Happy Holidays! As we travel through this joyous, jam-packed season, sitting down to a delicious meal with your family can be the best present of all. And if that meal is short on time and cleanup…even better!

We know how you feel, and that’s why we’ve packed this Simple & Delicious Plus Newsletter with recipes to enjoy throughout the holidays and all winter long. Look for slow-cooker desserts, classic recipes made lighter, delectable oatmeal dishes and terrific bread spreads.

If the winter weather has you craving comfort food, you’ll definitely like our Web Bonus. It includes:

• New, Test Kitchen-approved recipes—your family is sure to love Baked Beef Stew and Chocolate Cake Cookies.
• A fun Q&A session and behind-the-scenes look at the Simple & Delicious staff.
• More stir-fry tips and recipe ideas.
• A chance to vote for your favorite Simple & Delicious cover from 2007.
• Your answers to our Web poll on what comfort food you love most.

Also, keep an eye out for the January/February 2008 issue of Simple & Delicious. If it hasn’t arrived yet, it should be in your mailbox any day. Inside you’ll find mouth-watering comfort foods, winners from our casserole contest and speedy 30-minute menus.

Enjoy and have a happy holiday season! See you in January!
