Real recipes from a kitchen that got a little quieter

I'm Linda. When the last of our three kids moved out, I had to relearn how to cook for two without living on leftovers for a week. This is where I keep the recipes that work, the quick weeknight dinners for Tom and me, and the big pans of comfort food I still make the minute everyone comes home.
