Mac and cheese: An old favorite gets a new twist
Every year at this time, I get such a craving for homemade macaroni and cheese. I pull out my old “Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book” that my mom and dad gave me when I was in high school. I turn to page 140, well worn with sticky spots and a little tear. That’s where my favorite macaroni and cheese recipe lurks.

Don’t judge bread by its color – read the label
FARGO - “Mom, could you please buy some white bread?” my 11-year-old daughter asked, whispering quite loudly in my ear as I sat at a potluck dinner. She had just made a peanut butter sandwich with the white bread on the buffet line.By Julie Garden-Robinson, INFORUM , October 30, 2009

Divine doughnuts make this grandma a hero
I carefully measured out all of the ingredients. I pulled out my big dough board. My deep, heavy cast-iron pan was filled with oil and I clipped a thermometer to the side. A baking sheet was lined with layers of paper toweling. I took a deep breath.

Hungary for goulash: Traditional dish warms the soul 
There seems to be one Hungarian dish that most people know of: goulash. So, it’s not surprising that when people discover I am Hungarian, they assume I am an expert on Hungarian Gulyás.

Chicken thighs: Eat some now, freeze some for later
These days, it seems we’re all looking for meals that are quick to prepare, economical and healthful. It’s not much different from the kinds of meals my mom used to search for so many years ago.

Options galore with cauliflower, fresh tomato sauces
I felt like a frantic little squirrel as I scurried about the yard, snipping as many fresh herbs as I could. The nights had been getting cooler, and on this night, there was a frost advisory. The first frost was on its way.

Caramel apple cake could become a seasonal favorite
When golden leaves begin collecting along the roads I drive each day, and brown pine needles fill the gutters on my house and blanket the grass in my yard, my apple senses switch into high gear.

It's time to bake the leaves ... beet leaves, that is
It was the sign outside the Ukrainian Cultural Institute in Dickinson, N.D., that caught my eye: “Cheese Buttons and Borshch Soup Sold Here.” My foot went directly to the brake pedal.

Potatoes: What's not to like?
GRAND FORKS - I grew up in a meat-and-potatoes household. I assume that’s the case for a lot of people of my generation, as well as those of my parents and grandparents.

In perfect harmony: Moist bread satisfies chocolate craving
I’m always in the mood for chocolate, but every once in a while I get an overwhelming desire for chocolate with a hit of cinnamon. Not too much, mind you, but just enough to give a whisper of sweet, warm and woody fragrance.

Hooked on eggplant: Rollups hit the spot
When I was a child, I don’t ever remember having eggplant. When I was in high school, though, I had an Italian friend whose mother seemed to fry eggplant every other day. Their house always smelled delicious. I can’t say that turned me into an eggplant enthusiast, but I did eat one or two of those thick slices of chewy Italian bread with a slice of fried eggplant and homemade tomato sauce slapped onto it that my friend’s mom would make for us as an on-the-go snack.

Snip those herbs and savor them in pasta dish
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine mentioned that she was washing peas and beans and spinach that she had just plucked from her garden. She wanted to incorporate all the freshly harvested green vegetables into her dinner, but was trying to think of exactly how she’d prepare them.

Want to get kids to eat breakfast? How about pizza?
When my two adult sons were young boys, we had a rule in our house – sugar-coated cereal only on Saturdays. As I tried to instill healthful eating habits into their lives, it was one small way I could protect them from a sugar-laden world of food.

Market Day Macaroni Salad feeds a crowd
I was packing a little lunch for my husband to take to work when he pulled the huge bowl of Market Day Macaroni Salad from the refrigerator. “After sharing salad with the neighbors, there’s still this much left?” I heard the disbelief in his voice.

Off-Season Seasonal Foods
For most people, ice cream, dreamsicles, slushies and ice pops are summer treats, to be enjoyed in the hot sun at the beach or on someone's deck while the hours dribble away just like the melty sweet treats do. Personally, I like to curl up next to a radiator or heating duct in the dead of winter,
