Holiday help
With harvest colors (deep hues of yellow, blue, red and orange) and elegant design, Joanne Weir’s stoneware bakeware for Pfaltzgraff will dress up holiday tables. They’re sturdy too: heat-resistant to 500 degrees; can go straight from freezer to oven; and safe for microwaves and dish-washers. Many shapes and sizes are available, from $10-$72, including a 9-inch-square baker ($57.50) and 5-by-7-inch oval baker ($21.50). The line is sold at Carson Pirie Scott Home Store departments; by mail: pfaltzgraff.com or 800-999-2811.
Bunny bonanza
Bunny Grahams, impish little treats from Annie’s Homegrown, deliver big flavor. The nicely crafted graham-cracker nibbles are the size of a dime, are made with organic wheat flour and come in three flavors: honey, cinnamon and chocolate. We liked all three. Each 7.5-ounce box costs $3 at Whole Foods Markets and Sunset Foods.
Pie panache
Give holiday pies personality with these autumnal mini pie cutters. Use the 1 1/2- to 2-inch shapes–including pear, apple, turkey or maple leaf–on dough scraps; place on top of pumpkin or double-crusted pies. The set of eight tin-plate cutters (hand wash only) costs $8 at Crate & Barrel stores or by mail-order (crateandbarrel.com or 800-323-5461).
