Sometimes the strangest combinations create the best dishes. Homemade mac 'n' cheese stuffed in a taco shell over spicy meat is bound to be a winner with at least a few crowds. What's nice about this recipe too is that you can make it all from scratch or take a few shortcuts if you're in a rush. Enjoy!

I got this idea when eating at a local buffet, after combining these two delicious meals into one, I just knew that I had to come up with a recipe of my own.

Looking for something irresistible to bring to parties and potlucks? This pimento cheese dip/spread/yummy goodness fits the bill for us.

For me, I spread it on a pretzel roll with a hot dog and caramelized onions. Shortly later I found myself spreading it on pretzels, and crackers. It was soon to run out, and probably the best as it has this addicting flavor. A bit of that garlic bite with the tanginess from the mayonnaise, and that wonderful Wisconsin cheese flavor, and...

Thanks to Syracuse Fiber Recycling, local cows are comfortable resting on their beds of waste paper. Not only do comfortable cows mean more milk production, but the bedding is environmentally friendly to boot.

That’s 1,400 tons of fiber rejects and fiber residue that isn’t clogging a landfill.

“We ship 75, 72-yard loads a week to farms,” said Martin Kubacki, one of the company’s two partners.

“Farms all over New York state and some in Pennsylvania use our...

Thanks to the world-class plant breeders at Cornell University, a highly-digestible alfalfa strain will allow dairy cows to produce up to 3.3 pounds of milk a day. This could mean an extra $20,000 a year for a dairy farmer with a herd of 113 cows, the average in New York, not to mention more delicious cheese for us!

By tackling the challenge of milking a sheep, Wendy Almeida and her family gain a greater appreciation for how much work goes into producing each gallon of cow's milk they receive.
