Best meal I ever ate:

My first visit to Commander's Palace in the late 80's when Emeril was still there and before he was everywhere. It was my parents' 25th anniversary, and my grandparents' 50th. Everything was perfect. I remember the duck salad, the osso bucco and the souffle like it was yesterday!

My current drink of choice:

Iced coffee with skim milk, stevia and vanilla

I really wish I could:

Eat everything I want to without worrying about my waistline

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Chicken enchiladas

My favorite comfort food:

Grilled cheese & tomato soup or PB&J with chocolate milk

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

My most tattered cookbooks:

Zion Lutheran Church Cookbook, 1970; Joy of Cooking
