Foil Dinners
By Kelly Bogard Camping…It's what we do in Texas. Some Texans camp every season of the year. On a recent camping trip to Inks Lake, though, something special happened. Our very own Matt Felder, Texas Farm Bureau field editor, popped the question to his girlfriend Britney, and she said YES! Matt and [...]

Getting bigger in Texas?
By Nathan Smith If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? A tough question for foodies, but mine would be a greasy cheeseburger. I am a huge fan and apparently, the First Lady and I share a common love. Recently, ABC [...]
Brown Sugar Fruit Dip
By Kelly Bogard We eat a ton of fresh fruits and vegetables at my house, and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare and serve them. This week, Texas Table Top's Amanda Hill was nice enough to share her favorite fruit dip recipe with me. My family taste-tested the Brown [...]

Baked Peaches with Cinnamon Creme
By Kelly Bogard Peaches are my favorite summer fruit. They are sweet, tart, juicy, crisp and smooth–all in one perfect, fuzzy little package. My favorite way to eat fruit is pretty simple. Just wash it well and sink your teeth in. But, that wouldn’t make for a very good recipe, so [...]
