Kitchen Pickin': New set debut

It’s been a while since we brought Kitchen Pickin’ to the newsroom but we’re happy to be back.

If you’re ready for fall and you love apples and cinnamon, this is a recipe you’re going to want to try. If you’re a fan of Cracker Barrel’s fried apples, you’ll love this healthier version, too. Only 1/4 cup sugar for the whole batch.

This is one of my favorite pastas to make because it’s so easy, only requires one pan from start to finish, and it’s incredibly delicious!

I recently visited Maui to stay with my son and daughter-in-law who live there. We enjoyed a wonderful visit and lots of local food while I was there. Hawaii has a unique cuisine featuring fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables. But this recipe is one that was developed because it could be made with shelf-stable ingredients when food was more scarce: macaroni salad.

A cold, refreshing salad is welcome during hot weather. This cucumber-dill salad is so easy to make and inexpensive, as well. I hope you enjoy it!
