I like his emphasis on fresh produce because I'm always looking for fast, tasty recipes using produce that are also healthy and not loaded with fat.

When I was a freshman at a college in Kentucky, I had a sausage biscuit, my first. OMG, it was heaven! Hog heaven :-)! I had never eaten such delicious food!

Back in the early 1990s, I threw a party in my tiny one BR and invited a wide mix of people, including artists, musicians, business types, etc. It was BYOB but I provided a keg of beer, Jello shooters and food. It was a blast, and people still talk about what a great party that was! Those were the days!

Filet. Tender, juicy and flavorful.

Soup and a grilled cheese sandwich in the winter. A salad with salmon or chicken, nuts, dried fruit and cheese in the summer. Yum!

Homemade macaroni and cheese. Talk about comfort food!

Pumpkin. I use it in a pecan pumpkin butter recipe that's modified after the one sold by Williams Sonoma but uses less sugar.
