  • What's the best recipe you've made in the past two weeks?
    This tequila lime salmon was pretty good: http://cookingwithcrouton.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/tequila-lime-salmon/

    What food are you most looking forward to munching on during the Super Bowl? 
    I'm making pressed sandwiches, which I love and haven't had in foreverrrrr!

    What restaurant can you visit over and over again without getting sick of?
    Anything that serves pho. My favorite is Viet Thai Paradise on Riva Road in Annapolis. 

    What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food?
    Kraft macaroni and cheese. Yup. Can't lie.

    What do you eat when your DH is out of town/away for the night?
    Either spaghetti or I go out and get pho. YUM

    What kitchen gadget or appliance do you use most?
    I have way too many gadgets, but I definitely use my slow-cooker the most.

    If you could upgrade *one* thing in your kitchen, what would it be?
    We're in the process of upgrading the kitchen, so this is a tough call because a lot of stuff needs it. I'm drooling over double ovens with the small oven on the top and bigger oven on the bottom, and I think we're actually going to buy one soon. However, we also need new floors, counters, and a fridge...
  • Yum I can't wait to read people's responses!

    What's the best recipe you've made in the past two weeks? caramelized onion mashed potatoes

    What food are you most looking forward to munching on during the Super Bowl? I don't know what I'm going to make, I'll have to keep looking here for ideas!

    What restaurant can you visit over and over again without getting sick of? Cracker Barrell because I love their breakfast and their lunch/dinner

    What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food? brownies, fresh bread

  • What's the best recipe you've made in the past two weeks? Erm...I have been slacking on cooking lately. I guess baked ziti, which is good, but nothing special.

    What food are you most looking forward to munching on during the Super Bowl? We'll watch the Super Bowl, but we aren't having a party or anything so no special food.

    What restaurant can you visit over and over again without getting sick of? Subway, but that doesn't really count as a restaurant. Used to be Silver Diner. I went there daily (no joke) in college. I can't think of another restaurant that we go to often.

    What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food? Macaroni & cheese

    What do you eat when your DH is out of town/away for the night? See above. Macaroni & cheese or Subway.

    What kitchen gadget or appliance do you use most? I guess my KA mixer. But I don't use many gadgets or appliances.

    If you could upgrade *one* thing in your kitchen, what would it be? If I can only pick 1, the floors. They were DH's first tile project and looked great at first. But you can't lay tile on uneven subfloor or you'll need to redo the floors in a couple years (which is where we are now).

    What kitchen gadget or appliance do you use most? I  have this thing Pampered Chef sells called a "Scoop and Drain" that looks like it would be for scooping the cat poop out of a litter box.  I use it all the time to take veggies out of the pot, pasta, french fries out of hot oil, meatballs out of the pan if I fry them and so many other things.  I even will open a can of beans pour them in the cradle, and drain them over the sink.  Or rinse veggies in it.  It's great!

    If you could upgrade *one* thing in your kitchen, what would it be?  Does space count?!  No, ok.  Probably the fridge/freezer.  I hate the one we have but since we're renters, we can't change it.  I just wish it was that much bigger...

    Do you put the MnC on the hot dog or the other way around?  I have to say, this is an intersting/odd combination.  I like to put all sorts of concoctions on my hot dog.  I'm a fan of the Chicago style...coleslaw and a pickle right in the bun with it.  Yum!

    The Super Bowl party we're going to has a "Mexican Theme" this year, but I'm hoping to still hold on to my chicken wing title from last year.  Granted, I was the only one who made wings, but it was still a competition!
