Love it with some creamy cheese on crusty bread.

Cream, no sugar!

I'm still using my first kitchen! It's a small galley kitchen in my apartment. This cookbook looks right up my (g)alley!

So easy to make and always one of my favorites - magic cookie bars (or seven layer bars, depending on what your exact method is)!

I make a shrimp and fennel pasta. As long as the shrimp has been cleaned and deveined in advance - it's a snap!

Haven't traveled much outside the US, but every trip I've taken to NYC has turned out to include some of the best food I've ever had!

Lightly toasted bagel schmeared with some scallion or chive cream cheese, coffee and a chocolate croissant.

The first banh mi I ever had - this summer at Baoguette on St. Mark's.

I had the most amazing chocolate dessert at Pigalle in Boston once. It was a special for the evening and so I can't describe it fully, but it was my first time having the chile and chocolate combination and I loved it!

So sad. As much as a big deal is made out of Julia Child (and rightly so), I remember cooking with my mom out of the Silver Palate cookbooks the most. I think they've had more influence on my interest in cooking than anything else. The SP gazpacho recipe is just amazing.

I've also accidentally frozen eggs before and had the same experience as MollieBeth. I just peeled off the shell and used them for scrambled eggs and I think, even in a baked good and it all turned out fine.

Rolled bread with pepperoni and cheese, mmmmmmm.

I've said once and I'll say it again: pumpkin creme brulee!
