Steve Stuckmeyer, Safety and Risk Services A no-frills recipe – but perfect for anyone heading out into the backcountry with a Dutch (or Swedish Omnia) oven and desiring a fresh-cooked dessert. I learned of it from my father-in-law, who either found it on the back of a cake mix box or came up with it […]
Dayle Gregory, Institutional Research Everyone in my family has always had a food that they have specialized in. For my mother it was deviled eggs. My aunt makes amazing fudge. My grandfather makes delicious chocolate chip cookies. Caramels have always been a favorite candy of mine and it wasn’t until I saw this video from […]

She adamantly believed that it was perfectly acceptable to use brown (or even sometimes almost black) bananas for this recipe. “It […]

Anna Hindley, VPFA Office I was raised in London, England, by American and British parents. I was going to share my paternal grandmother’s Yorkshire pudding recipe, even though she’s from Nottinghamshire, but I see Shannon Rose from Human Resources (ELR) has shared a recipe for Dutch Baby, which is practically the same thing, except that […]

Damon Rutherford, Design and Construction My Mom used to make this frequently, and although it has nothing to do with where I grew up, it reminds me of her and our meals together when she lived in town: https://www.alphafoodie.com/creamy-tom-yum-soup/
