. 'To allow our students, staff, and families the space and privacy they need to mourn and begin healing, we respectfully ask that you do not come to the school campus except for regular school business,' the letter, seen by Fox13, continued. Authorities have issued a description of Decker and have asked the community to help find him. He is described as 172cm tall, 86kg, with black hair and brown eyes, last seen wearing a light-coloured shirt and dark shorts. Although it is unknown whether Decker is currently armed, he may pose a significant threat if approached, authorities added. Anyone who believes they may have seen Decker since Friday or knows his current whereabouts is urged to call police immediately. Due to safety concerns, the public is urged not to attempt to contact or approach Decker.

Colorado fire-bomb suspect's family being held for deportation
The family of the Egyptian national charged with throwing gasoline bombs at a pro-Israeli rally in Colorado has been taken into federal custody and could be swiftly deported, US officials say. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a social media post that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had taken Mohamed Sabry Soliman's family into custody. Federal officials have said Mr Soliman, who lived in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children, was in the US illegally, having overstayed a tourist visa and an expired work permit. Ms Noem said federal agents were also investigating "to what extent" his family knew about the attack, and if they provided any support. ICE did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for more details about the detention of Mr Soliman's family. According to local media reports, the family members include two teenagers and three younger children. FBI and police officials said on Monday that the family had cooperated with investigators, adding Mr Soliman said he acted alone. The White House, in a social media post, said Mr Soliman's family was in ICE's custody for "expedited removal", adding they "could be deported as early as tonight". Department of Homeland Security officials said Mr Soliman entered the US in August 2022 on a tourist visa, filed for asylum the following month, then remained in the country after his visa expired in February 2023. The Sunday attack in Boulder, Colorado, injured a dozen people, many of them elderly. It targeted people at an event organised by Run for Their Lives, an organisation devoted to drawing attention to the hostages seized during Hamas's 2023 terror attack on Israel. An affidavit said the suspect threw two lit Molotov cocktails at individuals participating in the pro-Israel gathering, yelling, "Free Palestine" as they ignited in the crowd. Mr Soliman, 45, told investigators he wanted to "kill all Zionist people" but had delayed the attack until after his daughter graduated from high school. He has been charged with attempted murder, assault and a federal hate crime. Police and FBI affidavits quoted Mr Soliman as saying he took firearms training to obtain a concealed-carry permit but ended up using Molotov cocktails because his non-citizen status blocked him from buying guns. Mr Soliman told investigators he had learned how to make the firebombs from YouTube. Federal and local authorities have said Mr Soliman had done nothing to draw law enforcement attention prior to Sunday's attack. Reuters

‘Robbed': 16-year-old stripped of state championship over fire extinguisher act
The moment that 16-year-old Clara Adams' State Championship dreams went up in smoke was captured on video, as the controversy surrounding the teen's post-race celebration has made headlines across America. Adams, a sprinter from North Salinas High School in Salinas, California paid homage to a celebration made famous by American sprint icon Maurice Greene by taking a fire extinguisher from her father and spraying her spikes after winning the 400-meter event Saturday. CIF officials didn't take too kindly and disqualified her, stripping her of her state title. The teen could be seen standing in the infield of the track away from other participants as she bent over and started extinguishing her shoes with the fire extinguisher. Several people who appeared to be CIF officials looked on, with one almost immediately approaching her after the celebration and leading her away. The celebration was ultimately deemed unsportsmanlike and she was disqualified. The decision to disqualify Adams came moments before she was slated to run in the 200-meter event, and due to the ruling she was not allowed to run the race, which she had been of the favourites to win. A devastated Adams spoke after the disqualification after the officials handed down the decision. 'I don't know what's going through my mind right now,' Adams told the Mercury News. 'I'm disappointed and I feel robbed. I am in shock. They (officials) yelled at me and told me, 'We're not letting you on the podium.' They took my moment away from me.' Adams' father, David, insisted that 'the opponents were gone' when she used the fire extinguisher and said that CIF officials 'made it about them.' 'The crowd went crazy, they loved it, the CIF booth went crazy, they loved it. But those few guys in those jackets took offence to it, didn't like it, and made a decision based off emotions,' he told the TV station. Adams does have one big supporter in her corner, with Greene himself indicating that he was happy that she did his celebration and felt that she should get her title back. Greene used the celebration when he won the 100-meter dash in 2004 at the Home Depot Invitational. 'When I heard, cause it happened, and then people just started calling me 'This girl who just ran the 400 did your celebration,' I was like huh? What?' Greene said. 'If it was away from everyone and not interfering with anyone, I would say reinstate her.'
