I found this recipe in the Costco Connection and I liked that it used apple and cucumber. Remember the chicken poppy seed salad? It seems several chicken recipes have nuts and fruit. That one had pecans and grapes. I didn't make this one yet but will later. For me, this will be used as a salad. A few notes on cashews: Cashews are packed with antioxidants, vitamins E. K. and B6, and minerals such as copper, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and iron. Many of these can be hard to find in other foods....
Ten Years Ago-September 4, 2008 Progress on the “Paint the Town” Project has built some momentum with pledges of paint, discounts and cash. Project volunteers met with building owners to make color decisions this week, so painting can begin in earnest this weekend. Buildings that are planned for painting this weekend are the EZ Way, Farmers Café’, and the Weller Library. Prep work will be done on the Whoopem Up Hollow Café, jimgermanbar, AMO Art and the Cenex Station over the next week so they will be ready for painting the following weekend...
I had asked for zucchini recipes a few weeks ago. When I got to work last week, this, along with another one was typed on a sheet of paper and dropped through the mail slot. Sherri Erikson had her number on the bottom of the page, so I gave her a call to ask a few questions. She also gave me a recipe for Cheesy Green Chile Zucchini Soup that she said is great. Now that it is cooling off a bit, I think I will try it next. I do need some zucchini, though, hint hint. ***See below my review of last...

This almost seems like not really a recipe as, in my opinion, pasta salads are a catchall. But I thought this might give someone an idea on what to fix and use some of the fresh vegetables of the season. I will make this next week for our church potluck luncheon, though the dressing I might tweak a bit. INGREDIENTS 8 oz pasta 1 tsp dried basil 4 Tbsp olive oil salt to taste 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar ground black pepper to taste ½ c. whole corn kernels, cooked 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 4 tomatoes, chopped 2 tsps chopped fresh basil...

These are easy-peasy and quick to make. The story behind it is maybe longer. I was having a LuLaRoe party Sunday and was looking for some desserts to make. I found one that was similar to this but had a peanut butter cream cheese filling with a chocolate top. So I went to the store and got the chocolate chips and cream cheese. Then couldn't find the recipe again. I didn't save it. Googled the ingredients. Nothing looked like the one I found so decided to do this one. Now I have two packages of...
As a bread maker, I've never given much thought to what types of wheat make what kind of flour. My use of baking flour consists of going to the store and getting all-purpose flour and occasionally, venturing out to whole wheat flour. My knowledge of wheat was simply watching the hills go from green to gold. Until last year, I did not know how the wheat got into the grain elevators, visualizing some huge vacuum that took it from the truck to those large cylinders. The business side of me...
Last year, when I talked to ladies about harvest and cooking, I missed Barbara Cockburn Danforth, as she was not available. Her daughter, Susie Payne, shared that her mom was brought up in the days of mules pulling the harvest equipment, so I was looking forward to hearing about those times. As one who didn't live through those times, I'm always impressed at how much work they did and how little they complained. Barbara told me her folks (Jack and Ada Cockburn) moved to Waitsburg in 1928, and...
Did you cringe when you read that? Or did it pique your interest? For me, I thought it sounded interesting. I've seen recipes with Coke and there are many recipes that have a sweet sauce on meat. So Sunday is a good day to try something different. It takes three cans of Root Beer, which is a little over three dollars bought for the three. Somehow, I need to erase my memory of prices never to be seen again. Note on recipe-These are great for outdoor grilling, simple and tasty. INGREDIENTS: 4...
We all need our vegetables. I love vegetable salads at potlucks, but I confess to rarely making them at home, probably because it would take forever to finish it. So most of my vegetables are eaten cooked or raw and plain. I make this salad a lot for potlucks. Most times I have very little left. It is a great combination of sweet and salty. For those who don’t eat bacon, I don’t believe it compromises the flavor. I had to do a search for this recipe as I’ll be darned if I can find mine. My recipe drawer is much like my recipe box—what got use...
This gave me an idea for dinner. It sounded different and tasty. I hadn't had curry anything for quite a while. This is what the recipe said: "So easy to make, yet so darn tasty. Guaranteed to please." It calls for five tablespoons of curry sauce. I looked for it and didn't find it (in a jar) so we made the curry sauce from scratch. I think this is meant for a quick and easy dinner, and would have been if we used already prepared curry sauce. I'll give you the original and let you decide. The...
After last week's long recipe, this will be short, comparatively. It is the old fashioned Bisquick coffee cake recipe that used to be on the box and no longer is. I was looking for something quick and easy for coffee hour that I didn't have to go to the store for. We had a large box of Bisquick we had not used for awhile, so went with that. Speaking of "awhile", there are two types of people: those who believe that a pull date or expiration date is there for a reason (which is me) and those who...
This recipe sounded pretty good and straightforward, so I threw it out there for dinner a few days ago. However, we made a simpler version, which I will share in my notes. It came out delicious, with enough for leftovers, which are always good because you get a free pass for "what's for dinner." INGREDIENTS: 2 pounds lean ground beef 1 c. sliced fresh mushrooms 1/3 c. finely chopped green bell pepper 1 c. sour cream 1/3 c. finely chopped onion ½ c. milk 2 eggs 2 Tbsp browning sauce 1...
