Prairie Fare: Foil Vegetable Packets

By Julie Garden-Robinson April 2, 2015

What should I grill for dinner tonight?” my husband asked the other day. I began naming a variety of possibilities. Then I paused and grinned. Buying him a grill for Father’s Day was the best gift I ever bought myself, our three kids and even our three dogs. We all enjoy the benefits of delicious

Prairie Fare: Reduced-Fat Morning Glory Muffins

By Julie Garden-Robinson March 6, 2015

Let’s starting cooking!” I said with enthusiasm to my daughter. “Mom, what’s the difference between cooking and baking?” my 11-year-old daughter asked.

Prairie Fare: Chocolate Bread Pudding

By Julie Garden-Robinson February 20, 2015

Does the bread have seeds in it?” my 11-year-old daughter asked. “The bread has no seeds,” I responded as I flipped the slices of french toast on the griddle. I am well aware that my youngest child does not like bread with added ingredients such as seeds and nuts. Usually she picks out all the

By Lorraine Stevenson January 16, 2015

Two emails popped into my box almost simultaneously this week. One came from someone whining about not being able to afford to fly somewhere warm, and how she couldn’t wait for winter to be over.
