I hadn’t thought about granola for a very long time, until my daughter-in-law mentioned she had it and how good it was. I asked her to share the recipe, and I had remembered I had seen my old granola recipe not too long ago. I must have been about her age when I started making it. There are many variations you can make, according to your taste. I will share her recipe and the one I have had for 40 years. They change only in the amounts of oil and sugar—well, I guess in the other ingredients also. Granola - from Alma 5 cups oats ½ c. grou...

I was needing to make something for the church coffee hour. This recipe came to my email, via All Recipes. I have had it before and remembered I liked it, and thought this would kill two birds with one stone. It would be my vegetable recipe also. It's probably not one that you would make at home to eat, as it fills a baking sheet. The recipe says 9 x 13, but my baking sheet was a 10 x 13 and it still could have been a bit bigger. It would make a nice recipe for a gathering or luncheon. One...

This week's recipe is cinnamon bread, because it came into my email and I can't resist fresh bread. In case you are wondering, the "1" added to the name probably means it is one of many. I wish I was drawn to entrees or salad recipes, but, no, it's desserts and breads. I made a cinnamon coffee cake last week. I remembered, then, I didn't care for it the first time so I threw the recipe away, in case my memory was short again. This one is a keeper, light but not too sweet. I am still eating on...
Ten Years Ago April 5, 2007 Should Markeeta Little Wolf’s preliminary 15-vote-lead over Mayor Marty Dunn in the 2007 Waitsburg City Election hold, the election will go down in the history books for its number of firsts: Waitsburg’s first female mayor, Waitsburg’s first mayor of Native American heritage, Waitsburg’s first African-American Councilman, and it would be the first time that an incumbent mayor seeking re-election was unseated. Spring is in the air this week and along with the sunshine, breezes and sounds of farming operations coming...

There is a story behind this recipe that is more of a “here is what you start with” recipe. My friend, we shall call him Fred, and his wife, we will call her Shirley, shared this over conversation. For reasons we won’t get into, their real names can’t be used in the newspaper. Fred was eating lunch one day, and after a comment from me, told me what was in his lunch (that he could remember). In the conversation, he told me Shirley roasted the beans, except for the kidney beans. That had me intrigued, as I had not heard of roasting garbanz...

I mentioned I would share the chicken enchiladas recipe this week, though I confess I did not make it. It came from All Recipes, with a 4.5 star and commented that it was an easy and quick dinner. I received the nicest phone call from a lady who told me she really likes the Frittata recipe, and shared that she added Italian seasoning (a tablespoon if I remember correctly). What a great feedback. I don't think I would have thought to add that seasoning, but next time I will. Also, for those who have stopped me and told me they have enjoyed...

I apologize. I said this week would be chicken enchiladas, but having recently been through and over the flu, I couldn’t quite think about them, so I chose a carb. I found this recipe in a carpet cleaning pamphlet. [Huh? – Ed.] I had all the ingredients---except whole wheat flour and buttermilk. I purchased a couple of cups of whole wheat flour from one of the bulk bin stores, and canned powdered buttermilk that I usually have on hand. Buttermilk is rarely thought of except in baking (in my household). I’ll give you an easy substitution that...
