Magazine subscribers watch for your Holiday issue (Nov/Dec) in just a few weeks when we return to our normal  print schedule.

I missed you last week; Hurricane Eta knocked our power out about 5:00 last Wednesday evening. But we were some of the very lucky ones; it was back on by 9:00 Thursday evening. Some of my friends didn't get back up and running until yesterday.

I have to say, I never in all my years thought it would be too chilly to sit outside for a cup of coffee the morning after a hurricane knocked my power out, but it really was too chilly the morning after. I'd had the forethought to grind plenty of coffee beans in advance of the storm, and we have a propane grill, so we did have a hot cup of coffee. We'd just stocked the freezer, thinking hurricane season was over- thankfully, we got enough ice into big storage bins we didn't lose anything. But, I kept out a slab of the DELICIOUS lasagna recipe I developed this fall (you'll see it in the upcoming Holiday Food Guide, in PRINT! later this month) and we heated it up for dinner, along with a pan of broccoli sautéed in garlic and lemon olive oil. Give me heat, and I can turn out a meal!

Chicken-Fried Steak with Cream Gravy

From the Williams-Sonoma cookbook "Comfort Food", this recipe is a classic. Spice it up with some Creole seasoning on the steak and in the gravy, and by all means double the gravy portion of the recipe. Have a pot of fluffy white rice or buttery mashed potatoes ready to serve alongside, drenched in gravy.

Gruyere and Shrimp Mac & Cheese

From The Southern Slow Cooker Bible, this decadent Mac & Cheese is cooked in a slow cooker, for convenience. If you know your way around a kitchen, you'll have no trouble adapting it for stovetop preparation; and if gruyere isn't your thing, sub in some Cheddar and Jack cheese.

Garlicky Shrimp Alfredo Bake

From the cookbook Delish, this is perfect weeknight comfort food, and bonus, it's a one-pot dish. Steam some broccoli or green beans and you've got dinner in a hurry.

Andouille Burgers

Make these tasty burgers for game day. Adding andouille to the mix adds a taste of the smokehouse without the actual smokehouse.
