Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
There are so many but what is calling me now is mom's pot roast, mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese sauce. I am lucky to have had a mom who cooked so many wonderful, thoughtful meals growing up. YUM! I would love to win this so I can begin to start cooking some of my own.

What's So Weird About That?
I thought cream cheese and jam was normal? I can't have a bagel with cream cheese WITHOUT jam. My healthier version is whole wheat toast with jam and cottage cheese on top for breakfast a few days a week. I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life. Am I alone here?

My family would be happy if I'd make them chicken and dumplings at least once a week. (And it's so easy!)

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?

It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.
