I'm most definitely a dark chocolate girl
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: A Year of Chocolate
Dark all the way - I was a big fan even before we found out it was good for us!
Weekend Book Giveaway: Judith Jones's 'The Tenth Muse'
While I'm also an admitted Julia Child fan I have to say Marcella Hazan. She started my love affair with Italian cooking - so much so that I even went on a cooking school trip to Italy. It turns out that the chef who taught us had even worked with her on a few projects so I almost felt like a learned a little from her as well during that trip. You know you can always go back to her recipes and they will never fail you!

I'll have to go with ricotta and spinach stuffed crepes with a basic tomato sauce that I learned when I went to a cooking school for a week in a villa in Tuscany. So light you wouldn't believe it.

Grandma Crocetti's Italian fried dough cookies., cenci. So good. And the best part was the powdered sugar you got all over yourself when you ate the cookies.

It is a tie between my mother's cinnamon rolls -- made with raisins and just the right amount of vanilla glaze -- and her recipe for blonde brownies with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. I just made my mother's blonde brownie recipe for my three year old daughter and she can't get enough of them. Eating them reminds me of my childhood.

I was always most excited when my mother made her chocolate chip mondel bread / mondel brot. I certainly have not outgrown it - now, I make it myself (not too often!).

I have never outgrown my love for almost anything chocolate. My favorite dessert as a child was a blackbottom pie from a local bakery. I have tried it other places and have looked through (and baked) dozens of recipes, but I have never been able to find a decent substitute since the bakery closed down. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

My fave was and still is chocolate brownies. Mmmm...

My Mom made this cookie with 3 ingredients, peanuts, Capn Crunch's Peanut Butter Cereal, and almond bark, melted to hold it all together. I think I've outgrown it -- mostly because Capn Crunch just changed the consistency of the cereal -- takes some getting used to.
