Introducing the legendary Icon Refrigerator-Cupboard Pie.

Here’s the approach: Open the refrigerator door (and the kitchen cupboard) and see what you’d like to get rid of.

But, instead tossing things out, you bake it. In a pie.

Wanting to bake a pie, but not knowing which one to tackle, I tried the above approach and it worked.

My wife gave me some Probst Family Farm Maple Syrup for my birthday last week. So, in the back of my mind, maple syrup would play a significant role in the bake.

Men's Results I Women's Results

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton University harriers ventured west to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind. for the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Cross Country Championship meet. With both the men’s and women’s team being dominated by freshmen and sophomores, it was not a day to see high team placings. It was rather a day to see young runners vastly improve their times since the team raced on this same course at the pre-regional meet in late September.

Bluffton University is launching a four-year academic program in nursing that will enable students to earn an associate degree and become registered nurses, then seamlessly complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.

To lead the program—on which Bluffton is collaborating with Northwest State Community College in Archbold, Ohio—the university has hired Sherri Winegardner, a Bluffton alumna, as director of nursing and associate professor of nursing. She will begin her work in January.
