I have been married for 19 years and even though I have one child, I really only cook for 2 because he is a very picky eater and limits himself to certain foods. I work part time and love to read/buy cookbooks. I prefer one-dish meals with maybe one or two sides. (Thanksgiving dinner would throw me!) Lasagna, Pastichio, soups, stews, etc. Casseroles are my favorites. Every meal I put on the table is a personal triumph because I'm always amazed how good it came out! Once when roasting a stuffed chicken for my entire family, I cooked the neck and forgot to remove it from the rest of the gizzards before chopping it all up and added it to the stuffing. My sister wondered what was in the stuffing that was so crunchy and I went white with fear because I just remembered what I did! We've all had a lot of fun with that over the years.
