What is your favorite recipe on Allrecipes.com? Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins!

What's your go-to dish to bring to a potluck? You can't go wrong with a great salad at a potluck, so I usually bring quinoa salad with black beans, mango, lots of fresh herbs, and a zingy lime-jalapeño dressing. It never fails to please.

What's the best meal you've ever eaten? Best meal is whatever homemade dinner I make for myself when I get back after a trip. It feels so good to cook for myself after weeks of eating out.

What's the one kitchen tool you can't live without? I love my cast iron pot from Le Creuset. I've had it for 14 years and I use it for everything, every single day.
