1. What condiments are always, always in your fridge?
Mostly the standards… ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, mayo. My hubby does the grocery shopping so we’re always fully stocked.
2. How do you like your steak cooked? Your burgers?
Medium rare.
3. What’s your favorite use for fresh tomatoes?
I love, love, love Caprese salad. I love anything with tomatoes. Kev grows tomatoes and we have several local farmers that grow amazing tomatoes so I already can’t wait for tomato season. We’ll slice them up, sprinkle on some salt and a drizzle of olive oil and have them as a snack.
4. What’s your go-to dinner when you haven’t planned anything in advance and you don’t feel like going out?
Boboli pizza… the make-your-own pizza.
5. What’s your favorite snack food lately?
I’m a huge Cheeto addict. Though I’m trying not to snack much recently. But I just love Cheetos.
6. What’s your favorite weekend breakfast to make at home?
Pancakes!
7. What’s your favorite thing to grill? How do you do it?
Steak. Super easy. Kev grills up asparagus sometimes too, which I love but prefer it in the oven with some olive oil and sea salt.
8. What’s your favorite wine for under $10? If you’re not a wine person, what brand of beer is your favorite?
I don’t really have a favorite, I like to try different wines each time. I’m the type of person that often chooses wine based on the label. Yes, a pretty or fun label hooks me every time. My current favorite type of red wine is Malbec, and white wine is Riesling. And my favorite beer is Hoegaarden.
