| Slow-cooking recipes will heat you up after skiing
There's nothing like a day out on the slopes to make you hungry. Make that famished. But let's face it. While most of the food you'll find at local ski lodges - pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and pizza - is hearty, it's laden with fat and more expensive than it should be. And little of it is really that tasty. When two families and mine went skiing over a long weekend two years ago, we brought two Crock-Pots. Two versions of chili simmered throughout the day as we hit the slopes, and it was a great feeling to have dinner waiting for us when we walked into the door. That idea is included in a new book, "The Ski House Cookbook," which offers several slow-cooking recipes and other warm winter dishes for cold weather fun. Authors Tina Anderson and Sarah Pinneo, who grew up in western Michigan, chose slow-cooking recipes that didn't require the meat to be browned beforehand.
Cheryle Finley: Thanks all around for a great week
What a great week I had. Visiting with Carol Parker and the KSN crew is always a highlight, and they are so gracious. And Larry, I would miss you if you were not there. Then it was on to the Flavor of the Four States. Again, Linda Teeter and everyone involved are always so gracious, and it's such a fun evening. You can't beat the combination of great friends and great food. Thank you to Michelle at Amore Cooking Center for the use of her fabulous kitchen. I love cooking there. And thanks to my dear friend, Tawnya Singleterry, for her help this year. We had such a good time but it was a a challenge at times for me. I was telling Tawnya about "Dancing with the Stars" and happened to mention that Wayne Newton was a contestant. She had no idea who Wayne Newton is. Seriously. So I asked her if she knows who sings "Babaloo." She asked me if it was a song from "The Jungle Book." Seriously.

Suckers for pucker
Lemons are the antidote to winter. Bright, fragrant and tart enough to make your cheeks ache, they will make you forget about freezing rain and gray skies -- at least for a little while.
Concentrated lemon juice is no substitute for the real thing, and often only real lemons will do because most mouth-puckering recipes call for both zest and juice.
A chameleon of a fruit, the lemon is as important in a salad as in a sauce and as good with fish as it is in pie.
Even outside of the kitchen, lemons are beautiful stacked in a crystal bowl in your foyer, squeezed to make a salt rub for your aching feet or sliced and dried for a cheerful wreath.
Lemons in the kitchen
With blueberries out of season, you may want to use another fruit to top this tart.
