Hey, hungry Resident readers! I recently bought that video game where you get to cook and get points for it during my “staycation.” It’s great fun, but my hand was aching from tapping the screen with the toothpick-size stick they give you to play with. I soon realized that I’m much better at the real thing though, and to celebrate, my Mom, who is fabulous in the kitchen, whipped up one of my favorites — now where cookin’, mama! She doesn’t measure when... [Read more...]

I think they we’re called Nirvana…) Sunburgers 4 cups sunflower seeds ground fairly fine (but not to a butter-like consistency!) 5 grated carrots 5 sticks finely chopped... [Read more...]

Here’s something easy to make for breakfast, lunch or a light supper… Tasty Summer Fruit Bowl Chill... [Read more...]

This month’s recipes use no measurements, so I hope you’re all up for trying something new. Cooking without measuring has become the latest fad… As far as the last recipe goes, I called around town and as... [Read more...]
