Taco Bell wants to help with your under-eye circles and wrinkles — no, really

You may have heard: Taco Bell is getting into the beauty business. Because nothing says clear skin like Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Beefy 5-Layer Burrito. The fast-food chain announced last week that it would be introducing "Mountain Dew Baja Blast Under Eye Patches" later this year. (Yes, really.) The news came at Taco Bell's Live Más Live gala March 10, during which the company introduced more ...

Fries are much more than a side. Here’s how to turn them into dinner.

About halfway down Shop Street in downtown Galway, Ireland, there’s often a crowd outside Chipeen, where they serve hundreds of pounds each day of what they call “proper Irish chips” – chunky peeled potato batons cut thicker than a typical American fry. Crispy and golden outside, with a fluffy interior texture, Chipeen elevates these chips beyond a side dish to make them a meal – and nothing could be bad about that.

Greek avgolemono holds the key to creamy, dairy-free soups

There are a variety of nutritious, dairy-free ways to add body and creaminess to soups. Beans and potatoes are two ingredients primed for the job. If they’re already in the soup, simply smashing some of them against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon can do the trick. Mashed, or pureed, white beans or potatoes can also be added stealthily to soups that don’t typically include them – such as tomato or broccoli cheddar – for creamy thickness. Plus they’ll contribute fiber, essential nutrients and, in the case of beans, a protein boost.

Boston Baked Beans return: Little red boxed of nostalgia

In a Feb. 11 article titled, “Birthday schemes and Boston Baked Beans,” I reflected on the heartfelt hunt I undertook with my 93-year-young “Mama,” Mary Lou, to locate a hard-shelled peanut candy she recalled from her Spokane childhood. It seems these treats are an explosive favorite with Spokesman-Review readers.

Buffalo chicken dip gets an extra protein kick from cottage cheese

I am not over the cottage cheese trend yet, because I never needed to get on board with it. For me, cottage cheese isn’t a fad. It’s a mainstay in my refrigerator and has been for as long as I can remember. As a child, I sat at the kitchen table with my grandfather noshing on bowls of it mixed with sour cream and sliced banana. My grandmother stirred it with hot egg noodles, butter and caramelized onions for dinner. I’ve been making cottage cheese pancakes for years, as well as using it in dressings and dips to add creamy texture in a healthier way.

You asked: Is it necessary to remove salmon skin?

Salmon recipes often say to remove the skin. The salmon I buy usually has skin only on one side. Is it really necessary to remove it when a recipe says to? And if so, what’s the reason for removing it? Does it really matter?
