Lately, you might have heard or read about a recall of cucumbers imported from Mexico that reached various U.S. restaurants and retail stores. At the time of this column, 341 people in 30 states were sickened[...]

Trick-or-treat season calls for moderation

By Julie Garden-Robinson October 30, 2015

Mom, they’re not noticing me!” my 12-year-old daughter said with a loud sigh as she looked into her nearly empty pumpkin pail. We were watching a parade, and some of the people on the parade floats were tossing out items such as footballs, stickers and candy. “Let’s straighten your bison hat. Be sure to smile,[...]

How to fight the flu

By Julie Garden-Robinson November 13, 2015

Lately, people have been sniffling and coughing around me. I practically run down the hallway to escape the germs. I thought about barricading my office door or wearing a surgical mask. I’m really not a “germophobe.” I had the flu a couple of years ago and was bedridden for four days after not using any[...]

Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?

By Julie Garden-Robinson October 16, 2015

As I looked up at our apple tree with its big red apples, I was carried back in time to a memory of my children’s younger years. They usually help with the apple harvest if we have a good year. They have learned about a lot of things in the process. “I want to pick[...]

Music is good for your health

By Julie Garden-Robinson October 9, 2015

I heard a high-pitched “beep beep beep” sound one day while I read the newspaper. I could tell the sound did not emanate from the smoke detector, the timer on our oven or the alarm on our refrigerator door. What was beeping? I didn’t smell smoke, so I didn’t rise from my chair. As I[...]

Have you tried quinoa?

By Julie Garden-Robinson September 4, 2015

Whenever I see the word “quinoa” (pronounced keen-wa), I think of my younger daughter’s reaction to it when I brought some home the first time. She was curious about a food with a name that began with the letter “q.” She began studying the package. I had done my homework before my purchase, so I[...]

Tips on naturally recycling your kitchen wastes

By Julie Garden-Robinson July 3, 2015

Julie, Julie, how does your garden grow?” people often ask me when inspired by my maiden name. Yes, that reminds me of the “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” nursery rhyme. Fortunately, people leave out the “quite contrary” part. Well, they usually do. This year, my garden has hosted rabbits enjoying buffets[...]

Try a new sandwich during 'National Sandwich Month’

By Julie Garden-Robinson August 7, 2015

As I was eating a “fancy” grilled cheese sandwich the other day at a hotel restaurant, I thought of the grilled cheese sandwiches of my childhood. The hotel sandwich had some kind of cream sauce, about five kinds of cheese and sliced tomatoes inside. I paid way too much for it. Although I usually eat[...]

How can you tame a sweet tooth?

By Julie Garden-Robinson July 31, 2015

Mom, why are they called cookies instead of ‘bakies?’” my 17-year-old daughter asked me. She was scooping cookie dough onto a tray for a 4-H food entry in the fair. “You bake cookies. You don’t cook them,” she continued. She likes to test me with unusual questions on a regular basis. I pondered her question[...]
