Potato pancakes. Grilled Cheese & Tomato soup. Alphabet Soup. (Not really meals:) Spaghettios. Marshmallow Creme/Cream Cheese Fruit dip. Velveeta anything. Spam. !?
WHAT'S THE ONE THING YOU MAKE THAT PEOPLE CONTINUALLY COMPLIMENT YOU ON? Hotdish. It's an art, baby. And....I'm working on the foodie version(s)!

IF YOU WERE AN HERB OR A SPICE, WHAT KIND WOULD YOU BE? Ah! That's hard! Okay, well I'm in love with rosemary. Especially because I've used it for my babies when they've had coughs and congestion. But also I love the scent so much and it reminds me of my Grandmas. And fresh basil. So green. So fragrant. So delicious.
WHAT IS THE MOST FAVORITE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR PARTNER? He keeps it real. I also hate this at times. But in the end, it's just what I need, being a dreamyMcdreamypants and all...he grounds me. And, ironically, he keeps me from getting too serious!!! Nutball. I'm one lucky kid.
ANYTHING ELSE? I am one crazy-arse mushball. And I believe that magic happens in the kitchen. I feel a palatable connection to my beloveds when I replicate their recipes and any time I share the kitchen and the kitchen with other women, I feel that we form an indescribable bond. It fills my soul in a way nothing else can.
