I am an empty nester, with a trucker husband, so my nest is REALLY empty. I've had to adjust to cooking for me alone, most of the time. I'm getting better at it, but always looking for something new. Now days, I don't want to spend long in the kitchen and really like dishes that are all in one and can be put in the oven or slow cooker and left. I have Fibromyalgia, and standing to cook is difficult for me. I come from a big family and we all like to eat. We gather for most holidays or any other excuse and we always do it with a pot luck. AND, we always have lots of good food!
