Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

I come from a Hamburger Helper family. Rice Oriental was the favorite in our house.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

I have to admit, mine is the best I've eaten. I just use a yellow cornbread mix (usually Martha White), add Pace's Picante Sauce, grated cheddar cheese and whole kernal corn. Extra cheese goes on top. Yuuummmy! For restaurant cornbread, it has to be Mama's Daughter's Diner in Lewisville, Texas.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

Honey-baked ham and I have to have green bean casserole. Not fancy, just yummy.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

For real food, it has to be honey-baked ham, but for candy I love Smuckers Puckers jelly beans. They are sour and yummy and you can only find them this time of year, so I usually stock up (but I haven't found them this year, so they may be gone for good).

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'

Shortly after we got married, my husband got a fortune that said "You need to share good news with those far away." Just keep in mind that his family (who live in Poland) didn't even know there was someone serious in his life.

Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'

I grew up in a Hamburger Helper family, so I learned a lot on my own. As a grownup, I learned so much from CookWise by Shirley Corriher. I still rely on it to help with less familiar techniques.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Secret Ingredients, the New Yorker Book of Food and Drink'

I have to add my vote for Bourdain. He goes places and eats things I can't even imagine.

Cook the Book: Simple Chocolate Mousse

I love almost all chocolate desserts, but have two particular favorites. One is strawberry brownies with strawberry cream cheese frosting (I like to think I invented this one) and the other is Chocolate Decadence ice cream by Blue Bell, not fancy, but really yummy.

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

My Korean wedding banquet. OK, she had help, but I know her food and her organizational skills and so I can confidently say, she prepared this meal. And it was amazing and I will always remember it.

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

Mom rarely puts her heart into cooking. About twenty years ago, though, she prepared meat fondue -- that was great fun! And most memorable. Loved cooking my beef and chicken in the hot oil at the table. She also allowed all of us to make our own assortment of dipping sauces. My brother mixed grape jelly with godknowswhat. We all laughed. It's a shame we never had it again.

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

Her cooking and baking was so phenomenal, it's impossible to choose. She was always trying new recipes, especially from Julia and Jacques. I loved her pies and gratins.
