Canadian girl living in exile in sunny Virginia. Married, mom to two, full-time registered nurse. Anything rustic italian, latin, greek. And I love to bake. Cookies especially. According to my son, Jack, my best-ever dish was a strawberry pretzel salad. My husband says his annual birthday cheesecake (New York style) is most memorable. For me, it's a toss up between my first homemade sticky buns that took all day, homemade guacamole - just like Chipotle's version, and my homemade lasagna. It weighs about 10 pounds, and it's amazing. Cheese straws. Hands down.
