Carbonara schmarbonara...I invented breakfast spaghetti (bacon, eggs and pasta with tons of grated parm and black pepper).

Cook the Book: 'The Food Life'

Fairway Uptown; because it's Fairway, and because it's uptown, and because the cheese guys are nice to me.

Essentials: Collard Greens

I adore slow-cooked collards. Another sub for bacon is a smoked turkey wing--throw it in with the water you've simmered it in and then shred the meat. I also always pitch in a spoonful of sugar and a hit of balsamic vinegar. Sounds weird, but it works (lord, the pot liquor...).

What's the Best Mac and Cheese Cheese?

Ideal: government cheese; failing that Velveeta, both combined with Extra Sharp cheddar and skinned knuckles.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Secret Ingredients, the New Yorker Book of Food and Drink'

Laurie Colwin. Better known for her fiction, and only wrote two books about food, but Home Cooking and More Home Cooking are now and forever my favorites.

Cook the Book: 'Happy in the Kitchen' Giveaway

Happy in the kitchen is when somebody has actually bothered to wash the dishes from the night before (including the pots), and Songs in the Key of Life is on the CD player which, for once, isn't skipping. That was tonight. I made a Scallop and Corn Chowder.

Cook the Book: 'Texas Cowboy Cookbook' Giveaway

My own chili, so unfancy (chopped up onions, pepper, garlic; couple of pounds of ground chuck, 1 can red beans, 1 can black beans, can tomatoes, whatever chili-ish spices are lurking about plus hot sauce depending on how mean I feel, bottle of flat beer) but so good, especially when the dregs are thrown over pasta for the next day's lunch.

I did, actually. I put sugar and all kinds of other stuff in one of my mother's nice bowls about 25 years ago. Microwaved it. It set...pretty hard. I think it was hard candy, but I had to throw the bowl away pretty quickly after that. Whoops.

I cook up whatever fresh vegetables I have (brocolli, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms are often in the mix) as well as pototoes cut in chunks. The micorwave is fine for that part. Then i mix them all together in a wok with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. No name for it, but the family likes it.

I am a creative cook, always coming up with something different. I made a dish with Rice A Roni, hamburger, tomato sauce and mozarella cheese- I am Italian, so you must have the cheese!

I "invent" almost every time I cook. I often change, modify, or re-arrange recipes depending on what I have available - (waste not want not). Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Well, my 'recipe' is more of a combination of things, but my DH and I find it rather yummy. It's 'name' is called (sorry folks, so not appetizing) "Fartblossoms!" LOL

I make a recipe of Manwich Bold with ground beef. Then I mix it with a couple of cans of pork and beans or baked beans, a little molasses, a little Worcestershire sauce and a little Coleman's dry mustard, some Hormel bacon bits. Cook on the stove or in a crockpot til it is nice and thick. Serve with Frito Scoops.

I originally came up with the recipe when I had leftover Manwich and leftover baked beans and I mixed them together.

This is also my much-requested Baked Bean recipe...when I carry it to potlucks or picnics, I use my antique bean pot as a serving vessel.

Yummy Yummy...It is SO good!
