Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crisp, but not crunchy or burnt. It should lightly fall apart and almost melt in the mouth. Mmmm, bacon.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
Without a doubt, ribeye. Medium rare. Perfect seasoned with only a little salt and pepper, but also great with a little melted butter and mushrooms. Or a red wine and shallot sauce. Mmmmm, steak...
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway
So hard to choose, but here are a few:
Mushroom Risotto
Cauliflower and Pea Curry
GUACOMOLE! With chopped tomatoes and black olives, mmmm.
When craving a velvety, creamy food, I eat ____
I have a recipe for banana pudding that I got from my mother-in-law (I belive that the recipe was originally published by Eagle brand.) It includes instant pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream (whipped), and of course, bananas and wafers.
The whipped cream is folded into the pudding, and gives it a wonderful light texture. It is almost like banana mousse instead of pudding. Creamy, smooth, sweet, and delicious!
If you had to pick just one...
1. CHOCOLATE (Man, this one was rough!)
2. COFFEE (but I don't tend to drink much coffee or tea)
3. WINE!!!
4. PANCAKES (more versatile)
5. POTATOES (French Fries!!)
6. PIE
7. HAMBURGERS (But if this were versus sausage in general it would be a tough choice)
8. ANY SODA BUT (Classic Coke fiend)
9. ICED TEA – STRAIGHT
10. PEAS
11. PUDDING
12. MAYO FOREVEEEER!
13. EGGS – SCRAMBLED (with heavy cream, mmm)
14. CLAM CHOWDER – WHITE (I do like red though. Haven't had it in years because white is so prevalent.)
15. DARK - especially chicken gizzards, yum.
Are you like Popeye...a spinach lover?
I love spinach, although not the stuff in a can that Popeye was always inhaling.
When I first started dating my now-husband, he told me he wasn't a fan of cooked spinach, much to my disappointment (I will eat it raw, but love it best cooked). I soon found out that his only experiences of "cooked" spinach growing up were canned spinach. I prepared a dish of fresh spinach lightly sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and I had a convert!
I top my oatmeal with ______
Honey and milk or cream. Sometimes yogurt if I want it tangy.
Which is your ultimate comfort food?
Tuna noodle casserole, made with egg noodles and cambell's cream of mushroom soup.
Turnip ideas?
Turnips roots roasted with rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper - they come out deliciously sweet and tender.
I braise the greens with broth and red wine vinegar.
Recently I've run into an abundance of baby turnips with greens at my local farm stand. I roughly chop the roots (if they aren't really tiny ones) and the greens. Saute the roots about 10 minutes in fat, then add the greens, salt, and pepper and cook only until the greens are wilted. I like to use bacon grease for the fat - maybe not the healthiest choice, but, oh, it tastes so good!

Creamy mushroom soup is good, as is a pile of whipped potatoes. Creme brulee is amazing!
When craving a velvety, creamy food, I eat ____
Nutella straight from the jar. I only do this on rare occasions, though. I wish nutella was still made as a slab type thing...they used to make it like a slice of cheese, so it was a solid placed between pieces of bread. Then, German children would take the nutella out and throw the bread away; that's why nutella was switched to a spreadable form. If it was still solid, I could easily pack it and enjoy something creamy while listening to professors' lectures.

I keep kosher now, but when I didn't - bacon wrapped dates at a tapas bar.
