My all time favorite dessert is an eclair.. I make that flavor combination is all things cakes, cookies, ice creams .. it's always good! But often my favorites change with the seasons!

@simon ..

THANKS for the reminder!!

I buy MOSTLY organic.. but every once and while I just have to grab what is available .. and this was a good reminder to me as well as everyone! I use so much citrus zest in cooking and baking (especially in the summer) that I have to be extra careful about buying organic and cleaning the rinds well!

Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt

Anything that has a light, clean, fresh taste. I would rather just have oil and herbs than a heavy sauce.

looks kinda like..
"The merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango… grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum."

I have made my great grandmother's carrot and zucchini o-shaped loaf for my in-laws for the past three years. I surround the loaf with and put in the middle tons of roasted broccoli - definitely a crowd pleaser, as it goes fantastic with the turkey and mashed potatoes and all the other classic sides!

Impossible to have just one, so the two would be cornbread dressing and Emmitt Smith's Sweet Potatoe Casserole.

My favorite "side" is the nut bread that my mother used to make for her entire married life. She found the recipe in a newspaper in 1948. It is chock-full of walnuts! Thanks!