No Wheat, No Sugar, No Diary! Delicious I debated whether to put this recipe into this week's column because I haven't made it to say if it is good or not. And I probably won't. I saw this on Facebook and thought of the many who cannot have the above three mentioned, wheat, sugar, and diary. I worry that my recipes are mostly about me and what I like and because I do not have food sensitivities. I also learned some new things when googling the ingredients. I did not know that there are...
These were served at our church coffee hour and were very tasty. The comment was that these could replace sugary desserts and also have nutritional value. I am a confessed sugar addict. I plan my nighttime tea and desserts like some do their drug addiction. If there is no dessert, then there is always plain ol' chocolate chips. So the goal is to reduce the sugar intake, and these seem to be a good start. I have all the ingredients and I like everything in them. The recipe says it makes 20....
A Mediterranean salad made with chickpeas, black beans, lots of fresh herbs and lemon juice. I saw a piece of paper in the fax, and 99.9% of the time it is insurance advertisement or wonderful trips for unbelievable prices. I was surprised to see this recipe. I'm not sure if someone faxed it to me, because it came with no note, but I took it as a sign that it needed to go in this week. For several reasons. It is listed as a gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan side, salad, or dip option to serve at Super Bowl. The other reason is I didn't have...
While putting away a recipe booklet, I noticed a recipe with sweet potatoes, pecans and blue cheese, and thought, 'what an interesting combination.' I had all the ingredients except the blue cheese so picked that up. I had yams instead of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes will add a lot of color to your plate, unlike my picture. I thought the recipe might be complicated, but it isn't. First step, put the potatoes and onions in the oven, and while that is baking, sugar the pecans and cool, then put...
Dorothy Dean---Does that name sound familiar? When I was somewhat newly-married and had a young family, the Spokesman Review featured recipes from Dorothy Dean. They sent out pages that used the alphabet as their organizer. Every letter had an index of recipes, organized as to which collection it was-Cookies, Candies, Salads, Meat, etc, with specials like Baby Shower recipes. So it would be A-1, A-2, etc. I don't think I have all but I'm sure I have 80% of them. I can't remember if there was a cost or simply a sign up to receive these pages,...
First, I have not made last week's soup recipe, because I had not picked up the garam masala spice, only to find out that my back alley neighbor has some she is willing to share so I will make the soup soon. I have not made this recipe either, but will for the church potluck. I think this is an old recipe that has been around for a while. Some of the comments were that it is a tradition for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas gatherings. I would think also for a Valentine's get together. They call it a salad, though I think it fits into the dessert...
This is a favorite with my kids and requested every year, along with my dinner rolls, and this year, the sweet potato dish with marshmallows. I have made my dinner rolls for a long time, but this time, it seemed all the stars were not aligned as the bottoms burnt and they didn’t rise as much. Sigh! All the time, ingredients, and cost that goes into them and they were a failure. I’m not sure if I will have time to redo or not. I posted my tragic day on Facebook and by the response, I had good company. This recipe has several names and Chex mix...
Almond Roca 1 c. butter 1 c. blanched, toasted 1 1/3 c. sugar almonds, toasted 3 Tbsp water 4 (4 ½ oz) Hershey bars 1 Tbsp light corn syrup 1 c. finely chopped almonds Melt butter, add sugar, syrup and water. Cook to hard crack stage, 310 degrees (do not cheat on temperature). Quickly stir in coarse chopped almonds. Spread on ungreased pan. Pour ½ of chocolate on top. When it is set, turn and put chocolate on other side. Add finely chopped nuts. When chocolate is set, break into pieces. Whenever making candies, a heavy duty pan is a must -...
This caught my eye, though I haven't made it yet. I've made burritos that are eaten by hand. I'd say these are more burritos/enchiladas combo. The recipe says it makes eight servings. So for us, that will mean left overs. INGREDIENTS: 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 ½ c. cooked rice 1 lb lean ground beef 2 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend ½ c. diced onion 1 can Old El Paso enchilada sauce 1 pkg Old El Paso taco seasoning mix Optional-chopped cilantro leaves ½ c. water lime wedges 1 pkg Old El Paso flour tortillas (8") 1 c. Old El...
One of my many downfalls is cinnamon anything, but cinnamon rolls are on the top of that list. I prefer mine to be a sweet roll with plenty of cinnamon and no frosting, please. When I saw this recipe I thought, if it has buttermilk as an ingredient then it has to be a light, not heavy, dough, and I was right. It also used brown sugar which I had not used before. I thought I'd give it a try. And thankfully, I have a handy taster, Joe. When he went for his third roll, I knew they were a success....
It was almost exactly a year ago I shared this recipe so if it sounds like a repeat, it is. It is a good recipe for this time of year because squash and apples are fall items so I thought I'd repeat it. INGREDIENTS: 2 acorn squash-halved and seeded 4 oz mushrooms, chopped 1 TBSP butter, melted 2 apples, cored and chopped ¼ tsp garlic salt 1 c. fine breadcrumbs ¼ tsp sage ½ tsp sage 1 lb. pork sausage (regular seasoning) salt and pepper ½ c. onion 1 egg beaten 1 celery rib, finely chopped 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley,...
