Roasted red pepper dip. It's cheese, mayo, more cheese, roasted red peppers, minced garlic, dash of mustard, baked, and served with tortilla chips or crackers.

Garlic-for everything! (Well, except baking, in which case I would say butter!) but as far as spoiling, potatoes. I never manage to use the whole bag before they sprout eyes.

anybody have a hot cocoa mix recipe?

I put a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a little more than a table spoon of sugar and a dash of salt in a mug. Then I add a couple of ounces of warm milk and a splash of vanilla, stir til all the lumps are gone, then I add the rest of the milk and marshmallows or whipped cream. (I probably use a total of 8 ounces)

I love roasted red pepper dip. Cheesy and delicious.

Cook the Book: 'Fat'

Pound cake. Many sticks of butter, but so delicious. (However, now that I think about it, other than angel food cake, what dish isn't better with fat?)

Yes, I've cooked chicken breasts with a mixture of garlic, oregano, olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. Add spinach to the pan to wilt, then serve with feta cheese and diced tomato in a toasted pita. Mmmmm

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

Baking disaster? chocolate meringues that flattened and baked to my sheet. I think I ended up throwing that cookie sheet away!
Success? Finally mimicing my mother-in-law's chocolate chip cake with some success!

definitely soup. But in a pinch fries will work too!

Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Epiphany'

Hmm.. last chocolate EVER? Well, it would have to be dark, maybe a dark chocolate mousse, with a chocolate wafer cookie?

Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'

Cherry pie made at a nearby apple orchard.. (hmm.. that sounds odd, doesn't it, like it should have been an apple pie!) but it was good. The crust was flaky and delicious (and I'm not a crust person) and the filling was perfectly sweetened.

Okay, this is so not original but my mother. We live in the midwest, home to lots of farms, but not-so-adventuresome eating, and she is always willing to try something new.

I'm unoriginal, but I really enjoy some combo of the traditional cheese and crackers with some fruit (apple slices or strawberries).

I would make homemade butternut squash ravioli with a sage butter sauce... homemade garlic bread (lotsa garlic). For dessert, maybe a lemon mousse with rasberry coulis
