Cooking Tip

Vanilla Extract
Premium vanilla extracts are more expensive because they’re made from the finest ingredients, and that shows up in the flavor. Premium extracts contain no additives and are aged longer than other vanilla extracts. If you use a quality vanilla extract, your apple cinnamon enchiladas will be even better.

Brunch Tip

Warm Plates and Serving Platters
Place oven safe dishes in the oven at the lowest setting for a couple minutes at a time.
