Michelle is originally from Eddiceton, Mississippi, where she says there are two stoplights in the entire county. “And, I wouldn’t have it any other way!” she adds with a smile.
Michelle started cooking at the early age of 6, learning the basics with her easy bake oven. When asked how she developed her passion for cooking, Red replies – “I’m southern, it’s in my blood!”
She fondly remembers her grandmother’s (mamaw’s) baking – including favorites such as banana pudding, homemade yeast rolls, and peanut butter cake. To this day, tomato gravy with biscuits and her mama’s chicken and egg noodles hold special memories.
It’s this passion for cooking that led Michelle to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Culinary Arts from the Mississippi University for Women. From there she worked in the restaurant industry and had an internship with a popular national magazine.
When asked what she enjoys about conducting Cooking School shows, Michelle replies, “I look forward to being onstage. Plus, I have friends in all of the towns I visit, so I look forward to seeing everybody!”
Each Taste of Home Cooking School show is live, so Michelle says you never know quite what to expect. “I think one of the funniest things that ever happened to me onstage is when my emcee brought out a puppet during a recipe and he spoke with a Spanish accent. I lost control!”
When she’s not busy putting on shows, Michelle can be found at home near Birmingham, Alabama.
Meet Taste of Home Culinary Specialist Michelle “Red” Roberts!

How To Tend To An Indoor Herb GardenFresh herbs and recently picked ingredients can add flavor to any meal. A home chef can even improve the flavor of store-bought or prepared foods with an herb garnish that can transform otherwise bland dishes into something you’ll want to eat again and again.
Harvesting fresh herbs is easy for homeowners who have gardens right in their backyards. However, ev-eryone does not have a backyard, and even those that do might find their gardens threatened by changing seasons or unwanted critters. When gardens are moved indoors, the bounty of fresh ingredients continues no matter the date on the calendar.
Herb gardens are perhaps some of the easiest gardens to cultivate indoors because they don’t require large pots or much space. The plants themselves are relative-ly compact, and it only takes a pinch of herbs to give a meal some extra flavor.
When growing herbs indoors, your indoor growing area must have adequate light to simulate the longer days of summer; otherwise, the plants may go dormant. It’s ideal to have a southern exposure on the herbs, with at least eight hours of sunlight per day. If you do not live in a particularly sunny locale, consider supplementing
the plants with grow lights, which will provide the full spectrum of light the plants need to thrive.
Indoor air can become too dry for herbs, so you will need to compensate by providing humidity. While there may be added humidity in a kitchen greenhouse window, it still may not be enough to keep the plants healthy. Think about misting the plants daily to create some extra humidity, or place herb pots on top of a water-filled tray with pebbles so the evaporating water will add moisture without making the roots soggy.
Insects are another threat to indoor gardens because there is no cold weather to inhibit the hatching of in-sect eggs. Soil from outdoors may be more susceptible to insects that are already living in the dirt. Instead of soil from outside, use packaged soil or a nonsoil alter-native that will hold moisture without the added risk of bugs. If small insects appear, use a mist of soapy water to kill the bugs without harming the plants or making the herbs unfit for eating.
Group herbs together according to their watering needs to make maintenance that much easier. New sprouts generally need more water than established plants.
Prune the herbs as needed for recipes. If the herbs experience a growth spurt, trim some of the plants and freeze the herbs for later use.
Many indoor herb gardeners begin by growing parsley, chives, oregano, and basil, but you can experiment with just about any herb. A sunny location is necessary when cultivating an indoor herbs garden.

To commemorate high quality fresh ingredients at-home chefs enjoy using in the kitchen, Eggland’s Best (EB) will once again partner with The Taste of Home Cooking School this fall. Participants will have the opportunity to learn new cooking techniques, and how to make delicious recipes for their family and friends using Eggland’s Best eggs.
Eggland’s Best eggs are the only egg that provides more nutrition and better taste, compared to ordinary eggs: one Eggland’s Best egg contains 10 times more vitamin E, four times more vitamin D, more than double the Omega 3,; and 25% less saturated fat. In addition, Eggland’s Best eggs contain just 60 calories per large egg and cost only a few cents more than ordinary eggs.
A recent independent study published in The Journal of Applied Poultry Research also revealed that Eggland’s Best eggs stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.
The better taste, nutrition and freshness of Eggland’s Best eggs are due to Eggland’s Best’s quality assurance program and proprietary hen feed, which includes an all-vegetarian hen diet
of healthy grains and oils.
Eggland’s Best eggs come in a number of varieties including Organic, Cage Free, Hard-Cooked Peeled and Liquid Egg Whites.
Is your inner cook craving a new recipe? Try this Brie-
and-Veggie Brunch Strata; it’s a great dish to share with family and friends during holiday brunch gatherings!

