The photo is one I’ve been saving since last spring so I could wish all you Northerners who are stealing our summer a happy springtime! I love tulips and would have some in the house all the time. I should grow them in pots so I could do that but I’m always busy cooking in my spare time.
Someone asked me that question yesterday when they found out that I have a food blog. They assumed that since I love to cook more than just about anything that I would have a hierarchy of recipes from favorite to crap.
I smiled just a little bit and said, “That’s like asking me which of my children I like best.” Most of my recipes are my favorites until I come up with one I like better.
One day I’ll love an ice cream recipe and the next day it’s a slow roasted fillet of beef, dark pink from edge to edge, and the next day it will be the delicious lamb chops fresh off the bbq or the curried quinoa salad that’s my vegetarian crack. See what I mean?
I could point to a current recipe as my favorite but then I have a huge list of recipes from your blogs that I looked at and would swear that each would be a best recipe for me. For instance, these are a few on my recipe bucket list:
Calzone ai Funghi {Mushroom Calzones}
from www.bellalimento.com
World’s Best Baked Onions – and I’ve never met an onion I didn’t like.

Maple-Bourbon Ice cream

Brownies with Hazelnut Butter and Chocolate Lace

So, dear friends, I’ve got a long way to go before deciding on my best recipe ever. If I’d been asked what my signature recipe was or what recipe I’m asked to make more often than any other, that would have been pretty easy.
What’s your signature recipe that everyone knows you make better than anyone else?
