So it's not surprising that their first cookbook is a product of Spirituality and Health Magazine, published by friend Victoria Sutherland.

Although it seems a contradiction, I eagerly anticipate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and everything in between for most of the year. Just not the crowds.

She said her husband lost 40 pounds eating only soups and salads. This is one of his favorites.

We have around 14 big trees in our front yard so the falling leaves add up fast.

They are packed with flavor thanks to a quick toasting of cumin seeds and peppercorns used for the rub.

Of course, with egg rolls, spareribs and fried rice, there's not much guessing. But when it comes to the vegetable stir-fries and noodle dishes, the answer isn't as obvious as we'd like.

So much so, in fact, that the National Fire Protection Association says that with so many more people cooking on Thanksgiving than on a typical day, Americans are twice as likely to have a home fire on the holiday than any other day of the year.

Hertzberg told Francois about his no-knead, 5-minute mix of flour, salt, yeast and water. This month, the duo is releasing their second book.

Zita Adair grew up with a mother who she said "always had a pot of soup on the stove." In those days, every bit of the soup was made from scratch right down to leftover bones set aside to be boiled into stock.

She got it from her mother in San Antonio, Texas. It's my basic butter cookie for all occasions."
