For a little while now I have been receiving in the mail the hard copy of Kraft Foods & Family. Pictures are always scrumptious, and I like that most recipes seem fairly straightforward, simple, in plain English and use everyday ingredients I am more likely to have or acquire. The website has the added benefit of being searchable.

Even though we have been 90+ degrees today, I have Fall on my mind. I can't wait to try this recipe.
