Nation's largest onion plant farmer located in Texas

Farmers in the Lone Star State are doing more than helping to feed and clothe the world. They’re also helping agricultural production in other states. Did you know the nation’s largest onion plant supplier is located in Carrizo Springs, Texas? 

Meet Bruce “Onion Man” Frasier, president of Dixondale Farms.

Dixondale Farms ships millions of onion plants across the nation each year to be planted in states with shorter growing seasons. This year, Dixondale Farms is celebrating a milestone–100 years in business–and millions of plants sold to garden centers, farms and home gardeners across the United States.

Busy mom Tiffany Waites takes us inside her kitchen

Busy mom Tiffany Waites takes us inside her kitchen

This week busy stay-at-home mom Tiffany Flores Waites takes us inside her kitchen to share with us a favorite family recipe and tell us a bit about herself. Tiffany, who lives in Avinger, Texas, and can't receive KLTV on her tv set, says she loves KLTV so she watches the livestream of the news on her computer. We appreciate that and are happy that she shared her family's heirloom recipe with us, and with you.

 

KLTV: How did you learn to cook?  Tiffany: Oh.. as a teen I kind of just jumped into the kitchen. I loved certain classic meals and if my mom didn't want to make them I would.

KLTV in Your Kitchen: Carolyn Jones shares a 'deadly' recipe!

KLTV in Your Kitchen: Carolyn Jones shares a 'deadly' recipe!

Have you ever wondered what goes on in other family kitchens across East Texas? Do you love trying new recipes, or would you like to share your own favorite recipes with your East Texas neighbors?

KLTV in Your Kitchen is a new feature occurring weekly on our  KLTV Where You Live websites. Each week East Texans will take us into their kitchens, sharing favorite recipes and telling us a little bit about themselves.

Today East Texan Carolyn Jones shared with us that she is living in a situation that many people can relate to: caring for an aging parent.

"I live in Grand Saline. I have lived here most of my life and raised my family here; two boys and a girl," Carolyn said.

"My husband of 52 years passed away four years ago, and I am now staying with my 97-year old Mother, where cooking is a major challenge! I'm trying to put some weight on her & keep it off me!  I don't cook as much as I used to, but I have a cookbook collection that I thoroughly enjoy ---both reading & cooking!"

One of the recipes Carolyn loves and shares with us here today is so good that she humorously calls it "deadly."
