There are a lot of reasons why Johnny Cash's music resonates with me. His sound is so soulful and singable and really just strikes a chord within me. I love the lyrics, the subjects and especially the duets with June Carter. What more is there to like?

Who doesn't?! They are buttery and crispy and easy to make. What more can someone ask from a frozen breakfast item? I think they are the most perfect things in the breakfast world and am delighted whenever I get the chance to have them. My mom thought the Nutri-grain ones would be better for us but we never ate them and so we were deprived the glory of a fresh, hot, buttery, syrupy Eggo until we went over to a friend's house or, of course, until we could buy them ourselves. So now I treasure my Eggo moments and look forward to the next time I get to have them for breakfast!

Recipes make my life so much easier. I'm the kind of girl who likes instructions to follow, especially when doing a process she's never done before. So you can imagine how recipes make me feel better about cooking and baking. I feel much more confident and assured about cooking and baking when I have someone who has tested the process and the final product for me.

When I graduated from college, my Mom, my aunts and my grandmother (and, eventually my step-mother will as well) all contributed to a recipe book for me and I can't tell you how much it means to me. Though I still don't really enjoy cooking, I hope to be more excited about doing it now that I'm equipped with very good suggestions about what to do. Or maybe I'll marry a boy who likes to cook (score!) and then I'll give him the recipe book to use. Who knows! The possibilities are endless.
