  • Welcome to my Kitchen

    LAURA ESTES|Updated Mar 26, 2014

    Snow drops are blooming and we are past the vernal equinox, so it must be spring. Sunny days whet our taste buds for the fruits of summer, but the local berries, vegetables and fruits are still a few months in the future. Maybe this is why lemon flavored recipes come to the fore in springtime. Coincidentally, the first of the gluten free recipes to come along in response to my request on behalf of gluten free diet readers is lemon based. Merleen Smith shared the recipe for...

  • Rock Doc

    DR E KIRSTEN PETERS|Updated Mar 26, 2014

    My mother lives with me and I'm involved in her medical care. She's a tough cookie. But like many 88-year-olds, she has several health problems. We visit her doctor at least once a month to report what's working and what isn't doing the trick. Recently the doctor ordered blood work that showed she was low in vitamin D. So now I've added vitamin D tablets to her daily medication regime. In the summer our bodies produce vitamin D when sunlight strikes our skin. But during the...

Sometimes, when faced with a series of tasks, it seems like a really good idea, at first, to do everything all at once. That way you won’t have anything to do lat...

New crop prices are now at higher levels than what most people sold this year's crop.
