Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

I've never had a truly wonderful knife, but the Victorinox Chef's Knife is pretty stellar for $25.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I grew up with vegetarian parents, but I ate meat every chance I got. When we took big family camping trips in the summer, I would wander over to my aunt and uncle's campsite just in time for breakfast. Nothing like bacon and sausage cooked outdoors in a cast iron skillet!

SE Staff Picks: What's Your Worst Hangover Food?

Anything sweet sounds absolutely repulsive when I'm hungover. Salty, greasy, carb-laden food is what I crave. Also, I generally don't get hangovers unless I've overindulged on some wretched sugary drink, so sweet foods just bring back memories of the night's mistakes.

The Cider Press: 3 Michigan Cideries You Should Know

I love Tandem Ciders! It's a welcome addition to a day of wine touring on the Leelanau. If you go, get a pickled egg to accompany your cider tasting and hang out afterward for a game of horseshoes.

Poll: What's Your Choice of the Chains?

Papa John's is my choice of national chains, but when I'm home in Michigan "chain" pizza is almost always Cottage Inn.

Cook the Book: 'Super Natural Every Day'

My favorite healthy meal is any variation of Heidi's "big bowl" with a grain, veggies, and protein. Recent favorite was quinoa with sauteed mushrooms and asparagus, slivers of pickled carrot, chopped parsley and a poached egg. Yum!

Drink the Book: 'Jelly Shot Test Kitchen'

Unfortunately, I think the most creative jello shot I've ever had just involved differently colored layers. I'd love to try some of the sophisticated jello shots in this book!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Truffle Lovers Pasta

I've had truffle butter, truffle oil, and truffle salt, all of which lead me to believe that actual truffles would be mindblowingly delicious.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I was raised vegetarian, and although my parents were fine with me eating meat away from home, it didn't happen very often. The first time I remember having bacon was during a family camping trip when I was 7 or 8. My aunt and uncle cooked it over the campfire and I thought it was the most delicious thing I'd ever had.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia

Wrapped with basil around a goat-cheese stuffed date and popped under the broiler for 5 minutes.
