Apples and blackberries are abundant in October. But only because of your gentle care throughout the growing season. You may have babied the apple tree, shoeing away the squirrels and rabbits looking for a sweet treat. Maybe you lovenly covered it with a sheet when that late snow came in May. Well, all that paid off and your neighbors and family members are looking forward to tasting your efforts. Apple flavor complements berries perfectly. I am always afraid the crunch and tart of apples will...

If you read me every week, which I thank you for that, you know I mentioned the goto favorite family potluck dessert recipe. I found a chocolate version of my butterscotch hit on the internet called a “moon cake.” I substitute butterscotch for the chocolate because I have a good friend in Albin who, dare I say this out loud, hates chocolate. Yes, my friends, I welcome all as friends; democrats, Texas fans, but more importantly, I have taken someone offended by chocolate and love her with all...

The legend surrounding the “lady living in the moon” dates back to ancien...

What can you use in cakes, salads, breads, side dishes, main dishes, and face peels but yet everyone wants to give it away this time of year? Zucchini of course!

I never would have thought living in Wyoming, being raised a Cornhusker, and having my oldest call University of Wyoming Alma Mater would have ever caused a dilemma on a college football game day. But it has, twice in two years. In 2011, many of our Nebraska family and friends ventured up 7,250 feet to see the Cowboys compete but ultimately lose to the dominant top 25 team. Fast forward two years later, when our quarterback has had some “seasoning,” and the Cowboys travel down close to sea lev... Full story

Have you ever been “advised” or scolded about eating or drinking something you “shouldn’t?” Until a week ago, I was as free and willing with my intake of food as a dam door opening up after a heavy downpour allowing water to flow past. Anything, as long as it tasted good, was welcomed on my plate. However, due to age, genetics and too many years of leaving the “dam door” open, my doctor is advising me to “make some lifestyle changes.” Which means quit eating what you love. But does it? There ar...
