I love a rib eye steak, but my hubby has chewing problems, so I usually by filet mignon-not as much flavor, but easy to eat.

Eating Southern involves a lot of different areas and cusines-dirty rice from one area-biscuits with sausage gravy, Southern Fried Chicken, Mississippi Mud Pie and many more. I love them all, but restrict the frequency because almost all Southern food is calorie laden.

Gazpacho, Pesto and Pasta Salads lead my list. Ingrediants for these dishes are farm to table fresh. We are regulars at the local farmers' market.

We go a little nuts here when raspberries are available. Simply served with a small amount of champagne. I drool thinking about this.

Mom made a chicken and dumplings dish that was heavenly. When we could smell it cooking we all rushed to wash our hands and get to the dinner table.

We live in walking distance from a wonderful small Mexican Restaurant. It is a family run place and after one visit they remember you and your prefernces. Oh yes, they are located in Kent WA

We eat a lot less meat, more fish and locally grown produce.

Hangtown Fry-named for the miners who struck gold. They wanted the most expensive foods at that time were fresh eggs, oysters and bacon. This is definetly delicious.

With a bagel and cream cheese. Yummy.
I think I have gained 5 pounds just reading the descriptions of your holiday giveaways. Keep up the good work.

The very best BBQ joint is my kitchen. I do killer ribs.

Death By Chocolate Cake, followed by chocolate brownies with chocolate chips and chocolate frosting. (I think I gained 5 pounds thinking about all this)

My kitchen becomes a battle zone this time of year. I love to cook and all our neighbors and friends expect me to outdo my self yearly. This year it will be super brownies.
