Washington, DC

Washington D.C.’s status as the nation’s capital is largely due to a dinner hosted at the home of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson met with James Madison and Alexander Hamilton to negotiate the relocation of the Capitol from New York City. Originally chosen by George Washington for both its natural beauty and the navigability of the Potomac River, the District is bordered by Maryland and Virginia. The influence held in the District of Columbia over the nation’s eating and drinking habits is literally immeasurable. The Food and Drug Administration regulates food products across the United States, assuring food safety through the enforcement of guidelines. Due to its cosmopolitan nature and being host to a number of foreign embassies, Washington D.C. is awash in restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world.

About me:
 I'm a freelance graphic and Web designer and I'm able to work when I want. One of my biggest goals is to make more time for cooking and eating at home, as I enjoy cooking. In fact, my husband and I prefer to stay at home and eat, as opposed to dining out, even if it's no more than grilled cheese sandwiches and soup.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2008 by lwebbfranco
After looking for my sifter for 30 minutes and coming up unsuccessful, I decided to give this recipe a try without my sifter. This recipe was ubber fluffy even without sifting. I followed the directions to a tee, and my 4 year old pancake monster said these pancakes were the best. Next time, I will add 1 tsp to 1 tbsp vanilla and see how that works. Thanks for the wonderful pancake recipe.

B and L's Strawberry Smoothie

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2008 by lwebbfranco
I have been making this smoothie for the past 6 years, and it is always my go to strawberry smoothie recipe. I cut the sugar to 1 tbsp, and vanilla to 1 tsp. Sometimes I use frozen strawberries (that I freeze after cutting during the summer reasons) and sit them in hot water for a few minutes. If the mix is too think with the frozen strawberries (I don't use the ice when I use the strawberries frozen) I simply add a little water at a time until the consistency that I desire. Delicious recipe.

Blondie Brownies

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2008 by windband
Great recipe! I followed another reviewer's suggestion, using only 1/3 cup of butter and 2/3 cup of brown sugar. Also, I added another 2 tablespoons of milk, which made it moist enough. Tasty!! I almost ate the whole batch myself. I will try to add chocolate chips or cranberries next time. Thanks for the recipe!
