Rick and Denise talk about cooking for the holidays, making it easier on yourself, and the importance of lists, lists, and more lists.

Everyone loves its zesty, sweet, and spicy combination of flavors, and it really enlivens a traditional menu. Remember, cranberry sauce keeps forever, so you can make it will ahead of the main event or keep leftovers a few weeks.   1 medium lemon                  One 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed, soft berries discarded       2 cups granulated sugar ½ cup (¼-inch dice) crystallized ginger (about 2½ ounces) ⅓ cup finely chopped yellow onion 1 garlic clove, minced 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced 1 cinnamon stick ½ teaspoon dry mustard ½ teaspoon salt Using a Micrograter or the small holes on a box grater, remove the yellow zest from the lemon. Using a small, sharp paring knife, cut away and discard the thick white pith. Cut the lemon in half horizontally and pick out the seeds with the tip of the knife. Dice the lemon flesh into ¼-inch pieces. In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced lemon and zest, sugar, ginger, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cinnamon stick, mustard and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely. (The chutney can be prepared up to 3 weeks ahead, covered tightly and refrigerated.) Remove the cinnamon stick just before serving. Serve at room temperature.   Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.

Add the celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until they soften, 3 minutes. Add the mixture to the soup, deglazing the skillet with a little soup liquid and adding the deglaze contents back to the soup pot. Add the salt and pepper, taste, and add more if needed. Pick out and discard the bay leaves. Thinly slice one of the lemons and cut the other into wedges. Just before serving, stir the lemon juice into the soup.

We’ve been looking for years for a menopause specialist to have on our show…and the universe has delivered! This week we chat with the author of the fresh-off-the-presses book, Menopause Bootcamp: Optimize Your Health, Empower Your Self, and Flourish as You Age, Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz. Dr. Suzanne believes that the 27 million women entering menopause each year deserves thoughtful, candid, modern, holistic information surrounding this transitional stage in our lives. Real information on menopause has been shockingly sparse and surrounded by ageism, shame, and a lack of support. Life doesn’t end at menopause—it’s the start of something new and wonderful! Dr. Suzanne is a diplomat of the American College of Obstetrics and gynecology. She received her medical degree in 1996 from the USC School of Medicine and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA.

Crescent Dragonwagon and illustrator Jessica Love pair up in this lovely and powerful new edition of Crescent’s classic picture book, Will It Be Okay? Those things which caused us to seek comfort in 1977 still require loving attention today. We are reminded, with humanity, grace, and humor, that, yes—yes, it will be okay.   Oatmeal cookies also make things okay. Crescent shares her tummy-warming recipe with us. Dairy Hollow House Oatmeal Cookies Makes about 72 2-inch cookies When guests checked out of the inn I ran with Ned, my late husband, for 18 years, we sent them off with a bag containing a cookie each, to enjoy on the way home... to extend the pleasure of their stay just a little longer.  Ingredients: 1½ cups white sugar 1½ cups, packed, dark brown sugar ¾ cup butter, softened to room temp ¾ cup vegetable shortening, preferably Miyoko's Creamery Cultured non-dairy Butter 3 large eggs 1½ tsp vanilla 4½ cups rolled oats (not instant) 3 cups unbleached white flour 1½ tsp baking soda 1½ tsp ground cinnamon ¾ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp salt 1½ cups raisins 1½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans Oil or cooking spray  Preheat oven to 375. 2. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, cream together the sugars and the butters, beating till creamy and a little fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. When blended, beat in the vanilla.  3. In a second bowl, combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir all but 1 cup of the oatmeal mixture into the creamed butter-sugar mixture.  4. Toss the remaining 1 cup of oatmeal with raisins and nuts and stir this into the batter.  5. Oil or spray a baking sheet. Scoop the batter, by rounded teaspoonsful, onto the sheet, allowing 1½ inches between cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, immediately remove the cookies from the sheet, allowing them to cool on a wire rack.  CRESCENT’S LINKS: Website: https://dragonwagon.com Book: https://a.co/d/gC8fjio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crescent.dragonwagon Twitter: https://twitter.com/cdragonwagon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cdragonwagon/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crescent-dragonwagon-0565b47/ Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan. Line bottom and sides with parchment paper OR dust it with flour. 2. Stir together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl until well combined. 3. Combine the olive oil and milk in a separate bowl. 4. Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Stir in the extract, lemon juice and zest. Stir in the dry ingredients alternating with the olive oil mixture in two or three additions. Use a flexible spatula and mix only enough to ensure that the flour is moistened. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is set and golden on top, for 45 to 50 minutes. The cake will have risen slightly, and the top will spring back when lightly pressed with a finger. 6. Cool the cake for 20 minutes on a cooling rack. Carefully unmold the cake onto a serving plate. Allow the cake to cool completely. Dust with confectioner’s sugar before cutting it into wedges and serving.   Variations: Use any kind of nut or non-dairy milk in place of the whole milk. Substitute any kind of citrus juice and zest for the lemon juice and lemon zest. Or use a combination. Orange and lemon juice are common. Use limoncello or vin santo in place of the lemon juice too. Orange flower water, rose water or grappa may be used in place of the vanilla extract.     Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.
