This is a wonderful fall dish, and it's perfect for a warm Shabbat lunch or a two-day holiday. The chicken and onions become sweet from the juice of the apples and the meat just falls off the bone after the long cooking time.

There is very little fat in this recipe and you can remove the skin from the chicken for an even healthier dish. Serve this dish with easy rice pilaf from the box and a steamed green vegetable for a healthy and filling meal.

Yes, you can eat pomegranate seeds. Their health effects can be astounding (see Kosher Hostess Tip for more details), plus they taste really, really good. This salad is a wonderful mixture of cleansing foods and delicious flavors. The pomegranate seeds are sweet and tangy, and the lemon dressing is light but still flavorful enough to compete with the spicy spinach leaves.

This rich, warm cake is perfect for autumn holiday meals. The simple recipe turns out an elegant dessert for your Rosh Hashanah or Succot table when you use a tabe pan or bundt pan. Use green apples and the tartness sings out against the sweet, spicy cake.
