The boys got to take their lariats home, where they...
Potatoes have recently been given away in just about every growing area. With schools shut down and restaurants on limited service, growers, brokers and processing facilities have more that they can sell.

Potato soup and casseroles can use up potatoes fast, but sunny weather has us t...

Earlier this year, 65 calves were born on their rangeland north of town. Three generations worked together to round up, corral and process the newest members of the herd.

Meetings will resume after the social distancing request has been lifted. It is most difficult for our members to s...

It is the beginning of salad season, but one more requested soup recipe from earlier soup suppers to start us off.

With a few spice and herb additions, it substitutes well for pizza sauce,...

Easter celebrations will be different for most this year. Social distancing and shortages of some grocery and household items has us all researching different ways to keep house and prepare meals. A number of folks have grown, purchased or received a gift of sourdough starter, a hedge against bread and yeast shortages. One question I have been asked often lately: What can we use the extra starter that builds up for, or do we just throw it away? There are a great number of...

So many are cooking from the pantry these days, and I have received a number of questions about substitutions and general cooking questions. I will try to cover as many as I can in the column, but do check the Welcome to My Kitchen Facebook page for additional information.

Cabbage Roll Soup 1 1/2 pounds ground beef Salt and Pepper 1 large...
