I grew up watching, and loving, the last few years of the nine-year run of 'Little House on the Prairie.'  Melissa Gilbert was always one of my favorites on the show and Tuesday she'll be in both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

Since leaving the show, Melissa has kept in the spotlight, including a stint on 'Dancing with the Stars' two years ago.  She's authored a couple books and will be in town to kick off the tour for a new cookbook. It's called "My Prairie Cookbook:  Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours."  It features 80 recipes as well as many treasured photos and more.

Melissa will be reading and signing the new book at the Cedar Rapids Public Library at 2 pm Tuesday and at the Iowa City Public Library at 7 pm.

Now, let's take a walk down memory lane...
