Every year for the Christmas party I'm usually on appetizer duty. I will usually make bacon and dates in mass quantities. It is super easy and mostly everyone loves it. Simply take a date, roll it in a strip of bacon, bake until bacon is crispy, and stick a toothpick through it. You can't go wrong. :-)

Use a bit of cornstarch to thicken the juice. Frozen berries tend to give off more runny juices. It will certainly taste just as great though!

good cook = good food

It would most likely be spinach and cheese pie. No one else can do it right.

Congratulations!!

Usually just a cup of coffee. On the rare occasion that I'm hungry early in the morning, I'll sometimes make an english muffin/egg/cheese melt to go.

I'll probably give these a try, too. Kashi products, in general, I tend to avoid. Their cereals aren't bad, but when it comes to the small snacks like the TLC bars... I know they're healthy, but I just can't get over the bland taste.

Raw onions are great, but there is nothing like caramelized. Cooking them with mushrooms is especially great. The mushrooms soak up all the flavor. Add that to an omelet with cheese. Delicious!
