I consider it one of my shortcomings, but I’m absolutely head-over-heels in love with a good blue cheese dressing or dip. Dating back to my early childhood, you could get me to eat just about anything as long as it was served with blue cheese dressing. I’ve been known to ...
Cool and crisp, these blue cheese-filled celery sticks are a great snack. The crushed corn chips on top offer a bit of contrasting spice, too, with Cajun flavoring. These are not necessarily photogenic, but they're fabulous nonetheless! The notion for this recipe came to me in a flash as I perused all ...
This is a ridiculously easy dish to make, and very fast to prepare when there's not a lot of time to make dinner. It's rich, sophisticated and nutritious... what a great reward at the end of a long day at work! Polenta is actually supposed to be cooked slowly, like ...
Lon Horwedel | AnnArbor.com Are health care workers who decline to receive a flu vaccination irresponsible? An article in Scientific American asked that question recently, noting that more than one-third of U.S. health care workers do not receive a flu vaccination, according to an August report by the Centers for ...
The Michigan football team is unbeaten and ranked No. 19 entering Big Ten play, yet that's not good enough for coach Brady Hoke. He's looking for better consistency, particularly on defense, as the Wolverines (4-0) kick off their Big Ten slate Saturday against Minnesota (Noon, BTN).
Okay, once again I'm going to seem pretentious. But Tom and I made a fabulous pasta dish over the weekend, and simply calling it "Angel Hair Pasta with Purple Basil" does not begin to do it justice! It deserves its beautiful, lyrical Italian name: Capelli d'Angelo con Basilico Viola. [kah-PAY-lee ...
I woke up early one Saturday morning... well, I always wake up early, that's not newsworthy! I'm a "late to bed, early to rise" kinda girl, a notoriously poor sleeper. So first I made a cup of coffee, because that is always the #1 priority of the day. And then ...
A man killed in a crash Sunday night on North Huron River Drive in Ypsilanti Township has been identified as 59-year-old Tyrone Hatch of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies said. Hatch was traveling west in a 1998 Chevrolet van that went off the right side of the road at about ...

For dinner one night, I was having a simple burger patty. No bun — I try not to eat too many breads, because the yeast and carbs make me feel bloated if I eat too much (and considering how much I love breads, that's an easy thing to do)! But ...
I thought one day that I should try making up a new recipe by deconstructing something and rearranging it... but I wasn't feeling as creative as I was hoping to be, and couldn't think of anything in particular to take apart and rebuild in a new and novel fashion. And ...
I'm using yesterday's leftover flank steak, a Balsamic Flank Steak recipe for a simple tossed salad tonight. I often use leftover chicken, seafood or steak to top a salad the next day. It's a trick restaurants use to utilize leftover cooked proteins (think Caesar salads topped with proteins); why not ...
I read Melissa Clark's article last week in The New York Times, which contained a recipe for a creamed corn dish that was deemed "much too good to share." She selfishly gorged on it herself, unable to control her glee at having created something so amazingly delicious. Being a fan ...
I spell summer "s-a-l-a-d", and for delicate lettuces, a simple vinaigrette of 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar or lemon, perhaps perfumed with fresh herbs and shallot, is all that's required. For sturdier vegetables and lettuces, I generally turn to my favorite Caesar Salad recipe or this Roquefort Dressing.
