My cooking style is really simple. Not a lot of ingredients, but all good quality, so you don't have to do that much to them.
Labor Day means grilling outside!
I don't put myself out there - I'm really a homebody.
For my Mai Tai recipe, I juice fresh orange, pineapple, and lime. It's like vacation in a glass!
To me, nothing says summer like enjoying a lobster roll at my favorite spots in the Hamptons.
Portion control is not an option for me. I like mass quantities, so I have to create healthy meals that I love but won't feel guilty about eating.
I've always been a big fan of ribs.
My grandpa and I, whenever we would go to Myrtle Beach, we couldn't wait to get there and have fried seafood.
My secret for feeding a bunch of guests without seeming stingy is pork tenderloin. It's an inexpensive cut that looks impressive and is full of flavor. Plus, guys love it.
I love to have my girlfriends over for a movie night of chick flicks. I usually make some simple snacks, and the favorite is always my Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip.
I'll take any excuse to have a get-together. For me, it's all about the everyday occasions, whether it's popping champagne to toast good weather, inviting the girls for brunch to rehash a night out, or just making snacks and watching a movie.
A lot of people are kind of snobby about garlic powder and onion powder. I happen to love them.
I love spicy food, so I'm not sure why I have this aversion to wasabi, but I really detest it.
My grandmother Dora taught me how to cook. She's from a small town in West Virginia called Milton. I would pull a stool up to her kitchen counter after school. My love of food started there.
For me, the thought of spaghetti and meatballs conjures up the image of that scene where 'Lady and the Tramp' gaze into each other's eyes as they slurp a strand of pasta into a fateful kiss.
One of my favorite salads is spinach with pickled strawberries.
I love a waffle fry.
