Sue Doeden
Every year at this time, I get such a craving for homemade macaroni and cheese. I pull out my old “Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book” that my mom and dad gave me when I was in high school.

Ryan Taylor
TOWNER, N.D. — I remember an old rancher friend of my father’s who had the keenest interest in when people were born. “When were you born, sonny?” he’d ask, and I’d tell him I was born in ’70. “Yes, nineteen a hundred and a seventy.

BLACK INK: Give calves a clue

Miranda Reiman

ANN BAILEY: Riding ATV at Big Iron provided some thrills; thankfully no spills

Ann Bailey
When I approached an ATV sales representative, I warned him that I had absolutely no experience driving an ATV and that I didn’t want to go solo. He told me that there would be a lead driver and that I could follow him around the track.

Moist banana bread in a flash, mixer free

Karen Huber
