My favorite food that I like eating would probably be pasta with shrimp, it's really easy to make as you just cook that pasta in boiling water and sauté the shrimp with different types of seasoning.  You can use a variety of sauces, I usually use a tomato sauce and add a few of my own ingredients in there to make it taste better.  It's really easy to make and tastes really good.

A food that means the most to me and I really enjoy eating is baklava. During the holidays I always make this pastry for my family, it's a tradition we've always had.  Baklava is made with layers of phyllo dough covered in ground pistachio nuts, topped with a homemade honey-like syrup.  It is a tradition to make this dish for the holidays back in Albania, where I was born.  You can compare it to how pumpkin pie is almost always made during Thanksgiving here.  We make this dish just out of tradition, it's pretty popular dish throughout Mediterranean countries originating in Greece.
