The Varying Food Preferences of Conservatives and Liberals
I'm about as conservative as they come, and I fit mostly into the liberal foodie type. I guess going to an extremely liberal school will do that :)
Help me understand a confusing Giada salad
I make a black bean and corn salad with lime juice, among other things. Adds a nice zing at the end!
What's Your Favorite Sandwich?
Whole grain bread, nutella and bananas...grilled and sprinkled with brown sugar. Or whole grain bread with sharp cheddar and green apples, again grilled.

What would you eat for 30 days?
greek salad, or sushi. yum.
What Did You Eat Today?
So far just a Jonagold apple and a Skinny Vanilla Latte. My teeth are really bugging me from those super-extra powerful Crest Whitestrips.
Frozen Pea Pops for Kids
It gives me an idea though...how about frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries? That'd be neat!
Creative Sushi Filling Ideas?
Granny Smith apples and tuna was a favorite...so was Mozzarella, Jalapeno and Salmon. I made one roll for my ex boyfriend that loved (totally NON traditional)...prosciutto, provolone, broccoli rabe and shiitake mushroom. it sounds like the weirdest combination...but it worked!! I also like one roll I had at a trendy sushi place here...Asparagus, mushroom and roasted pumpkin! It was the "Autumn Roll"
My Breakfast of Champions – What is yours?
Egg white omelet with asparagus and baby bella mushrooms, with lots of green Tabasco!!
Apple Pie in NJ - Please help...
Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck or Dearborn Farms in Holmdel both make EXCELLENT pies!
No Soup For You - Favorite Soups!
Minestrone, French Onion, Mushroom Barley, Broccoli Cheese, Miso, Tomato and GOOD Hot and Sour! droooooooooool....
SE College Division...
I'm in!! I go to Penn State :) I have some good tailgate recipes and stories :)
Brown rice risotto!
I used Pacific Foods Low Sodium Veggie broth...and a glass of white wine...and a few more splashes :)
Best summer dish?
Potentially the shrimp and asparagus risotto I made the other night for my new love interest :) Or the sesame encrusted Ahi tuna I had on our first date. Most of my best meals are ones I shared with someone I love...or did love. :)
Expresso vs Espresso: A pro-Expresso Rant
This is one of my pet peeves. I'm not going to get all high-horse because I'm Italian and whatnot, but I think if you are indulging in the another culture's food/beverage/custom, you should do your best to pronounce and partake properly. I'm not saying go learn Italian, but to completely ignore how the word is spelled and add in letters is a little silly. This is akin to my pet peeve of hearing "rih-cot-uh" cheese and "man-ih-coddy". The same goes for all ethnic cuisine--learn to pronounce and appreciate it, and I bet it'll be even more enjoyable.
Cherry etiquette?
I take the pit out and put it in a cup/paper towel. I've seen my co-workers eat some nasty stuff/eat like animals (saucy chicken wings, ribs, etc) so I have no qualms about a nice little healthy snack :)
Cooking Myths?
Risotto and adding liquid 1 cup at a time. I have had the same results using all the liquid at once versus adding cup by cup. The key is stirring constantly.
I know this has been discussed before, but I don't care, in a good way
There's no need for sarcasm. A little niceness goes a mile around here.
I've heard that that dessert truck is good...the one with the good creme brulee?
Served: New York Is Not the Only Place for a Restaurant
I live right near Frenchtown, in Flemington. It is the cutest little town and SO relaxing! :)
"Healthy" cereal
Oh Whole Foods. I try and avoid their salad bar. I never do, and end up with a $12+ salad, LOL
An olden-day cold cereal that resembled dog food...
Grape nuts look like shrunken kibbles to me. :)
what is the first thing you grab?
Pretzels and a diet coke. I love pretzels. Or an apple, orange or pear.
Instant Potatoes & Other Embarrassing Food Stuff
Potato flakesss.
However, I don't make mashed potatoes with them...I drop blobs of them into a pan and make my version of a potato latke. That's what my mom did when I came home from a friend's and asked for them. Hey, we're italian and she went through a phase! lol :)
oh, and stuffing mix. I don't know why the Pepperidge farm bread is so much better stale and cubed...but it is!

it's the domino's observation in further detail. Delivery pizza places in DC can figure our which side is working into the night on an issue by what kinds of pizzas are ordered.

Smoked turkey is a huge favorite of mine! Last week we made smoked turkey legs for our weekly BBQ soaked the hickory chips in beer and then finished off with a glaze of bbq sauce. A grill does just fine for a smoker, gas or charcoal.
