Several years ago, I had this great idea to have a Fiesta, and make authentic Mexican food for Cinco De Mayo. My failed attempted at making Chicken Tamales, without corn husk, has not been spoken of since. That's a story for another day.

I've always made the classic grilled cheese for my family. Honestly, I had no clue there was more to grilled cheese. Was I ever wrong! Not only are there endless creative variations, but there are festivals for grilled cheese.

When taco's are what's-for-dinner at my house, I'm the wo-man. It's safe to say my family enjoys taco night.

No matter what soup recipe I try my favorite is still chicken noodle soup. There is something oh-so-comforting about a hearty bowl of chicken, noodles and vegetables. I don't know if it has any magical powers, but this recipe does the trick for me.

One of my favorite summer drinks is iced tea. My grandmother made it just right, real sweet. My favorite summer flavors are peach, mango, blackberry and cranberry.
