The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Seriously, a pie crust.  Everyone has their favorite recipe, many handed down. In Home Ec, we were taught the basic 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup shortening, salt, water version. This one is similar, but...

Who doesn’t like an apple fritter? As I mentioned, I wanted to make it first. Well, the loaf is half gone!!!! Thank goodness I have an in-house taster.  I saw a recipe come to my email for a...

I almost put in a recipe for Apple Fritter Bread but wanted to make it first! For those who love Brussels sprouts, this will give you something new to do with them, those who don’t (thinking of...

I didn’t make this and I’m not sure I will because I’d probably eat the whole thing. Or I might make it and put it in baggies to give away, if there is enough left over to do so.  I think...

Don’t be turned off by the list of ingredients. This goes together quickly. It had a five-star rating and we really liked it. Since rice takes 20 minutes, get that started first. I got the...

WORLD WIDE WEB-By now, you might've seen a certain viral video floating around the web. Or perhaps not, it's a big internet world out there. The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company posted a video to...

I put this into the recipe column probably last fall or so. Believe it or not, fall is almost here and this recipe is very fall-ish. Acorn squash and apples. Speaking of apples, it’s time to...

Push the Staples Easy Button on this one!! I’ve done a few French toast casseroles, including a blueberry cream cheese one. This casserole makes its own syrup on the bottom with brown sugar and...

This caught my eye so I decided to make it. I’ve never picked blackberries before. I asked my friend if she had them on her property. She said she had lots and be sure to wear long sleeves and...

Another one I didn’t make, and probably won’t as it has sour cream, but it got 5 stars. Some of the reviews mentioned adding bacon and cheese, and more seasonings. I’m sure like most salads,...

Well, this is a combination I would not have thought of, but apparently it’s not uncommon. I didn’t make it this weekend but I may later. I love a good peach, love a fresh tomato so the...

“These really taste like crab cakes but without the crab, and are a really good way to utilize that bumper crop,” says Patty Jo on All Recipes.com. This recipe caught my attention for several...

I never really liked Swedish meatballs all that much, until a college buddy’s German mom cooked them for dinner one night while I was visiting in Bellingham. (Does this mean they are actually...

I have posted this one before and made it this weekend because I harvested my first zucchini. So many choices as to what to make with zucchini! I decided, going with the theme of Farm to Table, I...

I saw this recipe and decided to make it for a couple of reasons. First, Joe likes anything lemon, and second, those readymade pie crusts come two in a box. I made last week's recipe with one of them...

I have shared this before. Always I get compliments to say it is the best-baked beans they’ve ever had. There are a lot of great baked bean recipes. This one is unusual as it has pineapple, onion,...

I bought some local strawberries and have really been smitten by the fresh, fruity, and sweet taste. We cut them up, add a bit of sugar, and put them on whatever we can find. I recently made the...

I'm on a roll with these old recipe cards. One of my hometown friends, Audrey, shared this one with me. She said her mom used to make it for dessert for the family. Looks like she kept the card or...

How have I lived this long and never heard of Ranger cookies? The Cookie Monster has nothing on me when it comes to cookies. While on one of my recent walks, I chatted with Claudia (socially distant)...

Thank you for those who give me feedback on my recipes. Katheryn sent me a note on the Pecan Sandies and said she eliminated the nuts and used all butter instead of part oil and part butter and they...

Doesn't that sound yummy? OMG. There is also a recipe for just rhubarb butter and one that is similar that takes only rhubarb, strawberry, honey and chia seeds, mixed and put into the refrigerator. Th...

The following pictures of the recipe sent to me represent many things. First one of my best friends in Cheney shared this with me. Robyn and I got acquainted when we were both in the hospital having...

I made this a few days ago because I had some asparagus to use up, plus I had all the ingredients, except half and half, but used milk. I even had an unbaked (bought) pie crust in the freezer that nee...

Just a simple cake that will make everybody very happy! Equipment: 1 muffin pan or 1 small cake pan, greased and floured (or use cooking spray) 1 small sauce pan 1 toothpick For the cake: 3 egg yolks...
