Sometimes when you don't have so much time on your hands but you still want to put together a tasty hardy dish, all-in-one dishes are the quickest. The secret is in balancing all the flavors so they complement each other. It sounds so complicated but it is really easy if you just follow your taste buds.
When I cook I usually don't measure. So now that my babies are all grown up, I started to cook all their favorite foods with measuring cups, spoons, pencil, and a notebook by my side, recording every step for future references. Dinner table is that special place where all the family gathers to exchange events of the day, to share special moments, and to make important announcement. And if good home cooked food is served on that table, these gatherings become even more precious and memorable.
