If you’re like most, sometime this summer, you will go on a picnic. Sometimes, you are actually at a picnic but don’t take the time to call it that. Farmers get the “luxury” in their job description to “picnic” every day. Little children get such a kick out of the word, I think they’d be happy eating off a blanket in the kitchen three meals a day. But, for the interest of this conversation, let’s think more of planning to eat away from home for a neighboring town’s festival or a ball game. Just...

Bing! Bang! Boom! Snap! Crackle! Pop! Zing! Perhaps sounds at your breakfast table, but this is the season of the firework. The big bang. The loud boom. The glow in the dark and the puff of smoke on the sidewalk. We’d like to pay homage to those little “chicken screechers” and M98’s by celebrating the light and sound of the firework in print. In the next three weeks, we look forward to the hot day loaded with red, white and blue, chilled down by cool beverages and baked by hot grills in a three...
Yeah, right, you say. Like anyone can afford to eat out every night. My friends you can afford to eat out every night, outside on the deck. On almost every tip sheet to keep your house cooler in the warmer months is to eat cold food. I like cold food and it has its place, but every night? I’ll take the microwave before a weeks worth of cold cuts. How about some dinner ideas that don’t heat the house or your debit card by dining “out?” Everyone knows how to grill the main course. Today, let’s f...

Whether Memorial Day weekend finds you cleaning off the graves of loved ones, honoring our fallen military heroes, or possibly appreciating the great outdoors, the stomach will need to be remembered. What better way to honor our heroes than with recipes from each branch of the military. Army cooks have to nourish their soldiers for 10-mile pack runs. So, the heartier, the better. You might not want to eat like the Army everyday unless you are burning huge tanks of calories. Here is a “side d...
It is that time of the year when we send off young graduates to a world of unknowns. Maybe they enter the work force, military, or another level of education. Or some quite possibly enter the family room for a semester, a portion of time dedicated to finding self worth and a road map for their life while living at home. Wherever they go next, it’s nice to acknowledge their accomplishments up to this point in life with gifts of love. And in small towns where family and close relationships are f...

Mothers are often asked what they would like for their special day coming up Sunday. Most moms will say, “ Oh, nothing, dear, just knowing you love me is gift enough,” or something gushy like that. But as a mom, I think I can speak for some of us and say, it’d be really cool to have a fancy dinner made (and cleaned up) that I had nothing to do with. The modern holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother. Jarvis later campaigned to make “M... Full story

Ho, Ho, Ho! Yeah, no, I haven’t lost my calendar in the spring snow. I was trying for the “Green Giant.” Earth Day is Monday, April 22. A day for dusting off the carbon footprint on our boots and take a breath of fresh clean air Mother Nature provides for us. Recycling, using our bodies energy to get us where we are going instead of fuels, turning off the lights and turning on the solar panels are great ways to help momma earth stay clean. Another way to help the earth is to eat non-p...

The mild days, the spring blizzards, and the mud in the roads are calling the kids to play outside. It’s time to pucker those cheeks for a bit of a tart experience. Many dessert recipes call for the split personality plump berries that sprout in our fresh produce section this time of year. But those oddly round fruits with their sugary sweet exterior and the punch of tangy tart insides are a nifty addition to salads and main dishes, too. My family likes having fresh berries or any fruit on t...

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail, hip-pity hop-pity, Easter’s on its way! Now that the little jingle is lodged in your head, how about a story behind that egg-dropping hare. And maybe a couple of recipes to serve Peter or anyone else who might happen by on Sunday. An ancient Anglo-Saxon myth says that Ostara is the personification of the rising sun, and associated with spring. Ostara is considered to be a fertility goddess and a friend of all children. To amuse them, s...
