Levenseller was staring down a redshirt and just hoping for the opportunity to compete for time as the Cougars’ scout team quarterback.

In my opinion, I saved the best for the last. The past two days, I have shared recipes from Taste of Home’s “Budget Friendly Meals” bonus book. The one I’m offering today is the last of the three I plan to post, but it was my personal favorite. Even though it sounds gooey and probably messy [...]
