A young Foster County 4-H member recently shared her experience with the Foods and Nutrition project this year: “At the beginning of the year, I did a lot of baking with my mom. She taught me how to read a recipe, start the oven, set the temperature, measure ingredients and adjust the mixer speed. “My treats didn’t always turn out because I either forgot an ingredient or measured incorrectly. I have paid closer attention and had fewer mistakes as I have baked more. “By the end of the year, I...

Would you like to grow a special flower in your garden? Something that is eye-catching? Something that is unforgettable? A team of gardeners and I have tested hundreds of annual flower varieties across North Dakota over the last 15 years. This included trials at the Dragonfly Garden in Bismarck. Whenever I provided visitors a tour of the Dragonfly Garden, someone would inevitably walk over to a stunning group of plants that towered like statues above the rest. They would ask, "What is that?" It...

According to Consumer Reports, "the FDA began testing cinnamon sold at various stores after fruit purée apple pouches by Schnucks, WanaBana,...

They’ve always been along the northern tier of counties, most generally in the Turtle Mountains near Bottineau and in the Pembi...

CHS got back into the playoff conversation with a 42-16 win over the Braves, on another big offensive performance netting j...
