Pizza isn't just for breakfast anymore.

I think my "if you could only eat one thing forever" meal would be pizza. Yes, my answer is definitely pizza every time; especially if said pizza comes with a

When it comes to designing entertainment areas, feel free to lose track of time.

Chaise lounges with overstuffed pillows and fluffy throws, multiple large-screen TVs, Surround Sound, earbuds, board games, seltzers and buttered popcorn. Old and new mesh together perfectly to make up a

It's officially concert season around here -- catch the first of these bands Saturday night!

This spring, Yakima's concert season will be in full bloom with plenty of entertainers providing a wide variety of music styles — including three that shouldn't be missed.

03/21/2024

Here's your first taste of spring ...

Once upon a time I had magical raspberry bushes. I didn’t buy or grow them. Even better — I inherited them from the family that lived in the house before

Gotta work in the morning? Maybe you should stick with mocktails tonight.

Nighttime is the right time to get your grub and dranks* on in the Yakima Valley. And by drinks, I’m not talking about wine or beer.

The key is to take control early.

The television commercials make diabetes look like a walk in the park. Singing, dancing actors twirl their way across the set, extolling the virtues of one “magic bullet” medication or

Don't worry too much about the directions -- this one has a lot of flexibility.

Spend five minutes on the internet or casually flip through a magazine these days and you’re sure to stumble across (well-meaning, hopefully) advice on the best ways to take care

Sure, you want to stay in shape. But do you really need a home gym?

To gym or not to gym? Often, following the holiday celebrations, that is the question. Perhaps a better question is, what gym set up is the right one?

02/14/2024

In less than three months, the warm weather -- and lots of physical activity -- will be here. Are you ready?

OK, everybody: Let’s lace up those workout shoes and do some stretching before we get started today. Here we go — on one, two, three and …

Back in the day, you didn't just drive your wagon to a 10-minute drive-through for maintenance.

Traveling today is a cinch compared to the days of yore. It’s easy to forget how lucky we are as we climb into our climate-controlled vehicles with everything except bells

01/23/2024

So a dear friend's getting married in India. Is it worth traveling halfway around the world to attend it?
Absolutely!

After an exhausting and enormous amount of travel — 18 hours by plane and seven by car — we arrived on the other side of the globe from Yakima in

Is that old flooring of yours getting ... well, underfoot? Take the next step and think about replacing it. You might be surprised at the options out there.

Carpet is king no more. Vinyl now appears to have that spot covered.

01/12/2024

Snow? Possible subzero temps?
We're betting we're not the only ones dreaming of faraway vacations this week ...

Now that most of us have survived the holidays, it’s time to get back to work.

11/30/2023

Ahh ... this would hit the spot tonight.

As I was scraping a pan of oddly gritty and burnt-edged brownies into the trash the other day, I was reminded, not for the first time, that there’s no real

Eating healthy is nothing new to her family.

That chill in the air means it's time to start thinking about some menu changes.

And just like that, summer is over.

We're talking food this month. And what better place to start than the kitchen?

When Todd and Carrie Lyons decided to build a new home in Moxee five years ago, they had some definite expectations for the kitchen and dining areas.

Yakima Valley history has its share of mysteries ...

Today the one-time business core of Brownstown is somewhat of an enigma.

So where are we going tonight?

In a world filled with everything from fast-food Pumpkin Spiced Frostys to upscale downtown farm-to-table cuisine, there’s a place in Yakima where you can get some good old-fashioned country cooking.
