As readers know, I spent last week in Spokane with my brother and although he outdid himself with Thanksgiving dinner, I was stricken with a gall stone attack Thursday and ended up spending two days in the hospital. When I was released Saturday, I was feeling much better and was able to make up for my [...]

I’ve been dreaming of turkey for a while now, and tomorrow’s the Big Day. I have to work in the evening, but thankfully, my family is getting together at my auntie’s house here in Moscow this year for our Thanksgiving meal — so stuffed I shall be. But what about those folks on their own who [...]

I’ve been saving this recipe to share with readers before Thanksgiving. I am going on vacation next week to spend the holiday with my brother, so this is the last blog posting until Nov. 30. It’s not Thanksgiving dinner unless there is a sweet potato dish on the table and the following has become a family [...]

Since the big day is only a week away, it’s not too soon to start making plans for leftovers. Not surprising, Taste of Home Magazine’s October/November issue has a sandwich suggestion that contributor Judy Wilson of Sun City West. Arizona describes as “pure heaven,” especially with her cranberry pecan mayonnaise. It sounded almost better to me [...]

While I still had the old Betty Crocker Cookbook “Simple Winter Meals” within easy reach, I thought I would share another easy recipe from the chapter titled “Simple Suppers.” I shared one with readers earlier this month. This little recipe takes only 10 minutes to put together and is the perfect solution for this time of [...]

I worked out this morning for the first time in a looooong time. It was only 10 minutes, but hey, that’s not bad. Baby Henry and I spent the summer burning calories with long walks all over town, but now the rain and snow are keeping us indoors more often (though we brave it sometimes!) I’m [...]

A non-stop schedule today caused me to do my daily posting later than usual, so please forgive me. Holiday invitations are already coming in and interestingly; the format has changed on some — people opting to do potlucks, even businesses. So I thought I would share a good recipe if you happen to be attending such [...]

I knew I wasn’t the only person relying on a slow cooker to keep her going during these cold wintry days. Today, I received a press release from Hunter Public Relations in New York City regarding a recent national survey that showed 27 percent more Americans were using their slow cookers more frequently since the [...]

Six years ago in my Cookbook Corner column, I reviewed Taste of Home’s “2004 Annual Recipes” cookbook and like all of their publications, it contained some terrific recipes. Since Christmas is rapidly approaching, I discovered a recipe from the cookbook I thought worth sharing. I have made the peppermint candy and it is easy to put [...]

Since Thanksgiving is only two weeks away, it’s time to get serious about the holiday menu. Since stuffing, or dressing as we called it in southern Ohio, is one of my favorite side dishes I began looking for some good recipes to share. One of the more interesting ones I came across was featured in the [...]
