Cook the Book: 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'
There is an adorable Italian place in my neighborhood that has a fuscili pasta in a red vodka sauce. It comes with everything. Sounds pedestrian, but it is seriously the best pasta I've ever had. It's amazing!!!
Labor Day Giveaway: Tenderloin Filets and Cedar Grilling Planks
Everything! This summer has been lots of steaks, and some chicken. :)
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume No. 6'
My local farmers market has a honey vendor that is absolutely fascinating to talk to! She has so many kinds from different types of pollen. :)

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
I heart shun! I got it as part of a knife skills class that I took and I've loved it best ever since.

Sponsored Giveaway: Enter to Win Tervis Products
My Brewdog beer glass. It holds my beer perfectly! ;)
Cook the Book: 'The Butcher's Guide to Well-Raised Meat'
Well raised means healthy and humanely inside and out. Treated with respect and fed what it was meant to it, not human leftovers.
Cook the Book: 'The Japanese Grill'
Chicken and every veggie I can get!
Cook the Book: 'In the Small Kitchen'
My first apartment had a joke of a cubby hole for a kitchen. But it was big enough for a microwave to nuke my easy mac, an electric kettle to make coffee, and a refrigerator to hold my leftovers from eating out. I shudder to remember!
Drink the Book Giveaway: 'Homemade Soda'
Learning to make cider would be amazing!
Cook the Book: 'Guy Fieri Food'
Grilled pizza. As long as theres cheese involved I could eat it everyday of forever!
The Crisper Whisperer: Vegetables on Vacation
I like to scope out where I'll eat before I leave for the trip. Check out menus online and choose places that have healthier but still delicious sounding options. Also, check out the sides section! A lot of the chain restaurants will have broccoli or squash you can order as a side, or as a substitution for the blad rice that comes with your entree.
Cook the Book: 'Super Natural Every Day'
Soup! When I want to eat healthy and need inspiration, I toss veggies in a pot with homemade stock. Sometimes I'll add whole grains, or legumes, or a little meat. But it's always mostly veggie, and always delicious!
Father's Day Giveaway: Win a Two-Pound Cowboy Chop
Filet, or anything involving the tenderloin.
Father's Day Book Giveaway: 'Eat Like a Man: The Only Cookbook a Man Will Ever Need'
Not very manly, but butternut squash soup is the best I can do. :)
Cook the Book: 'The Book of New Israeli Food'
My moms falafel, I guess.
Cook the Book: 'The Book of New Israeli Food'
I'm Jewish, so I guess my first Passover dinner? Love foodfrom that region!
Cook the Book: 'Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch'
My veg patch is an aerogarden and a CSA. Lol!
Drink the Book: 'Jelly Shot Test Kitchen'
Actually never had a jello shot. Crazy!
Cook the Book: 'Cooking in the Moment'
The time I came up with blueberry rhubarb pie. So summery and amazing.
Cook the Book: 'Food Trucks'
Deconstructed Reuben with a poached egg and fries. Amazing!
Cook the Book: 'Goat: Meat, Milk, Cheese'
Never had the meat or milk, though I'm sure they're both awesome. But I adore goat cheese anything!
Cook the Book: 'The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook'
Biscuits, corn, and BBQ
Cook the Book: 'Michael's Genuine Food'
Homemade, unprocessed and Made with love
Win Tickets to the James Beard Foundation Book, Broadcast & Journalism Awards Dinner, Friday, May 6
Alton Brown. He has inspired me to cook so many new things over the years, and his was the first cooking show my husband and I watched together. He's so approachable and inventive!
Weekend Giveaway: 'My Father's Daughter'
Tina Fey, so I could get a good laugh while I'm cooking. Hehe.
