My favorite tea is a good quality green tea. From leaves. Not from powder. The tea they serve at tea ceremonies is way too bitter.

Lately, I have actually been using my electric steamer almost every day. It's so easy, and safer than the stove top with two little boys underfoot.

This time of year, I'd actually love to make some gazpacho!

I would include my recipe for Sardines with Roasted Cauliflower and Spaghetti. I love it because it's original and super tasty.

I love this idea. I usually use cake stands and dessert trees because I hate the "drapey" look, so this will give me a little variety - thanks!

I've been thinking a lot about meatballs, lately - so that's what I would make!

Seltzer water cranberry juice = Ahhh!

My favorite spice is oregano, but my husband has been going through red pepper flakes like crazy ever since I stopped adding heat to our meals because our little boys don't like it.

I use my mixer for everything, but probably most often to make cookie dough. Although I have been meaning to start baking bread again...

The dutch oven is exactly what I need to try the no-knead bread I've read all about!

Now that I have kids, I am trying to become more green for them. This would be a nice little help!

I'd love to win this!

A simple corn chowder :D

My favorite is grilled whole roma tomatoes, with some long grain rice, a grilled chicken breast seasoned with lemon, and hummus. Yum!

I love paella, but what I really miss is the traditional tortilla. I haven't been able to recreate it quite like I remember.

Oh wow, this is great!

I would invite my maternal grandfather. He died before I was born and I've always wanted to meet him!

Oh, my baby loves phone!

I could totally use this - I can never fit everything into the bags I have now.

My sons would love this!
