Nothing screams "fish" like Fridays. Fish sticks are a thing of the past with these delicious options. And no one can think "fish" without thinking about salmon and tuna (grilled, baked, burgers or salad). But special mention goes to tuna salad, a crowd favorite and much debated topic any time of year. Next week, the Courier Cookbook will offer Sizzling Saturdays focused on steak recipes (any kind of meat or meat products are welcome). Send your recipes to editorial@lhvc.comeditorial@lhvc.com....

Ok. You know what is not ok? When you fall for one of those ubiquitous "loss leaders" without knowing what you are getting into. You know how it goes. You can't believe your good luck when you are offered a subscription for $1 for a year or a two-for-one deal you just can't pass up? Let me warn you, my friend, if it seems like you can't pass it up, you can. These "deals" are like a shiny penny that once grabbed, turns into a dark pouncing piece of stealth. Let me give you a couple of examples....

Ok. Call me old school, but when I get a text from someone I barely know that starts with "Hey," I assume it is spam. Who says just, "Hey?" Apparently, everyone. The manner in which we communicate has changed in my lifetime. We used to start a letter with "Dear Mr. Smith." Now, we start a text with "Hey." What happened there? Does anyone born after 1970 even remember what a letter is today? Letter writing is a lost art with which our children are unfamiliar. To review, a letter is where you put...
"The Las Puertas Tales (Los Cuentos de Las Puertas)" is a compilation of four fictional stories "based on real places and real people." "The stories are derived from true events" that author David Dexter Correa experienced during the time he taught at a mostly Chicano High School in New Mexico. The stories are richly painted on the backdrop of the fictional town, Las Puertas, New Mexico, which sits "one hundred miles of empty highway [from] Colorado. One hundred miles to Santa Fe. One hundred fi...

Next week, we will explore "Thirsty Thursdays" so be sure to send your best elixirs to editorial@lhvc.comeditorial@lhvc.com. BROCCOLI CHEESE RICE CASSEROLE A true indulgen!ce! Except for the...

Meatless Mondays are almost as popular as Taco Tuesdays. Perhaps after an over indulgent weekend, a little break from meat is welcome. Any day of the week, these recipes will please as either a main course or side dish. Next week we will move on to Wicked Wednesdays. By the time Wednesday rolls around, you might be ready to indulge in something heavenly wicked. What are your secret indulgences? Send them to editorial@lhvc.comeditorial@lhvc.com.

Taco Tuesday is a thing. But rather than going for that two-for-one taco special at Taco Bell, try making one of these easy recipes for the gang. Perfect for leftover chicken, fish, pork or steak. Whether crunchy, soft or street, we've got this covered. Instead of (or in addition to) topping with cheddar cheese, try delicious queso fresco, cotija, or Asadero cheese. Next week we will explore "Meatless Monday." Send any meatless dinner recipes to editorial@lhvc.comeditorial@lhvc.com. AL PASTOR...

Ok. I was recently digging into that filing cabinet labeled "The Differences Between Men and Women," and stumbled upon that universal issue of getting dressed in the morning. Specifically, let's talk about men getting dressed at any time. Disclaimer: I asked my husband if it was okay that I throw him slightly under the bus on this one, and he agreed because, well, it is humor that keeps a marriage alive. Or so they say. So, with a gentle nudge onto the third rail, I offer him some observations...

Ok. One of my New Year's resolutions is to "lighten up." I can think of few better places to lighten up than discussing that poor maligned condiment that is often one of the first foods to be tossed out when going on an after-holidays diet. Yes, I am talking about mayonnaise. Either you love it or hate it. Let me offer a little background. I love condiments of all kinds. I love mustard of every ilk, including Dijon, brown, spicy, yellow, and horseradish-filled. I love aioli, salad dressings,...
During these cold months, nothing beats a cozy body-warming soup or stew. Try one of these favorites and cuddle up. THE CENTRAL CAFE'S IRISH STEW Submitted by Jesse Murphy "My great-grandparents owned a restaurant in Rock Port, Missouri, called The Central Cafe. It was open for about 50 years until sometime in the 1970s. During the Great Depression, they would give out free stew and soups to anyone who was hungry. From those times to WW-II, meat was often scarce, so this stew was a special...

Ok. 2025 has just entered the building. Does that mean it is time to take a swing at New Year's resolutions? Do we decide to lose weight, get a new job, or call our moms more often? Here is what I think. It is time to restart and reboot. Like your computer or your refrigerator's water filter, sometimes you just have to reset it to see clearly. It is like a mental cleanse. Erase the board, clear the cache, start over. I cannot count how many times my computer gets "clogged up" and it just won't...

TOP OF STOVE COOKIES Submitted by Alyson Varvel Bell My great grandmother used to make these and gift them inside the small General Mills Quaker quick oats round container with a bow on top. They are super quick and easy to make and my kids love them. My grandmother, her daughter-in-law, wrote the recipe down for me when I was in my early twenties. Ingredients: 1 stick of butter 2 cups sugar ½ cup milk 2 level tablespoons peanut butter 3 cups quick oats (quick is important) 2 Tbsp. cocoa...
