| Add twist to home-cooked comfort foods
This winter weather has been a bear, so I've decided to run some more comfort food recipes with a healthy twist.
For all you cooks who have been making roasted chicken every Sunday for the past 20 years, I'm sorry if this recipe bores you. But I thought that some of the younger cooks out there might like to see a recipe that carefully details each step in the chicken roasting process that takes out some of the mystique of how we've always grown up eating delicious home-cooked chicken dinners, coming from something described as a carcass.These recipes are from the American Institute for Cancer Research, which develops some interesting recipes with ingredients you may not normally use, such as fennel and figs. I hope you enjoy. We have one more week of healthy recipes, and in February, let's share some recipes for finger foods.
Cheryle Finley: She's singing 'Because' she can
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thursday it was dinner at my parents' home. Then on Sunday, we celebrated Thanksgiving and my husband Chris' birthday at That Joplin Woman's home. I like spreading out the dining pleasure, making it last longer. I have much to be thankful for, not the least of which is the great cooks in my family. .

Well, Chuck D of Public Enemy weighed in a ways back and outlined a plan on how he would do the label the Russie & Rick built. So, Chuck D told us his thoughts on the rumor that Def Jam wasn't going to (immediately) fill the position left by Jay-Z.

Tongue-twisting names for tasty treats
Krumkake, brun brod, piparkakut and sandbakelser.The holiday season doesn't begin at Karen Karpen and Glenn Krasner's Los Altos Hills, Calif., home until the traditional Scandinavian cookies with tongue-twisting names emerge from the oven, filling the kitchen with the sweet aroma of butter, sugar and spice.Others might mark the season with a day of baking, but Karpen goes all out. To the quartet of standards, she usually adds several more varieties of buttery cookies to round out her annual production. Baking is a cherished tradition in Norway, her grandparents' homeland, where custom dictates seven varieties of cookies be served at Christmas."We always make too many,'' she says. "We give them away and eat a lot of them, too.''Most of the recipes date back to Karpen's childhood in Oregon, where she learned to bake from her mother.
