In Friday’s print edition of Stretching a Buck, University of Idaho dietitian Verna Bergmann pointed out that lentils have just as much - if not more - protein than meat and are decidedly cheaper. So where can you switch them out for meat? I’m thinking lentil tacos and lentil burritos, lentils to help soak up the [...]

It’s now or never, at least this season, to offer up one more suggestion to serve Sunday for the Super Bowl crowd. This is one of the recipes I mentioned in the Thursday posting that came in a mailing hawking new cookbooks. The sender noted the recipe below was one “guaranteed to be a hands-down winner [...]

The first order of business should probably be introductions. So. I’m Carissa Wright, or CDub, the news editor here at the Daily News. I’m a recent University of Idaho graduate still adjusting to life on the “outside.” One of the biggest differences has in my experience been dealing with money. Like so many this year, my [...]

Will this be the day that Idaho breaks its 0-13 losing streak to the BSU basketball team? The Vandals all say how they love playing in front of their home crowd, and tonight’s crowd should be exceptional. Last week the crowd stepped up and got loud and excited, and Verlin, Wiley and Hopson all said it helped [...]

Today’s a big day for the Cougar men as they face one of the best teams in the Pac-10, Arizona State. A win could wash away some of the nasty taste in their mouths from last week’s disappointing losses to UCLA and USC. A loss would drop WSU to 3-5 in the conference and 11-9 overall, [...]

Hardly a day goes by that I don’t receive recipes, either in food magazines, cookbooks, press releases and the like. Yesterday was no exception. I opened an envelope containing offers for a variety of cookbooks and the sender had included a few recipes in the mailing geared to whet interest. I was ready to toss the [...]

Just to let you know, I have posted a video of The Holiday Friends with the article. Here are the first few lines of the story, followed by the video. There’s something cheery and nonthreatening about a band called The Holiday Friends. That’s what the five-member Moscow indie pop band had in mind when they came up with [...]

The heading is the title of a little cookbook I picked up a few years ago. It is one from the Better Homes and Garden Series and guaranteed the recipes provided would provide “20 minute super suppers.” I had the cookbook in a stack I’d set aside for recipes to post on the blog. In selecting [...]

I have seen several games won or lost with a buzzer beating shot and the feeling is always the same. The team who gets the win is thrilled while the team handed the loss is crushed. I know there is always a team that has to lose but I am continually surprised by the let-down I [...]

I seldom receive a Taste of Home Magazine that doesn’t contain a few recipes I’m determined to try. Yesterday was no exception. The February/March publication billed as the “Special Winter Baking Issue” contained a section on quick and easy bread recipes, “allowing you the pleasure of homemade bread without all the fuss.” Just the kind of [...]
