For July 4th this year, Joey and I were invited to spend the afternoon and evening with my sister and brother-in-law, and of course, my wonderful niece. She’s quickly approaching 2 years old, and although she probably won’t stay up long enough to see any fireworks this year, I’m sure we’ll have plenty of fun …

Sweet roll recipe is the only ‘bun’ for me
When I first started going solo in the kitchen as a youngster, I was very concerned with cooking by the book. Mom never minded me hovering over her shoulder (or if she did, she hid it really well), and I asked a lot of questions. Once I felt ready to make meals on my own, …

You’ll pine for this fresh summer treat
Last week, we walked into one of our favorite restaurants in Hutchinson, a little hole-in-the-wall called El Rodeo that serves up tons of amazing Mexican food. I have explored all over their menu, and I have yet to find something I didn’t like. I’m especially a sucker for their chorizo and potato fried tacos, which …
Cherry Garcia brownies makes friends ‘Grateful Fed’
Over the seven years since I started writing this column, my family has gotten very used to being guinea pigs for new recipes. So much so, that when I showed up with a dish of still-warm brownies for a board game night with my sister and brother-in-law last weekend, my sister looked at me and …

‘Curry’ up and eat your veggies this summer
Most of the time, I pick out a recipe based on what I already have in my fridge or pantry, but every once in awhile, I see something that looks so good that I end up going on a scavenger hunt in my local grocery store, seeking out some new ingredients to add to my …

A good dip recipe can go ‘onion’ and on
When I rented my first house after I graduated from college, I got the experience of regularly mowing my lawn—a chore my dad normally claimed when I was a child. My first lawnmower was electric, leading to me learning to wrangle an extension cord around the yard and moving it to various outlets as I …
Coffee cake comes highly rec’almond’ed
I only have a few rules for choosing recipes I want to try. First, it has to be decently easy and not need a bunch of weird kitchen implements. Second, the ingredients need to be something I can find locally and not have to order online. Third, I have to want to eat it. I …
Even ‘piggy’ eaters will love some pulled pork
Several years ago, we had a planned trip to Kansas City, and Joey announced that he really wanted to do his own “Kansas City barbecue tour.” I was game for an adventure, so I agreed. Little did I know just how much Joey loves barbecue. He managed to find a barbecue joint for every lunch …

Here’s the ‘ravi-only’ quick dinner recipe you need
There’s something about May that makes Joey and I busier than normal, it seems. I think it’s just the rushing around of all the end-of-school items that need to get into the newspaper, along with all the excitement of events coming up in the summer that keep us on our toes. That, unfortunately, means May …

Egg rolls in a bowl will get you ‘egg-cited’
When we were kids, my sister and I often had conflicts over our favorite places to eat. Any time I was in the mood to visit the Chinese buffet, she balked, claiming she hated Chinese food. If my parents were kind enough to push the issue and decide to go anyway, she always seemed to …
