Mashed potatoes, for sure!

Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes, or the Sweet Potato Tarte from Cakespy!

Gyros, Roasted leg of lamb, Lamb curry, and my personal favorite, the Simpsons' Lamb Chops right after visiting a petting zoo ("Liiiiiiisa, I thought you looooved meeeee...loooooooved me")

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 :-)

A simple pomodoro sauce on pasta, especially for these cold rainy days we've had lately!

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, Pumpkin muffins, Pumpkin pancakes, so many great recipes this time of year!

Great pics! The house-smoked BLT looks like a Japanese katsu-sandwich on steroids, haha.

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... ?

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.

Anything + Bacon = 2398473 times better :-)

Maryland - Crabs!!

Cupcakes (more of a 3-bite affair, but still), Trader Joe's mini peanut butter chocolate cups, and chocolate truffles!

Was the "Top Chef"/ "Tom Chef" a slip on purpose? Everyone hearts Tom !
