As readers know, I have been posting recipes the past week for Cinco de Mayo celebrations. I hadn’t intended any more and then received this recipe yesterday in a release from Elizabeth Edelman of www.DiabetesDaily.com.

It was a publication by the Auxiliaries of District 10, the Ladies branch of the Veterans for Foreign Wars. District 10 encompasses Clarkston and Pomeroy, as well as College Place and Walla Walla. Sometime back, I loaned the cookbook to [...]

Several years ago, I did a feature on a publication titled, “The Take-Out Menu Cookbook: How to Cook IN the foods you love to order OUT.” I was hooked when I saw it had a recipe for gyros that sounded much like the ones served up in downtown Moscow. It was an interesting little cookbook and [...]
