Snow Times By Hagen Taylor A boy named Logan built me. At night, I came to life. I want to tell you this story. One snowy night I heard a noise, it was a snow pup, and his name was Wild. We played fetch with a snowball. We played for a long time. He was a fun pal. One night Logan came by and saw that I was alive. We all played fetch and had fun. The next few weeks the weather changed. I said good bye to Logan and Wild. I’ll be back next year! Snowman By Logan Seal Once I was a tiny piece of snow falling on the ground. Two little boys started r...
My Favorite Recipe by Sawyer Nichols My favorite salad is my mom’s Grape Salad. One afternoon my mom wanted to make Grape Salad. The Grape Salad turned out really yummy. I really didn’t want to complain because I thought it was going to be disgusting, but when my mom was done making it, it was actually good. It was so good I actually ate more! I really liked her salad. I really liked the grape salad because it was so tasty. Ingredients: 2 cups of grapes 18oz cool whip 18oz cream cheese ¾ cup brown sugar 1 package of slivered almonds Dire...
Dear Grandma, The family is doing well and so are all 7 of the pets (2 dogs, 2 birds, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 rabbit). Our dogs sure have gotten bigger since the last time you saw them. Rocky (the reddish brown one) is taller than me if it stands on its back legs. Buster (the black and white one) is still kind of small, though. We are getting ready for the holidays, are you? Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! From, Julio Mercado Dear those who read, During April Fool’s Day, my dad pranked me by getting a chocolate bunny and f...

Sorry, but this doesn’t have a title. Melissa, who works at the Blue Mountain Station, made this squash in two very large pans for the Thanksgiving dinner that was served at our church. I asked her if I could have the recipe and she grabbed a few small pieces of paper and wrote it down. I recently asked if the recipe would make enough to fill those large pans and she said she cut it down to make a 9 x 13 inch pan. It was delicious and I think a perfect vegetable dish if you are having a holiday dinner, either with turkey or ham, if you like s...

My rotation for recipes is desserts, breads, entrees, and vegetables/fruits. The first two come easily, the last two I always have to dig up or think about. I grew up with plain vegetables, no sauces, no butter, and not a lot of variety. So when I saw a post from All Recipes for side dishes, I tapped into it. They are both small recipes therefore I think I can get away with two. I haven't tried either, but I do like brussel sprouts and green beans. And who doesn't like bacon? Fried Brussel sprouts 6 slices bacon, cut into bite size pcs 2 Tbsp...
