In Love with Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses
I love the candy cane Kisses!! :) :) We also got the hot chocolate Kisses..but they don't really taste different from just regular milk chocolate kisses. Don't care for them at all.
What's Your Favorite Halloween Candy?
@deliah We used to organize everything too :)
Um I'll pretty much eat anything sweet (that's what she said...)
but seriously, i could a ton of kit kats...any other chocolate candy (like twix or reeses) is too sweet to eat a ton of!
how many aprons
I have one that I made....it's reversible and pretty cuuute.

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
Hmm...I've had a couple. But probably the funniest/worst was adding 2 tbsp of baking SODA instead of baking powder (I think that's what it was at least)....to cookies. SO gross!!!

Do you love ripe melons? Which are your favorites?
Honeydew is my favorite!
Soda, cola, pop, coke, etc.?
Soda. My boyfriend calls it pop (he is from Michigan) and I tell him now that he lives here in california he can't use that word :) He doesn't listen.
Fresh Artichokes
Well instead of dipping in butter you could find something, or make something, that is better for you.
I just randomly searched and http://www.artichokes.org/ has a few good ideas on different neat ways to prepare them under the Recipe section.
Who's going to win Top Chef?
I'm not sure yet! Usually when about half the people are gone I can tell more. I can usually pick who they are going to kick though. I did like the girl who won the challenge. I'm glad it's back on too :)
Soft sugar cookies?
I've made this recipe twice...they are really, really good. Very soft and light.
2 1/4 cup all purpose white flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter (real unsalted)
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
-Cream the butter and cream cheese, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Then add the rest of the ingredients.
-Refrigerate for two hours
-I basically make these as drop cookies but I'll form them to about 1/4 inch thick round cookies...so they cook pretty ;)
-Bake at 350 degrees for about 13 minutes
Going to pick strawberries... now what?
Make some strawberry lemonade too :) Yummers.
What kind of kick are you on?
For a while it was a big cup of hot chocolate in the evening with whipped cream. I just got a wisdom tooth pulled and my latest love is mashed sweet potatoes.
What's your favorite warm weather beverage?
Well...we don't have warm weather...we have hot as heck weather. Anything frozen...iced coffees...water mostly.
You'll never see ____ on my grocery list
Ew Crisco! Blech! Mine would never have: green beans. So, I would say I wouldn't personally buy a lot of that "fake" stuff mentioned above, but my other half loves most of that :O Remember that bagel w/cream cheese post the other day? Yeah, he couldn't wait to buy them. YUCK.
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
I love Chipolte (I get the salad), I don't really consider it fast food..i guess it is though :(
Are you more picky about certain categories of foods?
I would say that I am kind of like you when it comes to desserts. There are just desserts that I am not fond of at all. Like you said, why pack in those extra calories if it's not something that tastes yummy! I don't care for pies at all, usually don't care for cake (cupcakes i love if they have good frosting!), only like one kind of donut. Wow, I'm picky. But really if you have a plate of cookies, brownies, cheesecake, anything chocolate..I'm doomed! I also constantly bake...so the gym is my friend :P
The only other thing I can think of is I am very picky about sauces on my Italian food! I really don't care for red sauce at all..I KNOW. So usually don't eat spaghetti w/it, or lasagna, and would definitely never order anything w/it if we're out to dinner.
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
Lemons, well since they only have burgers, fries and shakes... :) You can build your burger as high as you want though (can you say 10x10?). And don't forget to order your burger and/or fries "animal style" (they add pickle, extra spread and grilled onions + cheese on the fries). Mmm.
What flavor is your cheesecake?
Friends episode with the cheesecake, anyone? I love every kind of cheesecake. The best I've had is at a local Italian place - a vanilla bean cheesecake, holy yum!!! The best I've made was pumpkin, caramel apple, and a few of my own little creations.
I'd rather not eat soggy _____
I'm with you Kerosena :) I love my 'squishy' fries, non-crunchy cereal, sopping up soup, etc., with my bread. Mmm.
I love the sog!
What do you drink when you're at home?
Lots of water, sometimes milk, wine and *sweetened* tea.
Strongest Craving... Sweet OR Salty??
Sweet breakfast & dessert!
Slow Cooker Go-To Recipes
I second the ribs, the best ribs I ever had we made in the slow cooker. mmm.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sablés
That's a tough question. The first thing that comes to mind are these cheesecake bars I made during x-mastime. Chocolate wafer/coffee crust, chocolate cheesecake filling, topped with a thin layer of a dark chocolate mixture. So good.
