According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 1 in 2 U.S. adults have prediabetes (take a minute to check if you're at risk) or Type 2 diabetes. Now we're all about to enter that annual carb carnival of cookies, cakes, casseroles and eggnog - the holiday season.

I think we surprised ourselves when we got another dog right away. Cody had been gone only one week when I started looking at Siberian husky rescue sites. "Only for fun," I promised my husband. But the empty backyard and quiet house were too much. I couldn't sleep, so I'd wander the house at night, looking for my dog that I hoped maybe, just maybe, I'd find asleep on the living room couch. We had a small plaque in our kitchen that my son bought in Texas. It read, "A house is...
Planning is the key to preparing Thanksgiving dinner - especially if you want good leftovers, like turkey enchiladas. "There's usually plenty of cheese leftover from the cheese appetizer tray," Hinsdale's John Sachanda said. "That's a great thing to add to the enchiladas. Put some good cheese out there to begin with. Get ahead of the game." Another favorite ethnic dish that uses up leftovers and pays tribute to Sachanda's eastern European heritage is pierogis. He fills them...

As the holiday season arrives, so do my childhood memories of baking in my family’s kitchen. Spending those moments together was always so exciting. I especially remember how important I felt when I got to help — following directions, measuring ingredients, testing new recipes and eating the results! As an adult, I love spending this time with my 8-year-old niece as she blossoms into quite the baker. These special experiences can happen in the kitchen or somewhere else, and we hope the library will be a place you find ins...

One of the most common pieces of advice that is given to parents, guardians, teachers, grandparents and others alike is to be an "askable adult." Quite simply: An askable adult is one young people see as approachable and they feel comfortable asking any question. When kids are young, the "askable adult" role is easy! "Why is the sky blue?" "Why do people wear glasses?" "Why are apples red?" OK, so maybe the questions aren't easy, but they certainly are easier than the topics...
In the spring of 2020, the Hinsdale Chorale was preparing not only for a seasonal concert but for its 20th anniversary celebration. Both were nixed by the pandemic, at least temporarily.

"The first time I toured, I was on the Level 3 side and there was a dad...
