Oikos Yogurt

I like Fage but find it very overpriced for a rather small cup -- Oikos is good, but lately I've switched to Chobani Greek yogurt--available at Whole Foods and other stores in northern New Jersey -- it comes in flavors, but I always get the Vanilla and add trail mix, gogi berries, etc. to it -- delicious -- and the price is less than Fage,

..... Parmesan Cheese! The real deal --- all dishes made with Parmesan -- could get very creative!, but nothing too strange- no chocolate/parmesan desserts, etc. Other than that, it would be heaven!

P.S. Re the garlic themed restaruant -- in Madison, NJ there is a restaurant called Garlic Rose -- all garlic, all the time, every dish -- I can't go near the place and if you are with someone who does, you can't go near them for a couple of days.

Bring PB&J up a notch!

Crunchy peanut butter spread on grainy bread, topped with very thin slices of apples, sprkled with cinnamon! Excellent!

Would you rather give up ice cream or cookies?

Could never give up cookies! A good homemade cookie with oatmeal, chocolate chips, nuts and dried cherries is one of life's simiple, but exquisite pleasures.

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway

My brand-new favorite is a Maple Baked Tofu recipe published in the fall issue of Eating Well -- it's delicious-- don't be turned off by the "maple"--it's just a tiny bit of pure maple syrup that makes for a delicious, complex flavor. Baking tofu is such a refreshing change from all those tofu stir-fry recipes.

A trip down memory lane: What food makes you smile?

Pastina cooked in chicken broth with a beaten egg added while the broth boils--finished off with butter and lots of parmesan once the mixture thickens. Delicious! My mother always made it for me when I had a bad cold as a kid. I made it for my daughter who is now 23 and still loves it.
