Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Might sound sort of random, but some of our best dinners was homemade pork gyoza (Japanese dumplings) on a huge electric skillet on the middle of our dining room table :-)
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
It's a close one between Serious Eats (duh) and Pioneer Woman (double duh)- best photos and the most informative!
Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
A simple pomodoro sauce on pasta, especially for these cold rainy days we've had lately!

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Like piehole I don't eat olives but I love olive oil! I could make a meal out of spicy olive oil and bread alone, so good.

SE'er Food Blogs
What a fun thread! Mine's still in its infancy, and most of it links right back to stuff I like on SE, but here it is: http://neverturndownacupcake.blogspot.com
Char No. 4: Bourbon, Barbecue, And Pork In Cobble Hill
Great pics! The house-smoked BLT looks like a Japanese katsu-sandwich on steroids, haha.
O is for Oysters and Okonomiyaki at Jimmy's No. 43
Thanks for fixing the link!
And yes, buffaloplease is right- in Japan "kitsune-iro", or fox-colored, is a common way of describing food as "browned". Although I imagine it looked pretty funny to you, thinking the girl was either dreaming of kittens or wanting EAT kittens, haha.
O is for Oysters and Okonomiyaki at Jimmy's No. 43
Cool idea! Okonomiyaki isn't my favorite Japanese dish, but it's definitely enjoyable if done right.
PS- the link at the end (for the Japanese recipe) goes to a place called garbage plate... ?
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
My mom's Japanese-style strawberry shortcake!
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
Some of my favorite meal soups are probably in this cookbook :o) Lots of family hot pot meal action growing up- love the use of fresh ingredients and simple seasoning that are trademarks of Japanese cooking.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook that was actually given to me (and not a hand-me-down) was a Barefoot Contessa cookbook :o)
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Anything + Bacon = 2398473 times better :-)
Sugar Rush: Tiny Cupcakes at Baked by Melissa
I'm all for "mini" things usually but this photo made me sad
Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'
Maryland - Crabs!!
To Sir Cutlets, with Love
Is it weird that I would sort of LOVE to get this in the mail?
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
Cupcakes (more of a 3-bite affair, but still), Trader Joe's mini peanut butter chocolate cups, and chocolate truffles!
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
@ChloeA: I was just about to ask the same thing! It looks identical, even down to the label.
Preview of Tonight's 'Top Chef' Season Six Premiere in Las Vegas
Was the "Top Chef"/ "Tom Chef" a slip on purpose? Everyone hearts Tom !
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
A little of this, a little of that- I like grazing moreso when I'm by myself. Also, noodles- usually some sort of somen or soba noodles, plain with dipping sauce, nothing fancy but so delicious.
Cook the Book: Easy Gluten-Free Baking
Fresh-baked baguettes, Japanese Cheesecake or Strawberry Shortcake, Bagels, I can't pick just one!
Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
Falafel, guacamole, panzanella salad, or a colorful veggie lasagna
Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
Most memorable would have to be the first time I ever tried it! Jaleo in Bethesda, MD, a few years back :-)
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Yum! Warm mixed olives with fennel, orange zest and Anaheim chile. My favorite olive is the gaeta.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Kielke and farmer sausage with "gravy" (aka cream sauce with onions). Oh thank goodness for Mennonite roots. If only I worked like a farmer to work it off.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
My olive of the moment is garlic-stuffed green. Yum!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
I love Ziti and galic bread! Delicious!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Mom's Thanksgiving feast!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I have never meet an olive I didn't love. Since I am just back from Madrid, I will say arbequina olives with a nice red wine at an outdoor tapas bar.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Not really a huge fan of olives but olive oil is a wonderful thing.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Roast chicken with mashed potatoes!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I still remember the first time I had a kalamata olive. I was 13 years old, and my family had decided to picnic with some friends along a river. One person had brought along a bunch of kalamatas and was raving about them. I was eager to try one, but when I did, I thought they were awful. But after eating them at random intervals over the years, I've grown to love them; they're now my favorite :)
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
I love pot roast with roasted potatoes, onions, and carrots. YUM!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
been craving saltiness lately and it's been satiated with the kalamata olives. :)
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
the little spanish arbequina olives, hands down.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti and meatballs always goes over well here.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
My family would be happy if I'd make them chicken and dumplings at least once a week. (And it's so easy!)
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
My family did roast chicken dinners every Sunday when I was growing up. Can't beat grandma's cooking!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love olives! My favorite depends on my mood - sometimes cerignola, sometimes arbequina, sometimes picholines, sometimes nicoise, sometimes picual, sometimes manzanilla - give them all to me.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Yes, I'm boring, but I'll pop kalamata after kalamata in my mouth just like candy (but picholines are nice too, and Gaetas... )
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

Grandy's roast beef, carrots, and mashed potatoes
