I think I would try homemade cola - I saw it on the Food Network!

Spicy Molasses cookies with rum glaze (cook's illustrated). This would help!

Key lime pie! A refreshing escape from winter in Wisconsin.

Roasted sweet potato and a frozen salmon fillet on the George Foreman. I need help!

Dark - 70%

The grill pan, for grilling indoors this winter!

~Stiletto cake~

Green Chile Posole.

I would keep some, and give some away!

Grilled steak - indoor or outside. As long as its not overcooked!

Paella - because its delicious AND because its the only Spanish dish that I know how to cook. Maybe this cookbook will inspire me.....

Carne adovada, a classic New Mexican dish made with loads of red chile powder.

Cinnamon. I know this is not original, but this flavors always remind me of my grandmother's spiced cookies. Each one had a single cinnamon red hot on top.

I would first make a batch of margaritas to "christen" the blender. Then, I would make a really smooth tomato sauce. I normally like them chunky, but a velvety smooth sauce would be a nice treat.

I would make spicy molasses cookies, and glaze them with a dark rum/powdered sugar mixture. I got this recipe from Cook's Illustrated and its fantastic!

Beautiful! Can't beat a classic.

I am a poor graduate student. A Le Crueset pannini press would add a touch of class to my standard grilled cheese dinner.... Plus, green is such a festive color for the winter.
