Keep Records
Just keep records as ina Garten does to see what works best for you....
No, this recipe is not Ina's. It is mine. And, I am sure I learned from my Mother and both Grandmas..
Sorry, I left it in the oven too long. The Macintosh apples turned to an extremely delicious apple sauce. I used to make the apples in a separate pan and take them out sooner.

My Menu Plans
I'm beginning to plan my dishes for the holidays. I don't need to test the recipes because I make them for most holidays. However, my memory is slipping, so it probably would be a good idea to do some test baking. I really do need to check baking times.

I first posted this photo in 2011, and I have baked these foods in this oven each year since.

This year I will remember to bake the apples separately, to check them frequently, and to take the remaining ones out when they are done. It's good to bake a bunch of each item in their pan so you can take out one at a time to taste. Also, You can keep the remaining ones in the fridge and reheat as needed. They keep well.

This year I must remember to take note of the best baking times for the apples, the acorn squash, and the yams!!

Asher, at the 5th Street Deli, makes marvelous Moroccan Baked Salmon. I think I will order a platter of that too. It's always delicious!

Note added September 2023:
Sadly, the 5th Street Deli has closed.
