Well, if you study food combinations, you learn that rice combines with several things to make a high-quality protein. Latin America lives on rice and beans, and so can we! This meant, [...] Growing up in southern Kansas, we called the one-dish meals “casseroles”; I understand that in some parts of the country, they are called “hot dishes”. Whatever you call them, they probably got started as a way to stretch the food dollar by combining a little bit of protein with a whole lot of what we [...] And, by the way, how do you spell it? I think this is the accepted form. Tomorrow is the first day of summer, and if you’re a gardener — or the friend of one– it’s not to early to start planning for National “Leave a Zucchini on Your Neighbor’s Porch” Week. I’ve actually never grown [...] We don’t let things go to waste in our house. Brown, slimy bananas mke great banana bread!

So I was interested to [...] Every body loves them, although I think one is enough — boy are they rich. Barb Gertz at Recipeczar.com has a really good recipe for Lavendar Lemon Bars; they raise the elegance bar (pun intended) a few notches. Mix 1/2 c. butter (no substitutes) Press in a [...] This is a much-requested recipe (at least as far as my children are concerned). I have seen it from several different sources (mags, etc.) but it’s pretty much PD now. (I hope.) Enjoy. Mix: 1/2 c. real mayo Cook 1 pound chicken breasts; cool, [...] My first trip to California was for my brother’s wedding in 1971 (72?).I thought, and still do, that San Diego was a beautiful city: palm trees and oleanders lining the streets, sunshine and lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
