I am a mother of 8 and have been married 24 years.My husband and I both come from large families so cooking for a crowd is a habit. Anything Pennsylvania Dutch(its part of my heritage)some southern dishes,slow cooker recipes, and any type of main dish casserole or bake that can be cooked in the oven since it doesn't pay for me to use a pan smaller than a 9x13 pan or casserole dish. Pennsylvania Dutch,southern,(my husband is from W.V.A and Italian.(my mother said you make a big pot of sauce and you are set for the week.) Learning to cook with venison after I was first married.And finally learning how to season up ground turkey since it tends to be a bland substitute for ground beef.but it is cheaper here. I could never get the hang of making cut out sugar cookies without making them taste like dog biscuits.Until a friend gave me her grandmothers recipe. Don't know why but these worked for me.
