Favorite Vegetables

Squash, okra, and sweet potatoes are my favorites. My new love is roasted brussel sprouts.

I love vegetable, especially oven roasted with a sprinkle of olive oil.

Your Bottom Five Vegetables

1. Eggplant
2. Green Bell Pepper (It adds a good flavor to gravies and soups).

I love everything else.

In defense of Cracker Barrel

Don't waste time with Luby's in while you are in Houston. Luby's is good, but Cleburne's on Bissonnet is so much better. Its in the area south of Lakewood Church, west of Kirby Drive.

Whole Foods came to my town, what is worth the $$$

Its there. Select sales flyer, then wait for the page loads. Once the page has finished loading, select download featured sales items. This note should be on the right hand side of the page highlighted in orange-red with white writing.

No matter what time of day I go into the store, people are at the bar drinking. At my store, there are people pushing a shopping cart with one hand while holding a glass of wine in the other. I am totally amazed at the sight.

Whole Foods came to my town, what is worth the $$$

I shop sales for the most part. If I indulge, I buy prepared foods. Their Butternut Squash, Spinach, and Cranberry salad is one of my favorites along with Cracklin Cauliflower.

They added a cookie mini cookie bar to my store and I love the idea of choosing my snack from a large assortment of various cookies. Today I chose a Pumpkin shortbread cookie and a Lavender shortbread cookie. Yes, it would be cheaper to buy a box of cookies, but I really cannot be trusted with a whole bag/box of cookies:-). I also love their Allegro coffee.

As others have said, I find their 365 products comparable to Kroger and HEB. I also find their produce comparable as well.

Any memories of "poor people food" from your childhood that you still crave?

This is one of my favorite meals from my childhood. I am fortunate that my mother still makes it from time to time.
