1. Our quick dinners are usually stir fries or other “one pot” meals like chickpea curry, sausage and cabbage, and so on. Spaghetti happens a lot too.

2. For parties, I bring bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, or this amazing shrimp dip recipe I found 24 years ago when we were first married. It’s shrimp, tomatoes, seafood sauce, onion, cream cheese and gelatin—I’d even found a silly shrimp mold to put it in. 😂 I thought I was Martha Stewart scoring that stupid mold.

3. For family gatherings, just before my mom passed away, she handed down a number of her recipes to me and my siblings. So for this Christmas, I’m making her cabbage rolls, bean casserole, and candied cranberries. My one sister is doing mom’s turkey (covered in bacon), my other sister is on meatball and turnip duty, and my brother is doing mom’s plum pudding with rum sauce.
