Meals in Minutes
Low on time for meal prep? No problem! This month’s recipes help you get dinner on the table with minimal chopping, measuring and post-dinner cleanup.
A Royal Treat
This month, I decided to try out royal icing cookie decorating for Valentine’s Day. While I am no expert, I learned that consistency is key—icing consistency that is. Once I figured that out, my two daughters and I let our imaginations run wild and had a blast decorating cookies.
Yummy Yogurt
Yogurt is simple to make at home and can be used in a variety of ways.
The Perfect Gingerbread
Growing up, our Christmas preparations often included a day devoted to gingerbread house-making. I remember having our fair share of disasters: scratch-made gingerbread that cracked or houses that slid apart. Those bad experiences made me hesitant to attempt a DIY gingerbread house. But, those fears are now gone. If you want to try your hand at a homemade house this year, these recipes for gingerbread and royal icing (the “glue” that holds it together) won’t disappoint.

Commentary
Unprecedented winter storm
In February, the state of Oklahoma was one of many states in the nation that experienced record-low temperatures that were deemed life-threatening. In fact, in Oklahoma we experienced below-freezing temperatures for nearly 12 consecutive days with the lowest temperature recorded at -22 F and wind chills that dropped to as low as -36 F, according to the Oklahoma Mesonet. These extreme weather conditions provided unforeseen challenges to the electric utility industry.
