Perfect mashed potatoes!

Ohhh... that honey-brined turkey sounds awesome.

Definitely the Salt Lick near Austin. Nothing makes me happier than walking in and seeing that huge bbq pit. It's the BEST.

The best tacos I ever had were from a taco stand in LA a few years ago. I grew up in Texas and consider myself a taco expert, but those tacos blew me away.

I will travel to Texas to visit my husband's CRAZY family just to eat his aunt's potato salad. I don't know what she does to that stuff, but it is worth the insanity.

Totally cliche, but I want to lose weight this year. But for a good reason - we want to have a baby!

I feel like I should say something fancy, but lately my favorite chocolate dessert has been Ritz Bitz peanut butter crackers dipped in chocolate. I probably ate my body weight in them over the holidays.

My mom used to sing bacon song when she made breakfast on the weekends, I still sing it every time I cook bacon.

Definitely my mawmaw's chocolate pie!

I like to throw some chicken in the crock pot with tomatillo salsa and garlic... shred it after work for tacos, salads, nachos, whatever.

Mmmm... ham. I like it with mayo, tomato and good cheddar.

On Sesame Street (I think), when I was growing up, there was a song about all the things you could smell with your nose. The end line of each verse was "I can smell the bacon frying, I'm so glad I've got a nose", and to this day any time my mom makes bacon she sings that song. I love it.
