Real Name:

kelly thompson

Best meal I ever ate:

Homemade spinach and 3 cheese ravioli that my husband made at home. He worked and worked to research the dough, filling, sauce, etc. Then spent all day shopping and cooking. It was a delicious event!

My current drink of choice:

I'm a hard-core margarita on the rocks gal. Always my fall-back.

I really wish I could:

have unlimited time and funds so that I could do a food tour of every city large and small and soak up the local flavors and favorites. I just plain love food, eating it...cooking it, talking about it and making it!

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Marinated pork tenderloin with caramelized peppers

My favorite comfort food:

It's a toss up...mac and cheese or killer pizza

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

I tend to like local...so, little joints in my home town and surround are my favorites. I like places that are "great" at only a few things and that's what I go there for.

My most tattered cookbooks:

Crazy but true...my Grandma's copy of Betty Crocker's Cookbook. I inherited it from her and still love to page through it for her notes and scribblings. And...frankly, when I want a great basic recipe...it's my go to place. Mary Emmerling's American country Cooking...great regional recipes. Must try that Cinnamon Crumb Topped Apple pie. YUM!
