Is plant-based cooking worthwhile? One doesn't have to be vegetarian or vegan to appreciate plant-based dishes. A healthy diet can be full of flavor, as cooking instructor Deepti Suri demonstrated last week in her kitchen at her Yoga Habitat studio in Hinsdale.

Suri will teach part two of her Plant-Based Cooking series for...

I am politically independent. I have always voted based on the issues, not the parties. In the upcoming election, I am supporting Kari Galassi and Greg Hart. I share their concerns about the direction of DuPage County, and I see their viewpoints and policy plans as both reasonable and sensible. Both Kari and Greg have been endorsed by Sheriff Mendrick and State’s Attorney Bob Berlin, both oppose the SAFE-T Act and both value fiscal responsibility in government spending. I am heartened by their support of women and their p...
Decorating used to be a laborious process of looking through hundreds of colors, fabrics and other materials until you found just the right combination and balance. Not anymore.

Now, all your decorating needs are solved. I have lived through the 1960s and 1970s when decorating had real exuberance (to put it...

If you’re lucky, you have a great pic of your kids in their Halloween costumes taken by Jim Slonoff at one of Hinsdale’s Fall Family Fests. My favorite one of Ainsley is from 2009, when she was just 10 months old and dressed as an adorable pink bunny. She’s sitting by a pint-sized pumpkin with her cloth carrot resting in her lap and one of her silly little half smiles on her face. She’s had some great costumes over the years — Minnie Mouse, a witch, Cinderella and Laura Ingall...

She decided to support education, first by volunteering at the twins' preschool and now Madison School, where she is co-president of the PTO with Heather Rooney.

For the 100th time, the National Fire Prevention Association has designated the second week of October Fire Prevention Week. The theme for this year’s week, which runs from Oct. 9-15, is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape.” According to an NFPA survey, only one of every three American households has actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. And families might have as little as two minutes — or even less time — to escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Speaking of smoke alarms, they should...
