I am a new grandma! One born 12/11, the other on it's way in May. I have a husband and two grown kids. Cooking for two is hard (variety and healthy trips me up), but I love to create things for parties and have a few "specialties" that people seem to request a lot. Party stuff. I hate cooking for two, but love cooking for a crowd Polish food at Christmas. We lost my mom this past Christmas. Her and I would always get together and make cabbage rolls and pierogies, pickled eggs and beets. Not sure if I will continue the tradition without er - might move it to Easter. Too sad New York Style Cheesecake. Made a ton of them and sold while I was in college - paid for books! Also could never make gravy the way Mom did. Then I discovered the RUE! I can make awesome gravy now. Veal parmesan....made it over 25 years ago and it flopped...haven't tried it since.
