Seasoned Cooking: 4 December 2015 Announcements

Sometimes seasons like this have us rushing and feeling like there's not enough time. So when a perfect autumn dessert like baked apples presents itself and promises less than 10 minutes of prep time, grab hold of that recipe and make it again and again!

If you are looking for a beautiful, healthy, easy salad to serve for Thanksgiving, look no further. When the colors of the rainbow and the flavors of the Middle East, Asia, and the Mediterranean join forces, you know the salad course is something special.

The day after Thanksgiving can be almost surreal. If you're lucky, all of the leftover food and the dishes have been taken care of and you are just looking for a little quiet comfort. Maybe a simple chicken dish made in one pan in the oven is just what you need.

Since Turkey Day, there's a southwestern feel to my posts. Maybe I'm leaning in that direction because Tex-Mex flavors don't often factor into our fall and winter holiday menus. And while I'm all for tradition and enjoying sentimental meals, sometimes I just want tacos.

Sometimes I want amazing breakfast pastry without having to clean numerous bowls, mixers, spatulas, and other baking equipment. Does that mean it's time to go to the bakery? Nah - I just reach for a resealable bag and make scones ... and now you can too!
