This salad recipe comes from the same friend who shared her chicken/poppy seed salad recipe from last week. She said she often serves them together with fresh crescent rolls.

Spinach, chopped/and mixed greens if desired 1 pt strawberries, sliced 1/4 c. sliced chopped onion 1/4 c. cooked bacon, crumbles 2 TSPS almond slices 2 TSPS sesame seeds Dressing 1/...

It’s that time of year to start using the prolific zucchini. It does freeze well if one wanted to grate it now to use later. There is a study available that says anything with zucchini in it reduces the calories by half (*See note below). There are a lot of chocolate zucchini cake recipes. This is one I have baked several times. If you are a small family or a single person that feels like a whole cake is too much, see #2 note below. ½ c. margarine (I always use butter) 2 ½ c. flour ½ c. cooking oil 1 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 c. sugar 1 tsp baki...

We all need our vegetables. I love vegetable salads at potlucks, but I confess to rarely making them at home, probably because it would take forever to finish it. So most of my vegetables are eaten cooked or raw and plain. I make this salad a lot for potlucks. Most times I have very little left. It is a great combination of sweet and salty. For those who don’t eat bacon, I don’t believe leaving it out compromises the flavor. I had to do a search for this recipe as I’ll be darned if I can find mine. My recipe drawer is much like my recipe box—w...

My breakfast almost always consists of toast with peanut butter and fruit. I am aware that it is a carb breakfast and I do occasionally add an egg. When I change it up, then I have pancakes or French toast. I do love a breakfast/dinner, though, with the works. Which brings me to this recipe. Once you eat homemade bread, it’s hard to go back to packaged bread. It seems summer is too hot to bake, but it will certainly help the bread to rise quickly. This recipe is one of my all-time favorites and doesn’t last long. If you like homemade bre...

He is the son of Eric and Kate Hockersmith of Waitsburg. Waitsburg High School announced its Honor R...
