The first baked treat I endeavored to make from scratch was an apple pie. Best to start with something simple, right?

grill power! #whatagrillwants
YumI'm so glad that times have changed and many ladies find themselves (wo)manning the grill. Why shouldn't we?

comfort food?
YumI might be wrong, but I suspect that a lot of Americans (and perhaps Italians) consider spaghetti and meatballs to be one of the ultimate comfort foods. It was never on my list, though, and I can only assume that's because we didn't eat it when I was growing up.

a true teacher
YumI think (and hope) we all have teachers from elementary or high school or college who really left an impression on our lives. I consider myself very fortunate and am grateful that there were so many men and women in my life who taught me much more than the things applying to the subject at hand.

get country.
YumAs a kid in my small southwestern VA hometown, you couldn't avoid country music. I went through a spell where I loved the sound of it and many of its artists--Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Big and Rich, Toby Keith, and yes, even Kenny Chesney. (Am I dating myself?)
