The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Does your Thanksgiving always include sweet potatoes? Is it the recipe with the marshmallows on top? This sounds really good. I read the reviews and I’m glad I did. It was given a 5 star which is as g...

Let’s all acknowledge that there are just some things that stand the test of time as perfect partners. Who can argue the perfection of peanut butter & jelly, bacon & eggs; where would we be without P...

Albondagas means “meatball” in Spanish. This is considered a Mexican soup. What caught my attention originally, was I thought the description said rice meatballs, thinking it was rice balls for...

My fear of using the pressure cooker is rational and understandable. My first experience with this kitchen monster, was when my mother was in a rush to make chicken soup; she decided to use the...

I had put a recipe in called the same, though it was a little more complicated. I found this handwritten one in my recipe drawer and it’s the one I had made before. One can’t get more “fall” than ap...

While drinking my morning coffee, a “news story” posted by VOX Media popped up on my phone. The article asks the question “is it possible that the dinner party has died with the millennial gener...

I am totally going to try this. We have a church potluck coming up next Sunday, and it’s a breakfast potluck, I’m declaring this to be also ok for a morning treat. I was going to put in the Pum...

This recipe, or perhaps a combination of, is being shared by Joe, who makes great dinners, and I make great breads and desserts. He looks up, for instance, recipes for butternut squash soup, and...

A number of years ago I was asked to cater a very formal dinner party. To be absolutely sure we didn't embarrass ourselves-or worse the hostess, I purchased a used copy of Miss Manners' Guide to...

Sent to me by Jean Nelson and to her “from my sister-in-law’s mother, Salma Julian” I have put this in before. It’s a great cake that doesn’t need frosting, in my opinion. It has a lot of grated ap...

The holidays are approaching, and I was asked to offer some recipes for the holiday. I guess the first holiday approaching is Halloween. This is the easy one, the only thing you need is candy! So, on...

I thought I had put this recipe in before, but I don’t see that I did. If you are still getting zucchini and thinking of ways to use it, then here is another zucchini bread recipe. I’ve made it and...

First, I made the zucchini soup this weekend, adding potatoes like Wendy did. The crockpot was full. I added a lot of fresh tomatoes we needed to use up and added water, as the can of tomatoes didn't...

I ran this recipe in 2017, but Julie B asked me for it again. A while ago, I accidently deleted my recipe file, then deleted my recycle bin file. I was able to find it in our Dropbox application, so...

Now that summer has dropped off into a very abrupt fall, it's time for warm cozy comfort foods, and more importantly, pie. I had a few delicious bites at the Pioneer Fall Festival and now I want...

While Teeny's away I'm tipping open my recipe box to share one that never ceases to amaze. My Honeybee thought this up many years ago in Seattle and suggested it for dinner one night when I,...

This is on my dinner menu tonight so I will be able to tell you if it’s any good. Or if it isn’t, find another recipe. It has all the ingredients that go well together and I have an over-large zuc...

Before I share this recipe (again) I will share with you a feedback I received in the email. When I copy recipes off any website, I read a few of the reviews which are helpful. So this would be like...

I've never heard of a bread with peaches so this caught my eye. I decided I'd better try the recipe first. I had everything I needed except the cream cheese, which is not often in my refrigerator. I...

I tasted these at our church potluck and asked for the recipes. I received them last Sunday, handwritten on a bright yellow sheet of paper, without a lot of detailed directions, as you find in today’s...

I’m sure I have shared this before, but I didn’t see it in my recipe file. A while ago, I accidently deleted my file, then deleted the trash file. Joe was able to retrieve most, but I think some nev...

I debated about whether or not to rerun the recipe for the Lemon Refrigerator Cake, which is light and served chilled and always a hit, but this recipe showed up in my feed. Joe will tell you I...

Since we had picked some fresh peaches that were “bend-over” peaches (so good), this caught my eye. I was torn between something pertaining to wheat harvest, then decided on this one, which I gue...

Chickpea Crunch 1 can or 1 ½ cups fresh chickpeas ½ teaspoon paprika ½ tsp chili powder ½ tsp garlic powder 1 pinch coarse sea salt 1 tbsp canola oil Preheat oven to 375...
