It’s always a good day for me when I receive a Taste of Home magazine and Wednesday was especially interesting when I settled in with the August/September issue. As always, it was crammed with good tips and recipes, but one section appeared to be geared to this column where I usually try to present inexpensive, [...]

Several years ago, I did a food article on then-teenager Jeff Wheeler of Pullman. He was a member of the Pullman High School track team as well as a number of other activities, but Jeff was also as accomplished cook which set him apart from the average 17-year old. For some reason, Jeff crossed my mind [...]

While looking through some old files Tuesday, I came across a pie recipe that seemed perfect to prepare on a hot summer day. Not only is in easy to assemble, you don’t even have to turn on the oven! The recipe is from a cookbook I featured in my column several years ago titled, “Best of [...]

I shared a recipe earlier this month for one of my favorite iced coffee drinks. From the response, it apparently appealed to readers, so I thought I would offer another. The one below is from the August issue of Bon Appétit magazine and although it is a bit more complicated to make than the one I [...]

As promised last week, am sharing another recipe from “The Creech Family Cookbook,” a commemorative little publication I helped compile over two decades ago for a reunion of my dad’s side of the family. The pie recipe below is from one of my favorite aunts, the late Ann Creech. She had this pie at our 1988 [...]

I thought of a breakfast casserole I’d tried a couple of years ago, really liked, but never made again. I [...]

I had a friend call today wanting to borrow a cookbook I’ve had for several years titled, “Camp Cooking: 100 Years” put out by The National Museum of Forest Service History. She was going on a camping trip with her family this weekend and had remembered my mentioning the good and easy cinnamon roll recipe. Since [...]

I came across a great salad recipe Tuesday in the 2006 National Lentil Festival Cookbook and I know firsthand that it is a keeper as I was one of the judges at the event. Not only is this salad tasty, but it can be made a day ahead of serving and as the contributor notes, makes [...]

It is the season for family reunions, an event that is becoming more frequent with people I have encountered of late. The majority of my family still lives back East so attending such reunions isn’t an annual happening. But I am reminded of a cookbook I helped compile in August 1988 titled, “The Creech Family [...]

Then you’ll want to read my Cookbook Corner column in Saturday’s Slice Section. I’m featuring a new cookbook by Susie Norris called “Chocolate Bliss.” Since both column and blog readers know of my chocolate addiction by now those like-minded folks know I wouldn’t steer them wrong when it comes to what ancients referred to as [...]
