Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Carmel, California to attend the Dole Taste of Spain Salad Summit with a group of fellow food bloggers. Anyone who knows me well knows that the farmer's market is my "happy place" so you can bet I was thrilled to visit America's farm stand: the lettuce fields of Dole.
I can remember having vegemite* sandwiches on brown bread in a brown paper bag for my school lunches. And when I had chickenpox as a child I had them really bad. Down my throat and terribly painful. I can remember my vegemite sandwiches had the crusts cut off to relieve the possibility of a painful swallow! My memories of …

This is my all-time favorite fall salad. My mom received the recipe from a friend years ago and we’ve been making it ever since. It’s a stand-in-the-kitchen-eat-the-entire-bowl-over-the-counter kinda salad. So scrumptious. The dressing is simple – just oil and vinegar – so not to distract from all the goodness going on. Buttery pine nuts and tart pomegranate seeds add amazing flavor and are so dang gorgeous in this festive holiday side dish.
Store your bread in a plastic bag at room temperature. No refrigerating! It doesn't seem to matter if you fold the bag over or make it airtight. Just make sure it is closed.

Advocaat is a dessert for adults, since it is riddled with alcohol. A Dutch egg liqueur, concocted by Dutch seamen who wanted to reprodruce the avocado liqueur of the Antillen. Since the Netherlands lacked avocado’s, they replaced them by eggs. For sale at supermarket and liquor stores. Should be topped of with whipped cream.

New York has more than its fair share of fine dining establishments, and many delis to be sure, but sometimes nothing heals the soul better than the cheap sandwiches, fries, omelets and around-the-clock banana pancakes served up at a classic NYC greasy spoon. Of course, diners are more than just 24-hour griddle factories; the best ones double as a fading oasis of simple 1950s ambiance — one that's being drowned out by chain sub shops and vegan burger bistros. After spending $40.00 on burgers and fries on our first trip to New York City, 21 years ago, Mr. P and I decided to seek out and find a few homey diners. Places we felt at ease, comfortable in our jeans and to enjoy good food without breaking the bank. Luckily, New York City has got many classic diners to choose from — here are ten of the city's best.
