From the Editor

Dear $$firstname$$,

I’d like to personally welcome you to our online community. As a Taste of Home subscriber, you're entitled to receive this exclusive subscriber-only newsletter each month, free with your magazine subscription. Using the links in the newsletter is the easiest way to enjoy all your Taste of Home Plus online benefits. In each monthly Plus newsletter, you'll find bonus features, recipes, photos, expert advice and "insider information" to supplement your current magazine issue. It's our way of saying "Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!"

A stop at a nearby farm market the other day had my mouth watering over bushels of beautiful apples! Remembering the wonderful Apple-Raisin Pork Chops and Dutch Apple Salad in the October/November magazine, I took plenty home to make those delightful autumn dishes.

My hubby, Louie, was quick to approve. He also reminded me he wants Boneyard Cookies for Halloween. He’s just a kid at heart.

Meantime, excitement is building around our new “Cooks Who Care” feature! After reading the inspiring story, more readers are contacting us about their own cooking outreach. If you “give back” by cooking for charitable or other special purposes or know of someone who does, we’d love to hear from you. Use this handy new E-mail address: cookswhocare@tasteofhome.com.

It’s been about a month since your October/November magazine arrived. As always, we’ve added more subscriber-only recipes and tips to Taste of Home Plus, including an Editor’s Favorite Meal made up of tried-and-true favorites, more make-ahead treats for Halloween, some Fabulous Fall Flavors that are lower in fat, sugar or salt, and additional Appetizers and Snacks to keep your holiday gatherings going.

As a bonus, we’ve included tips on serving up Second-Day Specialties and dessert recipes that demonstrate The Proof Is in the Pudding. Last but not least, there’s a sneak preview of your upcoming December/January magazine. Enjoy!

—Ann Kaiser, Editor

Editor’s Favorite Meal

I ALWAYS ENJOY hosting guests for Sunday dinner...and the menu is sure to include some of the tasty Pennsylvania Dutch dishes I was raised on. Try these Sunday dinner favorites»

The Proof Is in the Pudding

After your next frosty football game or autumn afternoon bike ride, treat yourself to a baked lemon dessert, warm cranberry bread pudding or creamy egg custard. Whether you make it with bread, rice, chocolate or vanilla, there’s sure to be a pudding that will satisfy every member of your family. Try these “comfort foods”»
