Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I love Elise's Simply Recipes and Dorie Greenspan's baking blog from Paris!
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
When I was about 9, my parents took me to New Orleans for a fancy dinner at Brennan's. The bananas foster was the best thing I'd ever tasted, and and I'd never experienced a dessert made table-side. I felt so ladylike and grown up-- I'll never forget that dinner!
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
There's nothing better than caramelized onions and blue cheese on a soft homemade bun, with a heaping pile of skin-on fries and a goodly amount of Heinz ketchup alongside. Oh, and an ice-cold draft Sam Adams. Man, I'm hungry now-- where can I get one in Las Vegas?

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Growing up on the gulf coast, family dinners were usually seafood-based. I'll never top my Dad's fried fish and shrimp gumbo!

Southern dewberry cobbler with fresh-picked berries!
Cook the Book: 'The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread'
Peanut butter chocolate chip! In a pinch, Trader Joe's "Sutter's Formula" cookies are a decent substitute.
Mixed Review: Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread vs. Homemade Pumpkin Yeast Bread
I just made this Trader Joe's pumpkin bread this evening! I have to say, it was pretty darn good. I was a bit frightened by the presence of dehydrated pumpkin on the label, and it was certainly enhanced by a dollop of whipped cream, but it was very quick and I only dirtied one bowl!
Also, you've gotta love that the ingredients in the mix are recognizable. I bought a Betty Crocker cake mix for the first time in years a few weeks ago and was disgusted to see that it was comprised mostly of artificial flavors and corn-based substances. All in all, the TJ's mix is pretty decent.
Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'
My favorite (and most memorable) pie will forever be the Lemon Icebox Pie from Luby's, a cafeteria chain that's common in my home state of Texas. My family always congregated there after church on Sunday afternoons, and anticipating that pie always got me through the long service.
Cold Cereal Confessions
It's ALL about the Golden Grahams. I could eat them every single day. I think I may have to purchase a box this weekend, in fact-- I love eating cereal for dessert!
Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy
Beef bourgignon, my dad's seafood gumbo or homemade salted caramel ice cream.

Cold weather is chili time! Made with fresh tomatoes, chunks of steak and some diced habanero for a little extra kick. A big bowl of chili, caesar salad, and cheddary potato rolls are a truly memorable and satisfying meal.
