Pasta with fresh tomatoes is divine

It’s summer and the living is easy! My husband’s grandmother, Matilda Guarco, was probably one of the best cooks I’ve ever met. She made a similar pasta dish to this and we all loved it. She never wrote anything down so I had to hunt down this recipe many years ago! Enjoy!

Grange garden getting ready for growing season

Granby Grange #5 has begun preparing its large community garden as part of its ongoing commitment to service and community engagement in this, its 150th anniversary year.

A twist on the usual coleslaw for your next barbecue

So delighted to share this recipe—I made it many moons ago for a Cook sister’s gathering and birthday celebration for our mom. Horseradish is a great addition, just enough to add spice and flavoring but not enough to send tears down your face! This is a perfect salad for summer gatherings or barbecues, and might taste even better the next day—if there is any leftover.

Community Garden kicks off!
