Even if your turkey's tender, you may think it's tough to find the right thing to drink with it. The good news: some unusual and relatively inexpensive wines work really well. I'd go for something bright, fruity, spicy. Something to refresh. Something to add interest to the next mouthful.

Two wonderful and interesting salads you can whip together in a few minutes. While everything else Thanksgiving is roasting, baking and bubbling along. Fennel-Celery Salad for my Short Ribs. Butternut Squash & Bosc Pear Ceviche for everything seasonal.

Roll up one for a flu shot? Or roll 'em both up and get some exercise? Revving up your heart rate during aerobic exercise also revs up your immune response. So exercise is probably your best bet for reducing your sick time throughout the Fall-Winter cold season and the rest of the year.

Good day to slow down, veg out and contemplate fruit. Ya think? Press Play and take a minute if you don't have your own. Then take a walk and get some. I'm making an Apple-Pear Upside Down Cake with these.

Apples. Pears. Cranberries. They're everywhere. They're cheap. They're ripe and ready for Thanksgiving. Turn that pumpkin pie tradition upside down with a luscious Fall Fruit Upside Down Cake. Takes about 10 minutes and $4 to prepare. Makes 8 -12 happy people.

So what're you drinking for Thanksgiving? What're the kids going to drink? I'm working on it, mixing up food-friendly flavored sparkling waters. Refreshing, satisfying alternatives to wine and beer when you just don't feel like alcohol with your turkey or short ribs

A hugely flavorful, protein-laced sweet potato dish. Trade in the empty-calorie refined sugar for essential amino acids. It's Thanksgiving, not Halloween. Don't embarrass your sweet potato with a marshmallow costume.n

These ribs are like turkey anti-matter. Melt in your mouth. Rich and juicy. Powerfully aromatic. You don't have to carve them.

This is a digital wild goose chase, not a Thanksgiving recipe. Not an exercise. Just a wild story. Seems unbelievable, so you're excused if you don't believe it. But it's totally true.

Slower Sunday: I knew it’d come to this

Clear blue sky where all the leaves were. Just last week, if you wanted color, you looked up. Today, look down. But there is a cool thing you can do with them when it comes down it. You probably haven't done this for a while. Just Press Play for the video refresher course.
