Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
My mom's tacos nothing fancy, but always one of our favorite family meals.
What's your spice aversion?
Tarragon - most people who use it overuse it.
Anise - never did like it.

Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Cheese
bacon
perfectly ripe strawberries
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I would have to say Pioneer Woman. I read it almost every day and all of the recipes of hers that I have prepared have been incredible!
Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table
Tortellini cooked in chicken broth -- "Ravs and Broth" is what we call them.
Video: André Soltner Makes an Omelet
Our local PBS station ran some of the original French Chef episodes during their fund drive. They had the omelet show in all of its B&W glory. This clip made me think of it. Of course no one can make an omelet like Julia could.
What Are We Eating Today-10/14
Right now I am munching on Trader Joe's Teriyaki Turkey Jerky -- It is so good!! Unfortunately it is really expensive. I wish I could find a lower cost alternative that even came close to this.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
Pumpkin Bars with cream cheese frosting!
Nice Kitchen, Pioneer Woman
I love her sight. I have been following it almost from the begining. I read it pretty much every day. I have been amazed to see how the number of commenters have grown. When I first started reading it there would be less than 100 comments to a post -- usually far less. If she had a "name that picture" contest their might be a few hundred entries. Now when she has a contest there are usually more than 10,000 entries. It has grown in popularity so quickly!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Joy of cooking -- I still love to use it.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Joy of Cooking -- I still use it quite often. It is probably the most used cookbook I own.
No More Warmed Over Leftovers...
I always "recycle" leftovers. Proteins like pork chops, pork tenderloins or Chicken on day two are turned into lo mein or fried rice. Sometimes I will go the mexican route and go with enchiladas or quesadillas. In the winter I use beef or chicken leftovers for some sort of soup -- many variations. I always save my chicken carcuses for stock.
Seeking a 1984 Bon Appetit Yule Log Recipe
ILike Smokey07, I contacted them for a recipe that was published in the late eighties and they sent me a copy via snail mail. It took some time, but they did send me the recipe.
RIP Sheila Lukins
Very sad! Her Silver Palate Cookbook was my bible when I first began to entertain. I used her recipes for brunch, cocktail, and many a dinner party. I spent way too much on incredible ingredients and loved every minute of it. Her cookbooks helped make me a confident cook and hostess.
Not Technically Food Books, But Books with Good Food Passages
Robert Parker's Spencer books. Not about food but it is clear that Spencer enjoys good food and can cook good food. His descriptions often make my hungry. It doesn't hurt that I love his books.
Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
Pasta with lots of butter, black pepper and parm.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Michael Simon!!
julie/julia
I saw the movie this weekend. I agree with most comments... I really enjoyed the movie. The Julia parts were incredible the Julie parts were okay. Stanley Tucchi was wonderful as Paul and Meryl was a triumph as Julia.
The chopped onion scene was absolutely hilarious!!!
Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
I was just out of college living with three roommates. I woke up early one morning and decided to make my roomies breakfast. I used an apple muffin mix but decided to doctor the recipe a bit. I sprinkled a cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of each muffin before baking -- much to everyone's surprise, I used cayenne pepper instead of cinnamon.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
Good beef, carmelized onions, sharp cheddar cheese on a buttered and grilled bun. Some heinz ketchup would also be welcome to this party.
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
Making perogies with grandma
Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
The first time my father cooked stirfry -- it seemed so exotic -- all of the little bowls of veggies and meat-- the huge electric wok chop sticks at each of our places while my 5 siblings and I gathered around to watch the show. My Irish Mother who was always distrustful of rice watched on with less enthusiasm.
Unexpected pizza toppings
a light coating of Alfredo sauce, carmelized onions and aspargus. top with a little parmesan.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
fajitas, hands down.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Grandy's roast beef, carrots, and mashed potatoes
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Mom's from-the-Campbell's-can versions of Chicken a la King and Beef Stroganoff!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Mom's homemade lasagna, bread, and apple pie.
What's Your Favorite Sandwich?
The roast beef at Manny's Deli in Chicago. I get it extra rare on an onion roll that is SOAKED in roast beef juice. The potato pancake and pickle on the side aren't too shabby either.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Coming from a Turkish household, my favorite family dinner is mercimek çorbasi (lentil soup) with köfte (ground beef/meatball-like patties), domatesli pilav (tomato rice), and yogurt.
What's your spice aversion?
CUMIN... after 3 weeks in India a few years ago, i developed an aversion to cumin after a whole week straight of eating food seasoned with cumin. Everything tasted the same.
Now, I can't even smell it at the supermarket.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Favorite family dinner would have to be my childhood birthday meal of Earl Abel's fried chicken and black bottom pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Sauerbraten and homemade sides.

Our favorite family dinner is Homemade Lasagna with a green salad and homemade yeast rolls.

spaghetti and meatballs
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
meatloaf and mashed potatoes!
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
ribs. lasagna. soup. anything my mom makes
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Our favorite comfort food is mapo tofu - spicy and warming - over rice with some sauteed greens. Something about one bowl foods you can hold in your hand do it for us...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Pasta with meat sauce and bread!

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.