Discover the Versatility of HoneyIt’s hard to imagine anything more pure and natural than one-ingredient honey. Produced by bees from the nectar of plants and flowers, honey essentially flows from the hive to the table. With more than 300 different honey varietals found in the United States, it is no wonder Firmenich named honey the 2015 Flavor of the Year.
The journey of honey begins with humble honey bee. Whether buzzing in their hives or foraging for nectar in wide open fields, honey bees are a critical component of today’s agricultural market by performing the vital function of pollination. In fact, about one-third of the U.S. diet -- including almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries and more -- is derived from insect-pollinated plants and honey bees are responsible for about 80 percent of that process.
For centuries, honey has been a breakfast staple, but it is now being revered as one of the most versatile ingredients on the market today. Honey not only holds its own as an ingredient, but it also provides balance to dishes – complementing and enhancing a variety of recipes. Honey pairs nicely with citrus, berries and yogurt, as well as with fermented or pickled products, because it decreases
sourness in certain foods. Honey also balances bitter flavors, making it a clear favorite for coffee and tea. Additionally, honey modifies salty perception and works well with cured products, like ham and bacon.
Honey can easily be substituted for a granulated sweetener in your favorite dishes, and because it’s slightly sweeter than sugar, you can achieve the same level of sweetness with less volume. For sauces, marinades and salad dressings, substitute honey for up to half the granulated sweetener called for in the recipe. The same is true when baking, and in addition, for each cup of honey used, reduce any added liquid by one-fourth cup, add one-half teaspoon of baking soda and reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
This holiday season, wow your guest with a tasty spin on a traditional favorite. Our Wild Rice and Mushroom Stuffing recipe is the perfect example of honey’s versatility. The sweetness of the honey works well with the distinct flavors of the onion and garlic, creating a caramelization of ingredients. This savory dish has so many delicious flavor profiles that it is sure to become a recipe your family requests year after year.
Ingredients:1 cup - wild rice4 cups - water, salted to taste1 Tablespoon - oil1/2 cup - minced onion1/2 cup - chopped celery1 teaspoon - minced garlic2 cups - sliced mushrooms1/4 cup - chopped dried apricots2 Tablespoons - minced parsley1/4 cup - honey
RECIPE
WILD RICE & MUSHROOM STUFFINGDirections:
In small saucepan, combine wild rice with salted water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until tender, approximately 45 minutes. While rice is cooking, heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions, celery and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent and celery is soft, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté until mushrooms are soft, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat. When rice is cooked, drain in a colander. In large bowl, combine rice and mushroom-onion mixture. Add apricots, parsley and honey, stirring until mixed well. Serve warm as a side dish or use to stuff poultry.
The National Honey Board is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group that works to educate consumers about the benefits and uses for honey and honey products through research, marketing and promotional programs. For more information, visit www.honey.com.

Don’t forget food allergies when hosting your next partyHolidays, birthdays and the opportunity to unwind with good friends and some conversation are just a few of the reasons to host parties at home. Hosts and hostesses have several things to consider before hosting such get-togethers, including any food allergies their guests may have.
Entertaining guests who have food allergies makes menu decisions more difficult. According to estimates from the nonprofit organization Food Allergy Research & Education, 15 million American adults have food allergies. In addition, a 2013 study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that food allergies among children increased approximately 50 percent between 1997 and 2011.
Because food allergies are so prevalent, it’s important that party hosts take steps to keep their guests happy and healthy.
• Ask guests if they have food allergies. Encourage guests to discuss their food concerns with you before you plan the menu. While some guests may be hesitant to share such information, assure them that their comfort is your biggest priority. Keep a log of guests’ food aller-gies that you can refer to when planning the menu, and use this log when planning future parties.
• Prepare food safely. When preparing meals, take steps to avoid cross-contamination of allergy-inducing foods. Use different dishes, spoons and utensils when preparing meals. In addition, prior to pre-paring food, thoroughly clean all dishes you plan to use in an effort to remove any traces of allergens from past meals.
• Read all labels. Just because a food seems safe doesn’t mean that it is. Read packaging and labels carefully to determine if the product contains any allergens or if it was produced in factories where it might have been subjected to cross-contamination.
• Keep allergy-safe foods separate. Allow guests with food allergies to dig in prior to others so that serving utensils do not transfer allergens to other serving dishes. Place safe foods away from those that may trigger allergic reactions and label items carefully if you are serving buffet style meals.
• Research allergy-free recipes. Look for recipes that do not include many of the most common allergens, such as nuts, soy, dairy, and eggs.
• Express your concerns. If you are worried that you may inadver-tently introduce an allergen into the foods you plan to serve, speak to your guests in advance of the party. Guests will likely be willing to bring dishes they prepare themselves to calm your nerves and ensure they don’t suffer an allergic reaction.
Food allergies can be challenging waters to navigate. But maintaining an open dialogue with your guests about food allergies can ensure your next dinner party is a success.
Instead of serving them on the same platter as all foods, keep foods that are known to trigger food allergies separate so guests can rest easier.
