I have always like broiled lamb chops, heavy on the garlic rub, with a side of mashed potatoes.

yum. fish is so good. i could eat it every day, any way.

my mom made an olive oil angle food cake with shaved dark chocolate throughout. addictive.

Good old Betty Crocker! As a wedding shower joke my mom gave me her circa 1950's BC cookbooks. I really never used them, but I still keep them as they provide huge laughs. All they talk about is throwing classy themed dinner parties (make sure everyone has enough cigarettes!!!) and how to keep a husband (by greeting him at the door with a drink, a smile, and your lipstick on and hair done!). funny stuff.

new jersey truly is the garden state! we love our tomatoes, berries, blueberries, corn, apples and many other farm and orchard blessings.

That bad date takes the cake! That guy is a loser. and sucks!

sweet: reese's peanut butter cup
savory: scallop wrapped in bacon

1. grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches
2. tuna melts
3. eggs and toast
4. leftovers
5. not too yummy, but cereal and milk, or oatmeal, or a yogurt.

things that won't leave me with too many dishes!

i like a nice eggplant parm. great, baked homemade mac and cheese also hits the spot!

biggest disaster... forgetting to add the eggs when making a homemade cake.

biggest success... having my father-in-law hide my all butter coffee cakes and horde them for himself.

made my first tapas and gazpacho at 16 when my mom made us learn how to cook over summer vacation. thanks mom!

any tapas shared with my beloved husband and fellow foody!

taco bell isn't that bad for fast food. I'll eat some of the items on the menu, I just make sure i don't get the sour cream. it doesn't taste that great and just adds calories. i still feel better (less full and gross) than when i eat at a "burger" joint. maybe once every two months.
