Cold weather? Hot weather? Soups and stews can warm you or cool you off. To warm you up, try Baked Potato & Leek Soup with Cheddar & Bacon, Bouillabaisse (Seafood Stew), and Chicken Meatball Chili Soup (pictured). For the dieters, how about Escarole Soup with Turkey Meatballs. To cool off, try Strawberry Orange Soup or Gazpacho. If none of these examples pique your interest, you will find plenty more soup and stew recipes to choose from.

Some of the most simple recipes can be amazingly tasty, and this easy stir-fried shrimp and vegetable dish is a perfect example. The shrimp is flavored with orange juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and a touch of honey. It was designed for the T-Fal® ActiFry® counter-top appliance, but I've also given instructions to make it on the stove-top. It's quick and easy. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables. You may also like to try chicken instead of shrimp.
