Skillet Corn by TheDevineKitchen
Our daughter loved this side dish so I’m passing the recipe along. It’s simply cooked partially frozen corn in hot oil, alliums, and spice in a cast iron skillet. Once again I’m utilizing frozen food during the off-season.

A Place Called Home: Spring 2021
COVID has created significant challenges in our community. Many are struggling with the new reality that “normal” might still be a long way off. Our agency, which has been displaced for the better part of a year, is still working towards “normal” as well.
Tofu Spread by TheDevineKitchen
I’ve been enjoying this recipe for years. It resembles cream cheese, for vegans and fans of tofu, although not quite the same in texture. I spread it on toasted bagels and rice cakes.

Dandelion Honey Butter by TheDevineKitchen
Here’s a fun recipe for foragers and families alike! Yes, dandelion blossoms are edible (providing they haven’t been sprayed). They are actually quite sweet compared to the plant’s bitter greens. It’s no wonder the honeybees love them! Simply pick a heaping cup of flower heads from a safe area and gently pinch off the yellow blossoms working from the outside in. Enjoy dandelion honey butter on freshly baked bread, toast, and English muffins; with muffins or scones and I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I think they’d be fun to use in baking too. Just make sure you leave plenty outdoors for the bees!

Spring 2021 Leaf and Yard Curbside Collection
Spring leaf and yard curbside collection this year will take place in June. Residents are asked to please place leaf and yard material in dry paper bags. You can keep your bags dry by placing them in a storage shed, or under a tarp until your day of collection. Items placed in plastic bags will not be collected. Please do not rake or blow leaves into ditches. This creates blockage and can cause drainage issues.
