Readers of my blog and weekly Cookbook Corner column often take me to task for not printing healthier recipes. I thought I would remedy that today by sharing a recipe I received from the editors of Heart-Healthy Living. There were several recipes in the pamphlet geared to people wanting to lose weight as well as to [...]

Since I’m still not moving around all that well after my broken hip surgery, I have tried to rearrange things for easy access. To that end, had a friend get one of my slow cookers out of the pantry last week and it now sets on the kitchen counter. So I was prepared when I ran [...]

Halloween is almost here! I don’t know about you but a night of costumes, candy, parties and fun, makes this scary night my favorite holiday. I love the idea of being someone else for a night and checking out everyone else’s getup. After debating dusting off my pirate costume I wore to a costume party [...]

Saturday is Baby Henry’s first Halloween. Between UI Homecoming events (go Vandals!), we’ll be wrapping him up in a Yoda costume and begging for treats. No, he will not eat them. Yes, I will. We’re lucky here on the Palouse to have an abundance of free or cheap Halloween events for people of all ages. The Roberts family [...]

I found a recipe in the November/December issue of Taste of Home’s Simple & Delicious magazine that I intend to try as soon as I can get to the store for the ingredients. Called Philly Steak Potatoes, it is a combination of two of my favorite foods — baked potatoes and Philly Steak sandwiches. Plus, it [...]

Besides a breathtaking skyline, stuffed pizza and hot dogs, and any store you could possibly imagination, Chicago also has a variety of entertainment options. My favorite this trip — watching The Second City’s “STUDS TERKEL’S NOT WORKING”. The show was part [...]

Before I posted to the blog today, I came across a recipe mailed to me from Hunter Public Relations firm on behalf of the McIlhenny Company, makers of Tabasco brand pepper sauce. The email noted that according to a recent survey, a quarter of Americans attested to consuming more pasta since the economic downturn. Enclosed was [...]

Since everyone I talk to recently complains about busy schedules, I thought it was time for another quick and easy recipe, so turned to a cookbook I’ve had for awhile titled, “Pillsbury 30-Minute Meals.” The recipe I’m sharing today is for a chicken wrap. Wraps continue to grow in popularity with all ages and those made [...]

I’m not exactly the home-decorating type. If I put up a picture and it’s not crooked, that’s a good thing. When I finally bought a cheap frame for my Simpsons parody of Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory,” instead of just tacking it to the wall, it was a big achievement. But when I go to someone’s [...]

Earlier this fall, I promised readers recipes for pumpkin and have been setting aside a number to post before Thanksgiving. As I’ve noted before, pumpkin just happens to be a favorite and it is doubtful I will run out of recipes calling for that ingredient! The recipe I’m sharing today comes from the October/November issue of [...]
