Gourmet Live Blog

Location: Colorado, CO

If you had to blog about one ingredient every day for a year, what food it be?
Zucchini. That’s my answer right now, as I look out my window and see the squash just exploding in the garden, which is such a good situation to have.

What’s your go-to quick and easy dinner?
One-skillet dinners—the kind where you throw vegetables, chicken, and whatever else you want into a pan and be done with it.

I will never eat:
Head cheese. What is that stuff?! I see it at the grocery store and I just shudder.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you order there?
Root Down Restaurant in Denver, Colorado. The menu changes seasonally, but the last thing I enjoyed there was some fantastic butternut squash gnocchi.

Who would you love to have over for dinner?
Bobby Flay. I have a major crush.
