For

the past few years in Fayette County, one of the biggest trends has

been the opening of Mexican restaurants.

Greek

Easter: Occasion for lavish feast

For Greeks across

the globe, the Easter feast is a sumptuous culinary event comprised

of the many foods given up during a strict 40-day Lent. Even such key

foods as olives and olive oil-as well as dairy, meat and fish-may not

be eaten during certain periods.

Breakfasts

that are fast, fresh and tasty

Mom always told

us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. She probably

wouldn't be too happy to learn that according to the most recent NPD

Group Annual Time Lines Report, breakfast is the meal Americans most

often miss or spend the least time on.

Simple

comforts for Mom: breakfast in bed

Start a family tradition

this Mother's Day by honoring moms, grandmothers and other nurturing

caregivers with a surprise twist on a centuries old tradition. Give

mom the day off from cooking and do for her what she does for the family

throughout the year - kick the day off with a hot breakfast. Pampering

mom with an elegant breakfast in bed of piping hot, fluffy pancakes

made especially for her will surely get Mother's Day off on the right

foot.

Invent

your own way to enjoy an 'old friend'

Peanut butter is

the leading use of peanuts in the U.S. In fact, the world's largest

peanut butter factory churns out 250,000 jars of the tasty treat every

day. However, even though peanut butter is now an American institution,

the modern version has only been enjoyed in this country for about 75

years.

Pickles

create the perfect flavor combination

A pickle and a sandwich.

The long-term relationship between this "perfect couple" is

getting a lot more intimate these days. No longer content to be a pretty

garnish beside a handsome hunk of bread and meat, pickles, pickled peppers

and sauerkraut are now appearing between the bread as well as on the

plate.

'Pear'fectly

pleasing lemon cake

When life gives

you lemons, pair them with pears and celebrate with a simple-to-make,

crowd-pleasing fruit-flavored cake.

Sharpen

your knife knowledge

If

you want to stay on the cutting edge in the kitchen, it may be a good

idea to hone your knowledge of knives.
