What’s not to love about pizza? Oven-baked bread covered with creamy tomato sauce and topped with fresh mozzarella cheese. Just thinking about it, makes my stomach grumble. This food is a hit with most Americans, and rightly so. You can pretty much put anything you want on a pizza and eat it however you choose. Meat, vegetables, seafood; it all belongs on a pizza. In America, there are many regional forms of pizza, and I’ll eat them all.

Every Tuesday morning, I’m stuck driving into downtown Chicago, attending three back-to-back classes at Loyola University Chicago, hanging around and doing homework for about an hour and then going to a meeting. It’s a long day, to the say the least. Although I usually pack a light lunch to get me through that second class, during my break between classes and my meeting, I always make sure to head down the block to the wonderful little restaurant, the Soupbox.

For Lent this year, I’ll be giving up meat. It’s day three and I already feel like I’m being majorly challenged.

Now that the Super Bowl is over, crunchy and salty are out for me. This Valentine’s Day, I’m craving something really sweet. I want creamy and crumbly and sugary!

Nutella has spread (pun intended) all over the world, and has become so popular that there is actually a day devoted to it. In 2007, two American food bloggers in Italy created World Nutella Day. This year the holiday lands on Feb. 5. So here we are, three years later, continuing to celebrate the worldwide domination of Nutella. And why shouldn’t we? It’s creamy, chocolate-y and completely addictive.

Hummus, the chickpea spread that many of us know and love, is now at the center of the latest Middle Eastern conflict. Forget land settlements and religious wars. Let’s focus on something a little more important like say, who can make the largest serving of hummus? After some back and forth controversy, Israel now has the lead with a world record of more than four metric tons of hummus. The prior record had just been set in October by Lebanese hummus makers. But regardless of who is leading this war on hummus, we’re really just craving some hummus!
Bring on the hummus recipes! (Find them after the jump.)
