Lots of recipe requests came in from a recent community potluck meal. Kerry Scheller brought Mexican Corn Bread Salad to the event and she received many requests for the recipe and chose to share it here. The secret to this recipe, I believe, is corn bread muffins. They have more crust surface and this makes the salad more substantial, not soggy as some cornbread salads get when they sit for awhile. This is a layered salad you can make several hours ahead of serving, ideal... Full story

Light energy from the sun [a spectrum of wavelengths] passes to the earth’s surface with little absorption, bringing the energy that is transformed into hea... Full story
To the Editor: Just a warning, Spring is here, and yard cleanup after winter is underway. Those with pets should be aware. Ours are like our children, and I try to protect them as such. Most of the products we spray to kill the unwanted weeds and grasses are toxic to our pets! Most all dogs and cats eat weeds and grasses for one reason or another. I have seen dogs and cats that have eaten grass after being spayed. Some of the affects cause loss of appetite, vomiting of blood, etc., very similar to rat poisons in how they... Full story
