My favorite meatless meal is a supposedly greek dish called Kolsun, which is basically spinach stuffed in a pastry. I have never been able to find a recipe like it though. It is spinach (mixed with a little something extra) stuffed into an oily pastry dough. The edges are crimped and then baked till the edges are golden brown. It is actually my favorite meal, but that is probably partially due to the fact my mother made it only rarely during the year. I have figured out how to make it myself now :)

I have seen Will Work for Food and it is more like a "How its Made" for food instead of a cooking show. I like that kind of show though so I usually DVR new episodes.

My favorite summer recipe is a cold veggie pizza. Not with tomato sauce and stuff, but a croissant roll crust with a cream cheese dill spread on the crust and then broccoli and cauliflower and whatever other veggies you can get cut up small. Finished up with a nice bit of cheddar cheese on top.

I have always been a big fan of mushroom and swiss burgers, so I ordered them a lot when I was little. I don't remember where this was or how old I was, but the first time I was ever asked how I wanted my burger cooked I said medium since that is how my dad always got his steaks cooked. My parents said to make it well done and I protested. The waitress told me to listen to my parents and then proceeded to order it medium for me. It wasn't all that special, but it was the juiciest burger I had ever had since my dad usually overcooked burgers and smashed the juice out of them. Needless to say, when I cook burgers now, I cook them the way I like them, medium!

I love Pupusas, though I have only had them once.

My favorite fruit based desert is cherry cobbler. The best way to have it though is like my dad used to make it when I was a little kid and a boy scout. It was made in a cast iron dutch oven that was heated with coals from our campfire. Something about being camping always made the food taste better for some reason.

Well I have only actually made pasta at home once, and by chance that was just last night! It was just your standard spaghetti, but it is good. The next pasta I am going to make is a home made cheese ravioli. Yum! Thanks for the giveaway!

I don't really have an exciting taco experience, but I never like tacos much outside of home because my mother has always made her own special taco meat recipe that makes tacos so much more enjoyable. Thanks for the giveaway!

my fondest food memories are pretty much all from when we used to go camping. For some reason, everything always seemed to taste best when we were camping. One of the best camping dishes was beef stew cooked in a cast iron dutch oven with apple cobbler cooked in a different dutchoven

I'm not sure if this is exactly a twist, but it was new for me. I ordered vegetable lasagna for our employee recognition dinner last year. I was expecting a standard style lasagna with red sauce except it had veggies instead of pasta. What I got instead was roasted vegetables layered with tons of ricotta cheese (mixed with some other cheese too I think) and an amazing white sauce of some sort. I'm not really sure what was in the white sauce, but it was the best lasagna (veggie or meat) I have ever had. Oh and the portion size was so big that I couldn't even actually finish it.

When I first got my own place, I really wanted to have cream cheese wontons at like midnight. I actually went to a 24hour superstore, but all the ingredients I thought maybe they used along with a bunch of oil, cooking utensils, and a deep fryer (I didn't own any of that stuff yet). I ended up trying a few different combinations of ingredients and never did find the perfect combo. Oh and that was my first time using wonton wrappers too so I no idea how to use or seal them at first. All in all, I spent WAY too much money for so-so wontons that I could have gotten just fine if I could have waited 12 hours.

Well lets see, I love all seafood so that's a tough question. About the only seafood I ever prepare are breaded shrimp from the freezer though since it is either too hard to find good seafood around here or I am too cheap to buy it. Everything is fair game though when I go out to eat.
