Orzo Skillet Dinner is an easy and quick dish
I’ve gained a renewed appreciation for quick suppers from a skillet. As a young mother, that sometimes meant the meal began in a box packaged with everything needed except the meat. These days, I pay much closer attention to every single ingredient that goes into the meals I prepare. I prefer to use fresh ingredients and add my own seasonings.

Editorial - A rich, colorful, delicious history
Sure, the turkey was probably the star of most people’s Thanksgiving meals this week, but another item played a big supporting role that we should be thankful for: corn.

Bring on the beans: Spicy Peppers with Beans (Chili)
I was using a soup spoon to scrape the shallow puddle of spicy, rich, dark red gravy from the bottom of a deep bowl. “How could anyone even miss meat in this chili?” I posed the question to my husband as we sat at the table finishing our meal of a bean-dominated piquant chili.

Column – 'Fantastico!' I finally found secret to Mexican dish
In 1963, we students in our Spanish class took a bus to Minneapolis where we dined at a Mexican restaurant called “La Casa Coronado.” I’d been raised on Minnesota meat-and-potato dinners and that is why that Mexican meal was a revelation I’ve never forgotten. A combination plate of enchiladas, tamales, beans and rice, it was earthy, rich, exotic – like nothing I’d ever tasted.

In a pickle for dinner? How about a Dilled Chicken Avocado Melt?
Many summers ago, while living in our first house on an all-American kind of street, it was not uncommon for neighbors to gather for an evening meal. Children would play as their dads took charge of a grill filled with chubby bratwurst and polish sausage. Moms would arrange paper plates and plastic forks, salads, baked beans and chips on picnic tables, slice some buns, then relax on folding lawn chairs as they sipped a cool beverage and chatted.

Alexandria Police Chief Rick Wyffels talked about how important that monthly contact is when he delivered his annual report at Monday’s Alexandria City Council meeting.
