It's getting close to Thanksgiving and I've been asked by friends "how do I do it" because I always "have it all together" so I've put together my two-week countdown to Thanksgiving. If you would like a copy - just check...

September and October—two months that usher in the beautiful fall colors. But then there’s November. It brings chilly temperatures…and the cold-and-flu season. We’ve all been there, and we all treat illnesses in our own way. In our family, we fight off our symptoms with homemade chicken soup or a rib-sticking casserole.

Well, I'm at home full time, and lately I haven't been baking, but I'm picking up again. I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 last week, so I've been careful with what I eat. Diabetic diet mainly consists of grain and whole wheat foods...

Do you prepare a family favorite dish so often that you hardly need to look at the recipe when making it? Chicken with Florentine Sauce is this kind of recipe for me. Making it is like getting together with an old friend--it's an easy recipe to make...

I’m back in Colorado this week, and it’s just like I remember – snow! Yes, that’s right, it’s snowing today. Looks like winter is here! It’s a good thing the recipes in our “Fall Comfort Classics” show are great for winter as well as fall! I had a blast...

Good evening all, cooking a chicken wild rice casserole for supper. I have been busy sewing polar fleece most of the day. I make woven polar fleece rugs, mats and bags and sell them on etsy. I am also putting on the fringe for my suede crocheted shawl...

Fall is here, and cool weather heralds the beginning of soup season. Growing up in the Deep South, I learned a bowl of hot soup is just about the last thing you want on days with 90% humidity. But it’s sub-50 degrees right now, and I can’t think of anything better than a slow cooker filled with one of my favorite concoctions, Tomato Veggie Soup.

Isn't it funny how when we're a kid we're put in to all of these boxes with rules like, "no, that's dessert, you have to eat that last." Or, "that's BAD for you..." We get told so many things by the media and our...

Prime rib has always been one of the most sought after items on the grill. This is because aside from its being quite large enough to fill up anyone, it is more moist, tender and juicy than most other cuts. This cut has been so popular that most restaurants...

I was scheduled to meet with Diane Werner, Food Director at TOH, on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, at Sam's Club in Plano. I actually arrived at Sam's Club (thanks to my trusty GPS) a little early and was informed of a time change. The demo and signing...

What the heck is polydimethylsiloxane, and why did I feed it to my daughter? A couple of days ago, my wife was out of town, and I wanted to treat my daughter to a fun dinner, something different, something new. I remembered when I was a child in the ‘70s my father used to buy TV dinners, and we’d eat in front of the tube watching “The Gong Show” or “Hee Haw.” Sure, the meals weren’t that good, but I remember laughing with my dad (as much as I remember the crunchy edges of the “brownie”), and that feeling was what I wanted to give my daughter.

Apples are one of my favorite fall comfort foods. Even though they're available all year long, the apples this time of year just seem to taste better. I think it's because they remind me of the season. Every year, I always look forward to my first...

Today is my husband's 56th birthday, so I made him a special dinner. His mother came over and showed us pictures from her recent trip to Michigan's UP and Mackinac Island. They watched the football game while I was cooking. (The Ravens lost.)...
