A few of my favorite foods..

As I am looking back at my stay here in NY, I think of my favorite foods that I am going to miss. Yes these foods aren't good for you so I am glad to say that it is better that I leave. These are some of my favorite foods that as a child I rarely ever got. Maybe thats I love them so much because they were special "treats". These special treats I ALWAYS get whenever I come home as an adult, well if they fit in to my time constraints.


NY PIZZA
If I fly home around dinner time my family always seems to have ordered pizza and there always seems to be a slice for me. I love NY style pizza, my favorite little place around here is a local favorite called Picnic Pizza




NY Italian Sausage
Mmm.. Italian sausage smothered with green peppers and onions in a hoagie roll is another one of my favorite treats while I am home. Its just weird how those yummy NY foods are no where as good as they are in NY, and most of the time you cant even find them anywhere but NY.

Chips and Dip The best french onion dip EVER so yummy with chips, veggies and more ooo so yummy. It really is Heluva Good.

Spiedie Marinades The best ever marinades for chicken, and made better when grilled. I brought a ton of these marinades back to Idaho one year with me and enjoyed them a lot longer than a visit home. This time its gonna be hard to bring them since I will be flying :(

And the best for Last HALF MOON COOKIES.. Now these are not black and white cookies they are called half moons. You can only find them on the east. I love these. I am pretty sure I have not had enough of these while I have been home but that my not be such a bad thing. It a chocolate cake like cookie with yummy white frosting on one side and then chocolate frosting on the other. The recipe for these are almost impossible to find. But lucky enough my Culinary Arts teacher in NY had it and I got a copy. Hopefully I can still find it. These cookies will be coming to Vegas with me. My students will be bringing a lil bit of NY to Las Vegas. O I am excited!

Okay well there it is ladies and gents. Melissa's favorite NY goodies. I know you are probably drooling right now. And too bad most of you cant even enjoy any of these delicious NY goodies. Haha I can't believe I just posted about my favorite foods.. Well I am a foods teacher so that should make it ok!
