Spring is trying to burst forth, but we do live in Eastern Washington, so anything can happen weather-wise. Spring brings new, fresh food items to market. Lamb chops, roasts and other cuts are more prevalent at large supermarket meat counters this time of year, and some families include roast lamb in their Easter menu. Roasting lamb is not hard, but requires a bit more roasting time per pound that other red meats. This is because lamb is not as marbled with fat as beef and...

Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. This makes celebrating with dinner out more feasible on the holiday than when it falls midweek. For others, ball games, work schedules or just not wanting to navigate the crowds, means preparing meals at home. With a little ingenuity, you can still make the meals special. Cutting cheese slices, lunch meat, even the whole sandwiches in heart shapes is a fun treat. Heart shaped cookie cutters may be used to cut brownies, Rice K...

Winter weather and hot meals go together. Meatloaf, casseroles, soups and stews, top the list of requested recipes, whether one is using a conventional range, slow-cooker or insta-pot.

The recipe gives instructions for oven baking, but it works equally well in a slow cooker. The mozzarella cheese and seasonings give a pizza like flavor. Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf...
