3. Topping of choice for popcorn? I don't like poppincorn!

4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure? Hmmmm....the only one I can think of is when Adree was making homemade olive oil butter, and it called for 1/4 c. olive and oil and 1/4 tsp. salt, we both read it as 1/4 cup of each, so it was terribly salty and hilarious.

5. Favorite pickled item? Pickled banana peppers! I use to make the boys at Subway put handfuls on my veggie sub.

6. How do you organize your recipes? I took apart my 3" english binder and morphed it into a giant recipe book. I write my recipes on magazine pages and then slip them in little page protectors in my binder! very homemade and pretty.

7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal? I like compost but we don't have one. That is an odd little question.

8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods…what would they be (don’t worry about how you’ll cook them)? Kroger crunchy natural peanut butter, rudi's colorado cracked wheat bread, and organic bananas...(i guess i would be having pbb's!)

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood? I used to eat chili with my Mamaw, and she would slice raw onions and eat them with her chili. And her blackberry cobbler was divine, and her pumpkin pie.
