By Linda Cook,

1 days ago

It's homecoming weekend for Rock Island High School. Homecoming was supposed to be kicked off with a football game against longtime rival Moline.

That game is now postponed, as several Rock Island players and coaches are dealing with an illness. The freshmen game will kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday, while the varsity game kicks off after that at Rock Island High School.

District staff told Our Quad Cities News that several athletes, coaches and family members got sick Thursday night.

The district did host its homecoming parade Friday afternoon. Fans who came out say they're still excited for the big game.

The school district says it's working with the Rock Island County Health Department to ensure everyone's well-being.

Skillet-Fried Cornbread Delivers Crispy Southern Comfort Fast

Spoonfuls of cornmeal batter fry in a hot skillet until their exteriors become deeply golden and crisp while the centers remain tender and moist. Buttermilk, egg, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar create a thick batter that cooks much like a small pancake. Depending on where they are served, these comforting rounds may be called fried cornbread, hoecakes, Johnny cakes, or cornmeal fritters, but their ability to complete a Southern meal remains the same.

Church Supper Spaghetti Is Made to Feed a Hungry Crowd

Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti is the generous, low-maintenance dinner to make when one small skillet simply will not be enough. Ground beef or Italian sausage is combined with onion, garlic, pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and broth inside the slow cooker. Broken spaghetti cooks directly in the flavorful sauce, absorbing the seasoned liquid rather than requiring a separate pot of boiling water. The final dish is saucy, hearty, and easy to keep warm for guests. Mozzarella or Parmesan can be added near the end, turning the top into a creamy, melted layer that makes each serving even more comforting.

7 Diner Dishes Teenagers Ordered After Prom in the 1960s and 70s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The prom ended at midnight, the gym went dark, and the real night started in the parking lot. By 1 a.m., every booth in the closest all-night diner was full of kids still in formalwear: cummerbunds loosened, heels kicked off, corsages pinned to the vinyl seat back. The food was the best part of the whole evening. Nobody was sleepy and nobody was going home.

Million Dollar Spaghetti Turns Pasta Night Into a Celebration

This casserole takes everything comforting about spaghetti and rebuilds it in generous, cheese-filled layers. Al dente noodles are combined with ground-beef marinara, then arranged with a creamy ricotta mixture seasoned with egg and Italian herbs. Mozzarella and Parmesan cover the top, melting into a golden finish while the pasta underneath absorbs the meat sauce. Instead of chasing separate components around the plate, each portion holds noodles, savory beef, creamy ricotta, and stretchy cheese together. It’s substantial, familiar, and exactly the sort of dish people hope to find waiting at a family dinner.

This Comfort Food Casserole Is Perfect for a Cozy Fall Night

Using only five ingredients, this simple and easy chicken and wild rice casserole dish is creamy, hearty, and comforting. For the full recipe on my website click HERE. Chicken and wild rice casserole is a meal that uses mostly shelf-stable ingredients. Assemble the ingredients for a few months’ worth of these casseroles if you have a hankering, and know that the bag will be ready to grab whenever you need it. You could even substitute canned chicken if you like to make it completely shelf-stable! My family gobbles this one up and everyone wants seconds so if we’re all here, I usually make double.

Food stamp purchase limits stay blocked in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee and West Virginia under a June court order

USDA calls it a demonstration project when a state asks to bar SNAP shoppers from buying soda or candy.

That distinction is why five states that once had approved SNAP purchase restrictions still […]

Southern Peach Cobbler Makes Shortcut Ingredients Taste Homemade

Southern Peach Cobbler surrounds syrupy cinnamon fruit with a buttery pie-crust topping, delivering old-fashioned flavor without requiring fresh peaches or homemade pastry. Frozen peaches cook with granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until their juices thicken into a fragrant filling. Prepared rolled crust saves time while still baking into golden layers above and beneath the fruit. Brown sugar caramelizes around the edges, and the lower crust absorbs enough peach syrup to become tender without disappearing completely.

7 After-Funeral Dishes Neighbors Brought Without Being Asked

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When somebody in a neighborhood loses a person they love, the food shows up fast. Not ordered food, not catered food - someone's own pan, still warm from their own oven, left on the porch or handed through the screen door with barely a word. It happens before the family has thought about eating. It happens before anyone has had to ask. In churches, in small towns, in apartment buildings where people know each other well enough to notice when a hearse was parked outside, this is how the community speaks.

7 First-Apartment Dishes Newlyweds Made in the 1950s and 1960s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The kitchen in a first apartment circa 1955 was often a single wall of cabinets, a small gas stove, and a refrigerator that barely held a week's worth of groceries. Young couples married in their early twenties, set up housekeeping on one salary, and figured out dinner mostly by instinct. Cookbooks helped some. Neighbors helped more. The other resource was whatever cost the least at the A&P that week.

7 Hot-Plate Suppers College Students Cooked in the 1960s and 1970s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. A furnished room in 1967 meant a narrow bed, a metal dresser, and a two-burner hot plate on a card table by the window. You had a can opener, a secondhand frying pan, whatever fit in the mini refrigerator shared with your neighbor down the hall, and a paycheck that ran out around Thursday. The dorm cafeteria closed at seven. The only restaurant within walking distance was a greasy spoon you couldn't afford five nights running.

7 Rural Southern Church-Supper Dishes Still Worth Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. A Midwestern potluck and a rural Southern church supper look similar from a distance: long folding tables, covered dishes, somebody's mother's dessert at the end of the line. Get closer and the resemblance fades fast. In much of the rural South, food was organized by type and the dessert table stood apart, treated almost as its own room. Brunswick Stew came in a cast iron pot the size of a washtub, tended by men who had been at the fire since before the service started. Cornbread baked in the church kitchen and got cut into squares before it hit the table. Banana Pudding traveled layered in a glass bowl, not a pan, because presentation on that table was its own kind of statement.
