“Christmas Time’s a Comin’…..Home for the Holidays”, familiar lines from popular Christmas songs, sounds, sights and aromas bring visions of seasonal delights to our minds. Time to get out your holiday recipes and plot a baking plan. I’ve added a new favorite to my list of Christmas recipes. Faux Pecan Pie was a hit with the family at Thanksgiving.

Several requests for sugar free recipes have come in over the past two weeks. The holiday baking season is fast approaching, and folks who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes are struggling to find suitable recipes to replace traditional sweets. I have found that it is best to use recipes developed by the sugar free sweetener companies, as each product is a bit different, and none of them cook up the same as granulated beet or cane sugar.

Moving to Odessa for our retirement has not been what we expected. The people here have been wonderful. It is great to be with family again. 'But' when Dr. Powell had Tom flown out in "lifebird" on a warm and moonlit August night, I had no idea what was in store for us as a family. Stroke had not been a part of the retirement plan. The stroke was bad. As I drove back and forth every day to Spokane for 2 and a half months, I saw my husband deteriorate before my eyes. The neurologist took me to the side and said, "I don't know...

Four children were born during their married life –Alvin D. in 1931, Marvin in 1932 and the twins Marciel & Maurice in 1933. The Frederick school was closed prior to 1931, therefore from 1931 to 1951, the children of Reuben & Elizabeth – Alvin D., Marvin, Marciel and Maurice attended the schools in Odessa while living with their parents on the Lin...

Winter apples are at their prime and these tart, crisp varieties are perfect for cakes, crisps and pies. Joyce McClanahan brought an Upside Down Apple Cake to a recent potluck meal and it garnered several requests for the recipe. Joyce found the recipe on www.relish.com, a great site for seasonal recipes. Recipe directions call for preparing in a cast iron skillet to caramelize the apple layer. I used a heavy non-stick skillet with oven safe handle instead and it worked fine....
