By Linda Carol Wilson This Roast Turkey Breast and Vegetables is an easy recipe for Sunday dinner, a dinner party, or just a family meal. This turkey meal bakes in two hours instead of half the day. After a couple of hours in the oven you have a meal of turkey, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and celery. In a matter of minutes you can thicken some of the pan juices with cornstarch or flour for a gravy, if desired. Serve with a salad and/or a relish tray for a complete easy meal.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and the stringy fibers. Save the seeds to roast for a snack! Place the squash flesh side down in a cake pan with about 1" of water.

By Yao Daphnie Why not reduce the risks by replacing your copper and aluminum saucepans with stainless steel? You don't have to lose the excellent saucepans with stainless steel? You don't have to lose the excellent heat-conducting qualities that make copper and aluminum so convenient to cook with. Sandwich-based saucepans are fine: a layer of aluminum or copper placed between two layers of steel with distribute heat evenly. This way the sandwiched metal doesn't come in contact with the food. If you love your aluminum pots too much to bin them, just don't cook anything acidic in them, like tomatoes or fruit. Many serious cooks swear by cast-iron pots, which cook very slowly and evenly.

For women it could even be a bonus, topping up iron stores that are so often un...
