Judging food contests tempts the plate

By Julie Garden-Robinson July 24, 2015

My job has a few perks, and judging the occasional food contest ranks among them. I have judged potatoes, beef, ham and pies, to name a few. I judged another food contest a couple of weeks ago. All of the food entries were numbered and placed on tables, and our team of three judges studied[...]

By Julie Garden-Robinson May 29, 2015

Did you notice the amount of weight on the machine?” my husband asked. I was trying to push the handles on the weight machine forward. I would have had equal success moving a wall. I had plopped myself onto the seat of the weight machine without looking at the settings. I knew better. Starting with[...]

Foods that help you take care of your eyes

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 26, 2015

Mom, I’ll help you,” my 11-year-old daughter said. I think I detected a smirk on her face. “No, I can do it,” I replied with a bit of determination in my voice. “No, really, I can do it for you,” my daughter persisted. She definitely had a smirk on her face this time. I squinted,[...]

Do you know the four Cs of grilling success?

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 19, 2015

While growing up in Minnesota, having a “barbecue” meant having a bun with a cooked mixture of ground beef, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and some spices.

Do you remember the “telephone” game? You might have played it when you were a kid. In the game, one person whispers a message into the ear of the person next to him or her, then that person repeats the message to the person next to him or her and so on. By the end[...]

Have you applauded a cow lately?

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 12, 2015

As I finished my glass of ice-cold milk, I thought about my now 20-year-old son’s comments many years ago. He always has enjoyed milk. When he was a toddler, we would hear his tiny voice saying “want milk” in the early-morning hours. He wanted his milk and cereal pronto. One day, as our toddler gazed[...]

By Julie Garden-Robinson May 15, 2015

As I perused my cupboards and storage pantry the other day, I found several boxes of cereal. Some were unopened and some had folded-down wrappers with half of the contents waiting to be devoured. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don’t think my family is alone in having some half-full cereal boxes in our[...]

Are we going to buy a pallet of baked beans today?” my husband teased. I grabbed the handle of the van-sized grocery cart and began strolling through the towers of food in the warehouse where food is sold in bulk quantities. I put a large bag of avocados in my cart even though I had[...]
