In many parts of the country, hunting is not only embraced as a sport,
but is a main source of sustenance. Wild game is often leaner than
domesticated animals because animals in the wild are typically more
active.

Like all members of the gourd family (including cucumbers), squash is
technically a fruit because it contains seeds. Cut into its hard skin
and you'll discover a dense flesh that’s sweet and delicious.

The school year has begun and families are trying to avoid the feud over what kids will eat for lunch.
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is still a lunchbox staple but with
so many children diagnosed with a peanut allergy and some schools
becoming peanut free, lunch making has gotten complicated.

With gas prices on the rise, consumers are looking for ways to save
money. Purchasing locally sourced products can do just that — help lower
the cost of grocery shopping. Buying local not only saves on costs to
the customer, but it allows the local farmers to grow and become more
efficient.

With summer soon underway, getting out of the house and off to the beach, pool or park is a top priority. Packing a healthy picnic basket that satisfies all taste buds in the family can be challenging, but take heart – it doesn’t always have to include fried chicken, creamy coleslaw or greasy chips.

Chaldean-Catholic tradition of giving up meat for 50 days during the

Dear Store Manager,
I wanted to share with you, a recent persuasive essay that our daughter prepared for her Honor's English class. You will find it rather refreshing and uplifting. We enjoy sharing points of view of our future generation. I hope you will enjoy it as well. Happy Holidays to you and your staff at Hiller's.
Sincerely,
Mary Crockett |

Food is such a big part of the holidays – some would say major part! –
that if you’re on a gluten-free diet you may think the holiday lights
don’t shine quite as brightly for you. Here at Hiller’s, we say that
simply isn’t so – a vast array of absolutely delicious, ready-prepared
gluten-free foods make entertaining and dining simple and stunning.

If your kids play soccer, football, tennis or any other autumn sport,
you’ll know about the importance of a light snack before games and
practice. Kids may be tempted to reach for a bag of chips or a candy
bar, but the truth is that a high-energy snack, which contains protein
and slow-release carbohydrates, can keep them fueled much longer.

Approximately 27 percent of students (a staggering 50,869 kids) enrolled
in Oakland County Schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunches,
according to Lori Adkins, nutrition consultant for Oakland County
Schools. But what about the summer months, when low-income families
can no longer rely on free school lunches to help feed their kids?
That’s when Lighthouse of Oakland County—a charity that helps provide
food for 500 to 600 families a month—steps in. Sadly, at the start of
this summer, their cupboards were bare of peanut butter, an important
protein source.

NONNA ENRICHETTA (GRANDMOTHER HENRIETTA) AND LENTILS
My husband had never tasted lentils before we were married. Perhaps this blessed food was not part of his English/German heritage. It was during a time in New York City when dollars were hard to come by that I first spent around 23 cents to buy a pound of lentils for dinner.
