The holidays are approaching, and that will mean a lot of kitchen time for the cook of the house. Our food columnist, Karin Calloway, wants to help you get ready, but she needs your help, too.

For Thanksgiving, we need your best recipes and ideas on what to do with all that leftover turkey. Ms. Calloway will offer up a recipe for Turkey Florentine Bake on Nov. 25, and we'll feature the best ideas and recipes from readers.

For Dec. 16, we need your favorite Christmas cookie recipes. She will give her recipe for iced sugar cookies that day. What are your favorite holiday cookies?

You can send your recipes to Ms. Calloway at karin.calloway@comcast.net.

We need your leftovers suggestions and recipes by 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.
