I’m not fond of lamb. That probably stems from childhood when I couldn’t get past the image of those loveable little wooly animals when it was served up on a platter. I don’t recall that mother ever served it, but alas, we knew people who did. Also in later years, my brother developed a love for [...]

This might not be the healthiest recipe, but I couldn’t resist passing it along. The recipe was in the latest issue of Taste of Home’s “Simple & Delicious” magazine. “Kids love this recipe,” writes contributor Jenny Staniec of Oak Grove, Minn. “What could be better than pizza and mac ‘n’ cheese all in one meal?” Staniec notes [...]

In the first print edition of Stretching a Buck, Verna Bergmann shared some grocery shopping and cooking ideas to make a dollar go a little further. As part of her job as University of Idaho dietitian, Bergmann teaches monthly cooking classes that each revolve around a single recipe or staple. Tuesday’s class, which I decided to [...]

My posting Monday on baked potato toppings was more profound than I realized. In an email release Tuesday datelined Eagle, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) revealed that according to a recent survey, potatoes are the country’s favorite vegetable.
