Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved chicken fingers. I used to go to fast food restaurants, like McDonald's and Burger King, to get my chicken finger fix..and to me that was a major treat! In the past several years, my tastes have developed and now I prefer more "gourmet" forms of chicken fingers as opposed to the fast food variety, but I still  enjoy chicken McNuggets every now and then!

I am fairly certain that my love of chocolate chip cookies began in the womb. Maybe my mother ate lots while she was pregnant with me? Who knows. The point is, ever since I could chew, chocolate chip cookies have been the one thing that I have NEVER been able to turn down. They're a great dessert, snack, and comfort food! 

My taste for mashed potatoes developed in early childhood...It all began when i saw my mother making them as part of my dinner. I distinctly remember thinking that they looked fun to make so I took over, tried a bite, and the rest is history!
