Cook the Book: New South Grilling

My dad would always have some kind of soup on the kitchen stove. I would walk home from school to have lunch during the school year. All of my friends were jealous, because they lived too far to walk home, and they "had to have sandwiches" all the time. Thanks for this opportunity!

Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'

My favorite grillng condiment is not really a condiment, but, for me, a necessity. I love to side-grill vegetables. Something about the flavor of the char-grilled vegetables just spells S-U-M-M-E-R for me. Thanks for this opportunity.

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

My mom used to make a home-cooked meal each and every night. This despite working full time - and without a microwave! The ethnic dishes are the meals I miss the most - chicken and dumplings - kolache - kapusta, YUM! Thanks for this chance.

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

In the past, I have grown tomatoes, peppers and onions. Many years later, I still grow the onions and have added dill, mint and chives. I would love to grow corn, but do not have the needed space. Thanks for this opportunity!

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

After each meal, any leftovers are divided into take to work containers, where I reheat, and eat them during the week. This saves so much time in the morning when getting ready. Thanks for this opportunity!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Around the World in 80 Dinners'

slovakia because that is my heritage, italy because it is my husband's heritage, and a ride across Route 66 in the USA because we have never done it. Thanks for this opportunity.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

My favorite Easter food is a traditional Czechoslovakian pastry. It is called kolach - a rolled dough with different fillings that when cut looks like a pinwheel. Delicious. I usually make it with my older brother over this holiday. Thanks for the opportunity.

My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

It is sorta strange, but IBC rootbeer always reminds me of my dad. As a treat to us kids, once in a while he would stop at the grocery store after work and buy IBC root beer and Vanilla ice cream as a treat for us kids (root beer floats)

My dad loves cabbage rolls. His grandmother used to make them, and the recipe came from the "Old Country".
