My Favorite Food
By Zaven Stoltz

Do you know what my favorite food is? My favorite food is pasta with chicken. I lo-o-ove it. Every day when I come home from school I ask my mom to make it. She makes the best pasta and when she does I give my mom a big hug. It smells like a juicy steak. Do you think you would like it?

Pizza is the Best
BY Joshua Perrin

Do you like pizza? I think pizza is the best. I wish all the pizza in the world was mine. You need to eat it. My mom always says eat your veggies, but I always eat my pizza first! It always smells cheesy and it is very soft. That’s why I think it’s the best.
