"I love the excellent texture of this easy coffee cake recipe. Always a crowd-pleaser, its pleasing vanilla flavour enriched by sour cream may remind you of breakfast at Grandma's! Make it the night before a holiday to save time in the morning." —Eleanor Harris, Cape Coral, Florida

"Not only is this old-fashioned favourite a snap to make but it's economical, too. Carrots, celery and onion accent the subtle flavor of the split peas, while a ham bone adds a meaty touch to this hearty soup. It's sure to chase away autumn's chill." —Laurie Todd, Columbus, Mississippi
