By Kelly Bogard Gravy. Warm and flavorful. It makes potatoes, rice and biscuits shine. Good at any meal for so many reasons. Quick and easy. And it makes everything taste better! Remember when your mom or grandma kept a can of fat sitting on the back of the stove? I do. My mom used bacon grease in all [...]
By Kelly Bogard Hooray for sunshine! Don’t get me wrong. We LOVE the rain here in Central Texas. But it can sure wreak havoc on the weekend plans. This weekend, in particular, there will be several celebrations for Cinco De Mayo. Snack foods are always at the center of any party I throw. Add a [...]
By Kelly Bogard Rice. Grown with pride by Texas farmers. It's an important economic driver in Southeast Texas. My favorite is a long-grain basmati rice, also known as Texmati. It has an amazing buttery flavor perfect for this week’s south of the border treat. Just in time for next week’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations. For Spanish [...]

By Kelly Bogard You've heard me talk about how much I love getting fresh produce from our members. It's just one of the many ways I showcase Texas agriculture. And I love when members send me recipes to go with it. Several months ago, Jessica Domel introduced you to Bruce “Onion Man” Frasier, president of Dixondale [...]
By Kelly Bogard Preparing for a family gathering can be a tough challenge. You set the date and time. You invite the guests. But what about the food? It has to look good, taste good and fill everyone's stomachs! Sounds like a job for lasagna. That means a plate smothered with an abundance of noodles, [...]
By Kelly Bogard Every once in a while I get kicked out of my kitchen at home. Not because I am not doing a good job, but because my amazing husband wants to cook. During our 20-year relationship, he has cooked for me countless times and each meal is wonderful. We enjoy cooking together and [...]
By Julie Vrazel There’s no way to deny it—the cost of everything is rising, including beef. And significant price relief isn’t around the corner.
