Erratic, is the word that I would use to describe my meal preparation lately.  This week, I've prepared a couple of meals for myself, several meals for my husband and I, a brunch for 40, a dinner for a family of 8 and a cake for 350. 🤪  The leftovers in our house this week, consisted of pieces of breakfast burritos and buttercream slathered cake scraps.  😅

I have a collection of recipes that I pull from when I'm cooking for two people.  Things like grain bowls or simple fish recipes are great two person meals.  I have a separate bank of recipes that I use to cook from when I'm preparing food for a crowd.  (Any gathering over 6 people is a "crowd", in my world.😉)  Big bowls of pasta and pots of hearty soups are my go-to foods for a group.  🍝

29 years of marriage of cooking for the love of my life has taught me a few things about feeding him.  I generally know his likes and dislikes, and with some degree of accuracy, how much he will eat of any given meal.  Preparing meals for people that I know is easy.  Preparing meals for people I don't know - takes meal preparation to a whole new level.  Quite honestly, the challenge of trying to decide which foods someone else will find appealing can feel like trying to pick winning lottery numbers.  

Chicken Stroganoff is a dish that I made recently for a family of 6 that I really didn't know much about.  I was one of several cooks who were donating food to this family and I feared that they would end up with 6 different versions of lasagna.  Pasta dishes are usually a safe bet when cooking for strangers but I wanted to provide some lean protein as well.  And that, my friends, is how I landed on Chicken Stroganoff.  Arguably, mushrooms can be a little risky, especially for kids, but I figured if I left them big enough, they could be easily removed.
