Soups, Bread, salads, . . . continually learning new techniques and find new favorites. My Grandma was such a fantastic cook that I just loved all the traditional favorites that she made. Her style is what I love, very simple cooking with lots of love. A Christmas Dinner for friends / family and an additional to-go Christmas Dinner for a needy family. It was lots of cooking, but felt so good to be able to share our Christmas with others. A few experiences of working around the house and not hearing the buzzer to check on something and alas dinner was charbroiled to a crisp, so an alternate dinner would need to be prepared.
