Try this for Mother's Day: Wilder's Bakery and Bistro

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and families everywhere will be descending on restaurants en masse. Smart folks will stay home, but if you are bound and determined to take Mom out for a nice meal, Wilder’s on Bakery and Bistro is offering a special Mother’s Day brunch menu and dinner menu.

I called Jillian’s to see if they were doing anything special for Mother’s Day, but as of 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, they were completely booked. So, don’t show up at Jillian’s on Sunday expecting to be seated.

Wilder’s has been open about 2 ½ months. The restaurant offers a variety of contemporary American dishes with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. For Mother’s Day, Wilder’s is offering some special items that are not typically on the menu: Tequila-lime gravlax, baked French toast, shrimp linguine and tiramisu. In addition, there will be some favorites from the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus available. Brunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner will be served from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

I started working at Wilder’s shortly after they opened. I can attest to the fact that almost everything is made on site. This includes all the breads, pasta, desserts, ice cream, mozzarella cheese, sauces…everything! Chef Tod is always coming up with new dishes. The menu has expanded significantly since opening, and just this past week we debuted the new summer lunch menu. I really am very proud of the quality of food that we prepare in the kitchen.

If you haven’t tried Wilder’s yet, or if you haven’t been in for a while, you should stop by and give it a try. Lunch items run from about $8-10 and dinner entrees are priced $13-20. Wilder’s caters to people who follow a gluten-free diet. Gluten free bread is available for sandwiches, the bakery makes gluten-free desserts, and most menu items can be altered to be gluten free.

Wilder’s Bakery and Bistro is located at 2609 N. Main. You can call 620-259-6559 for reservations. Wilder’s is open 7 days a week. On Sundays, a mixed menu including some lunch and some dinner items is served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The dinner menu is served from 4 p.m. until close. Monday through Saturday breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., lunch is served 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and dinner is served 4 p.m. until close. The full service coffee bar is available from 6:30 a.m. until close along with bagels, breads and pastries from the bakery.

Getting Healthy Across Kansas

So, eating is great - it can be an adventure, a way to bond with friends and share memories. However, as I've come to learn, if the focus is always food, especially high-fat, high sugar and processed food, eating can be an unhealthy habit. A good way to deal with the negative effects of unhealthy eating is to eat healthier. However, diet alone does not good health bring. I'm learning more and more how essential physical activity is for both mental and physical health. It can be a pain to get started on an exercise program - the key is finding an activity that you find enjoyable that doesn't put too much stress on unused muscles too soon . For most of us, if a workout is too boring or if we're too sore the day after, we won't keep doing it. If you live in the Hutchinson, Kansas area and you want to try some different ways to get fit, this Sunday, April 18 is the perfect opportunity for you to try different fitness lessons.

Culinary confessions

The latest trend in American cuisine is to eat everything - all sorts of vegetables, previously unpopular fishes and cuts of meat, and "offal" - organ meats, pig trotters, ears, snouts - everything. I commend this outlook, and I've drastically expanded the foods that are in regular rotation in my diet since high school. Just since moving to Kansas I've added turnips, brussels sprouts, and raw milk. However, every foodie/food nerd/chowhound/whatever-you-want-to-call-someone-obsessed-with-food has some dislikes, and a couple of closet "likes" that you know are culinarily taboo. Things you are supposed to like, but just can't stomach, or foods (usually overprocessed memories of childhood) that "real foodies" would scoff at. These are my confessions: Dislikes: Beets - taste like dirt, can't eat them in anything despite trying many varieties and prearations Radishes - see above, but can handle them if chopped fine and mixed in something Orga

Peep Wars

Each year for Easter, my mom sends me 2 types of candy: Peeps and Cadbury Crème Eggs. Over the years, I have grown to be fond of stale peeps. However, a recent discovery has changed my outlook on Peep consumption. I can’t remember which website I got the idea from, but somewhere on the interwebs, there was a posting that detailed how to have a Peep War. 1. Place two Peeps approximately 2 inches apart on a microwave safe plate. 2. Have each person choose a Peep and place a toothpick in a sword-like position approximately where the Peep’s “arm” would be. 3. Place plate in microwave on High for about 2 minutes. If you have a microwave with a rotating table, be sure to mark which Peep is which, because when they’re spinning, it can be hard to remember which Peep is which. 4. Watch carefully as the Peeps swell. The first Peep to stab the other “wins.” If the Peeps get much bigger than an orange, turn the microwave off. I’m not sure how big a Peep will get before it explodes, but no
