Have you been to a great little place that made the best "___" that you have ever had? Post about it.

Have you developed a taste for something new and delicious? Tell us about it.

Would you like to share tips or techniques for making something really good? Go for it.

Do you have a favorite childhood or family food memory to share?

Places to have general food discussion can be hard to find, so lets see what we can create here and have some fun while doing it.

Thank you, and Welcome!

Yes, I am enjoying the weather so much. I was over in Phoenix on Sunday for COOK Phoenix, the new HRC event. What a beautiful day! Great food and the guests voted for Barrio Cafe' as the favorite restaurant. Have you been there?

what a great thread.....

As a born Midwesterner i grew up with my mother frying everything my favorite Fried Chicken and I perfected it seriously you cant go wrong with Fried Chicken, mashed taters (real potatoes not the flakes that come in a box) , corn and fresh bread on the table right???

wrong....as much as i love it I make this maybe once a year, so far not at all this year as tastey as fried food is it is equally as unhealthy.

I switched to baking a little over ten years ago because it is healthier for me and my body type.

My favorite childhood meal, Thanksgiving Dinner it is still my favorite meal of the year.

My go to comfort food when i am not feeling well is Pasta has been since i was a little girl if i catch a cold or something i literally crave a Rigatoni with red sauce, my mom would make this for me as an adult i would occasionally call her when i had a cold and ask her to make it for me and she would, Im going to miss that.

Welcome to the thread Gaea!

Fried Chicken? Oh wow that is one of my favorite things (lets see how many times I can say that a certain food is one of my favorite things in this thread) and I have not perfected it.

Lets make a deal, when I get back to CA, you bring the fried chicken and I will make you Rigatoni. Hows that? I cant promise you that it will be as good as your Moms but I sure can try to make something good.

Seems like many of us are avoiding fried food and I always suggest having what you want once in a while. It is really important that we don't feel deprived while trying to eat healthy. Nothing healthy about wanting something and never getting it. lol.

So glad that you joined us!
