Spring, summer, fall, and winter...each dynamic season boasts spectacular changes in scenery, character, and style.

The snow begins to melt and an abundance of vegetables and fruits inspire us to try something new in the kitchen, like Asparagus Quiche or Strawberry Heaven. Summer beckons us outside to enjoy the lazy heat. Invite friends over to share refreshing Apricot Slush, Summer Fruit Salad and grilled Salmon On Cedar. Fall foliage and steady winds are crisp and fresh, like the produce finally ready for harvest. End a busy day of raking leaves with warm Acorn Squash Soup and Parmesan Herb Bread. Winter nights are warmed by a soft blanket of snow -- it's a time to snuggle in with Apple Spiced Tea and warm Gingerbread Cookie Cutouts.
