Who Likes Grape Soda?
I used to love this stuff when I was a kid. Mostly because it's purple and purple is my favorite color.
What do you make with your cast iron?
You can make anything and everything in your cast iron dish. The sky is seriously the limit. My grandmother even cooks peanut butter fudge in her super old pan. It comes out heavenly!
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
My grandmother made tuna casserole but called it Tuna, Pea, Wiggle. How funny/absurd is that?! But it sure made me want to eat it.

I know from experience that the Cooks Illustrated Drop Biscuits are outstanding but I'm definitely intrigued by Lidia Bastianich's Squash Tiramisu recipe. That sounds like a must try!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
Spicy mustard and I usually say sharp cheddar, but someone in the comments above mentioned Brie and my heart skipped a beat.
Cook the Book: Jamie at Home
Roasted squash with butter, pepper, and honey.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
The smell of bacon cooking in the morning at my grandparent's house.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
Dijon mustard, very soft white bread, and maybe a little sharp cheddar. Then grill it all together.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Large pieces of thick cut bacon in a big bowl of homemade baked beans full of brown sugar and maple syrup.
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'
There's a pasta dish he created with collard greens and sausage that I absolutely adore.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
Just a good spicy mustard and a slice of sharp cheddar.
Mike's Pastry vs. Modern Pastry Shop: Holy Cannoli!
Love seeing Boston area spots on Serious Eats! But I call shenanigans. In my opinion, Mike's Pastry is the only appropriate answer here :)
Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'
I loved strawberry cake with vanilla icing. I'm 28 and I still ask for "pink" cake on my birthdays.

From personal experience I know that the "Best Drop Biscuits" really are excellent, but I'd love to get down with some Pumpkin Pie Brulee too.
Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'
My baked feta and artichoke party dip.
My Secret Love for Grape Candy
I'm a grape fiend too! Finally I've found my purple food loving counterpart! My adoration of all things grape began in kindergarten when I determined that purple was my absolute favorite color. I religiously chewed Grape Bubblicious until my jaw ached and carefully picked out the Grape Skittles from the package. If only they still made that grape cereal - what a cool find!
Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'
Macaroni and cheese all the time.
Homemade Nilla Wafers (Leave the Box on the Shelf)
I can't wait to try these! Great share, thank you!
Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'
I love simple tomato sauces with herbs and parm. I like the sauce to be smooth though and it definitely can't have meat.
Flatbread Company: 'Wonderfully Wonderful'
What a great review. This Flatbread in Portland was one of my favorite pizza destinations when I lived there. I still miss it!
Can 'Pushing Daisies' Increase Awareness of Pie With Cheese?
Thank you for linking to my pie attempt from last year's apple picking expedition Erin. I can't wait to attempt another one this year. The Gruyere crust really is amazing. Some day I'll perfect those messy edges. Thank you again!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Saucier's Apprentice'
I had the "great idea" to make stuffed chicken. So I pounded out the breasts, layered them with cheese and veggies, and rolled them up neatly. Then I secured them with toothpicks. Rainbow toothpicks. Dinner that evening was very festively colored... I don't know what I was thinking. It was a very blue soup Bridget Jones moment.
