Hey students - did you know getting good grades could save you a few bucks on a tank of gas? It’s true: Tesoro stations offer students $2 off for each A and $1 off for each B (and here’s an article with other perks of good grades.) Alexiss, our new designer here at the DNews, tipped me [...]

It only took a couple of days of chilly weather and some tasty sounding recipes in the October/November issue of my Cooking Club magazine to put me in the mood for anything with pumpkin in it. The recipe I’m sharing today is for a quick and easy dip that would be perfect to set out for [...]

My brother is still with me, waiting on me hand and foot as I mend from my broken hip. As I’ve mentioned recently, he loves cookbooks almost as much as his sister and when I allow him some down time, he contents himself looking through my collection. On Sunday, he called my attention to a recipe [...]

I was cleaning out some computer files over the weekend and came across an old Cookbook Corner column I’d done a couple of years ago. Included were two recipes I thought worth sharing although most cooks probably already have their own versions.

To that end, I turned to a cookbook favorite simply titled “Casseroles” written years ago in a series titled, “Favorite Recipes of Home Economic Teachers.” The little cookbook contains many of [...]

I’m featuring a cookbook Saturday in my Cookbook Corner column titled “Everyday Indian” by Bal Arneson. It has some fantastic recipes and since space is limited, will only be able to share a few with readers. As I often do, thought I would give blog readers a chance to try some of them. The one I’m [...]

It’s getting to be time for me to get a haircut, which gets me reminiscing… I remember my first real, not-just-a-trim haircut — also known as the worst haircut of my life. I was about 7, fresh from watching a Vandals football game and feeling particularly tomboyish. I wanted those long blonde (ratty, messy) waves chopped [...]
