Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday. Mom might like a batch of Steel-cut Oatmeal Granola Bars for quick snacks or lunch time fare. Several weeks ago, they were a number of granola recipes in a Spokesman Review article. Most contained expensive ingredients not readily available locally, but several called for steel-cut oats. What I did learn from the article is that toasting the steel-cut oats before adding them to any recipe allows them to take on flavors and absorb liquid b...

And in Florida, a new law is going to make it much easier for foster kids to do normal things like sleepovers with their friends and school field trips,” she says. “In Nebraska, they’re close to boosting the pay for foster parents, which w...

Hardt said she ran the scales during harvest and sold the wheat and wrote checks to the farmers. During the last couple of years, CWGG was putting in a new computer system,...
Slow-cooker meal preparation fits nicely into spring activity schedules, allowing home cooked meals to be ready when a quick dinner is required.

First on the menu this week is a correction. I omitted part of a sentence in the cooking instructions for Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

Sprouts should be browned and very dark on the edges. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. Start your day with Amish Baked Oatmeal, a recipe submitted by K...

Recently, the Friends of the Library were able to invite storyteller extraordinaire, David Crouch, to entertain many in...

Either way this yummy, Chunky Apple Cake recipe, submitted by Kathy Jantz, is perfect for late winter and early spring. Additionally it just might be the recipe Nancy Liner has been searching for. The ingredients are the same and if one makes the small goof that Nancy reported making, the results would be the same. Nancy’s error, she reported, was m...
