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

I make a mean three-bean spicy chili that is perfect for fall/winter. It's got a rich tomato base which makes it really flavorful. Top it off with some aged cheddar cheese and some salsa, and you're good to eat.

How often do you follow a recipe exactly as written?

Rarely, if ever... I prefer to think of them as "guidelines"

America's Best Hot Dog Town: Cast Your Vote

Chicago-style, hands down. Crispy charred dog, onions, tomatoes, sport peppers, neon relish, mustard and celery salt on a poppy seed bun - to die for.

Best Find from Trader Joes?

The Trader Joe's brand minestrone soup is especially good.

What fruit could you eat every day for the rest of your life?

It's a tie between raspberries and strawberries - can't make up my mind!

Cook the Book: 'Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant'

Lentils with curried veggies in garlic (onions, carrots, peas) and a dollop of sour cream

Chill Out, Miller Advertising Staff

It's gross. Besides, why drink a "fake" chelada, when you can make your own by adding the real lime, salt, and other ingredients yourself? Does anyone prefer chemical, processed drinks over the real thing?

Cook the Book: 'The Breakaway Cook'

Probably cumin. It's so much more versatile than many think. Also lemon juice has gotten me away from over using butter, and dressing my vegetables more simply.

America's Best Hot Dog Town: Cast Your Vote

I'm sure if you like bland tomatoes, plain yellow mustard, and raw onion, etc etc... then Chicago dogs are fine. I personally don't like drowning a good beef hotdog with all those condiments. Give me a delectable grilled Hebrew National topped with a slightly spicy mustard and some homemade relish...absolute perfection! If you go this route with a Vienna dog, you will soon realize where it pales in comparison to the much superior Hebrew National dog. Sauerkraut can also be a good option, but it's an acquired taste. I find tomatoes and yellow mustard to be a clash of flavors in any situation. Long live Hebrew National, king of the hotdogs!!!!

Best Find from Trader Joes?

The chocolate!! I can't go back to the grainy, cloyingly sweet Hersheys stuff anymore; I can't afford to buy only high-quality imported European brand names, what's a girl to do? TJ's has some of the best store-branded chocolate, most coming from Belgium, for only a bit more than generic American chocolate. :) Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Blog name: Hunter Angler Gardener Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast
My URL: www.honest-food.net
What it's about/tagline: Found foods, foraging, unusual veggies, wild game and fish -- all with serious eating in mind. I am a cook who hunts, not a hunter who cooks. My bent is the Mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal) although I have a weakness for American recipes from the 1600s and 1700s. I also review wines from both the Mediterranean and from my local regional wineries in the Sierra Foothills, Lodi and Clarksburg.

I'll leave my new blog under the Serious Eats Christmas Eve tree here.

It's called Fast Food Feminist .

Today's story is about a Christmas ham in what used to be East Berlin.

I haven't told the story of how I was given the name "Fast Food Feminist" yet. That's probably like a New Year's Day story. :)

Blog Name: The Kitchen Scale
URL: http://thekitchenscale.typepad.com/the_kitchen_scale/
What it's about: Trying to reconcile a love for food and weight loss. Mostly recipes and whatnot with the occasional rant about weight loss/body image. Its not a blog about what anyone should do, but its a chronicle of something everyone struggles with. Sometimes the food will be conducive to weight loss and sometimes not so much.

The blog is still a baby, I'm still finding my voice, and its been on a little break, but will be returning soon. Any feedback would be really helpful and appreciated.
