Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
One of my favorite things about fall is the food! Fall is comfort food season. As the temperature drops, it's natural for the body to crave warmth and comfort. For me, there is no greater comfort or better way to warm the body (and soul) than with a nice big bowl of hot soup.

Love is the Best Spice
I remember being four years old and preparing for Thanksgiving dinner at my great grandmother’s house. I called her Mowie. No one was ever able to tell me why I settled on that to call her, but that’s a different story altogether. My job was helping Mowie prepare the green bean casserole. I took great pride in helping with that dish because my role in it had begun long before that Wednesday, November 23, 1988. Several months earlier, Mowie and I planted the green beans in her garden. Every weekend when I came to her house, I watched the seedlings grow. Sometimes, I would take the little tendrils and wind them around the strings of the lattice because Mowie told me the plants would need the support. Eventually, I helped Mowie harvest those green beans...and I confess that I ate as many straight off the vine as I put into the harvesting basket.

On Strike for...Never!
This recipe is one that I began baking about nine years ago. I was going into my first holiday season as a married woman and wanted to find some kind of treat that I could make that would become a new tradition for me. My husband and I watched a holiday movie on Lifetime called “On Strike for Christmas”, and the uncredited star of that film were the cookies that the leading lady baked. From then on, I was hooked. I adapted a recipe for them the very next day and have been making them multiple times for every holiday season since then.

I Can't Always Change People's Political Opinions, But I Can Change Their Opinions On Popcorn
Ever had a bad batch of popcorn ruin a movie night? Even the best movies can get overshadowed by a batch of popcorn with no flavor. Maybe someone put too little salt. Or they could've used sugar instead of salt.

ASIAN COOKING - Tips, tricks and ideas
Hello everyone. Here is a little back story about me. As a Wasian (half French, half Pinay), I love Asian food. It is the type of food that makes me feel the most at home. My mom is Filipino, she is the one who raised my sister and me, so we grew up with Asian food. And my dad, although French, lives in China and so whenever I go to China and see him, I have the opportunity to try delicious dishes there too.

My Love for Sushi and Chirashi Don
I love sushi. I’m a sushi addict, and often eat it at least twice a week. I love it for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons however is because of the variety. In a single meal you can have a half a dozen different types of fish or other ingredients, all served with (hopefully) high quality rice. I love sushi for its simplicity and respect for individual ingredients.

Meat Sweats?
As a child I grew up in the Northwest and the term Barbeque was a verb. You barbequed a meat it was an action word, not a noun. When I advanced to Junior High (7th grade), our family moved to Tennessee. There was a drastic culture shock in many ways, but one incident involved a food called barbeque. In Tennessee, at that time in 1977, barbeque was a noun.
