January is an excellent time to clear out your pantry, take inventory and restock. I always seem to have a few things intended for the holidays that didn’t get used. Taking stock this year, I discovered a package of dates that needed to be used. Dates will last almost forever, but they will dry out and get very hard. To use them up, I made some changes to an everyday Date Bar recipe and came up with a winning combination that was favorably received at a recent quilters gathering. Date Bars Date Filling: 3 cups chopped d...

What to fix for dinner? To paraphrase a saying circulating in social media recently, I didn’t realize that being an adult meant wondering what to fix for dinner for the rest of my life would be the most challenging question. Throw picky eaters, sudden schedule changes and forgetting to thaw meat into the mix and you may end up with lukewarm takeout or heating a frozen pizza. More home-cooked meals may have been on your New Years’ resolution list. You have scanned the internet for recipe ideas. All you need now is to fol...

By Laura Estes Quick and easy is the number one criteria for many cooks selecting holiday recipes these next few weeks—a bonus for young cooks who can safely make with limited supervision.
