I definitely second Victory Bar. It's a buffalo burger, and it's killer.

And there's always Burgerville, if you're into fast food. The Hawthorne location lets you ride your bike through the drive through.

I found a recipe for white bean, sage, and Italian sausage soup (kinda more like a thick stew, actually) a couple of years ago. I make a huge batch of it every fall when the rain starts, freeze most of it, and eat it for months. So rich and comforting.

one square of very dark chocolate (%80-ish percent).
or my mother's coconut macaroons.

@NotAmerican - that sauce sounds yummy. We have some fresh jalapenos in the garden I could use...

@everyone - sounds like Franks + butter is the most popular. Has anyone had any success imitating it with fresh ingredients?

Parpadelle with sweet Italian sausage, roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil

Simple recipes, seasonal vegetables.

I'm only 21, but have been cooking full meals since middle school. My mother used to cook every dinner, but when she took a part-time job, she no longer had the time or energy. So divided up the week and each of us (my parents, brother, sister, and I) each took two days a week to make dinner. My sister was only about 8 at the time, but she still learned how to make food other than Mac and Cheese and we're all, I think, great cooks now.
