Cooking by yourself, while it can be restful, is really about as depressing as a lonely setting for one at the dining room table. I enlisted Chuck's help to make the meatballs in tonight's "glorious one-pot meal--he dove in with good cheer. Turning out 50 of them was hardly the onerous duty or punishment "KP" usually brings to mind. "Glorious one-pot meals" is cooking teacher Elizabeth Yarnell's patented method of cooking meat, veggies, and grains together in a Dutch oven at high heat which leaves every ingredient whole and with all its nutrition intact. Anything I've ever made from her book has been delicious. Miraculously, rotini, beef, carrots, zucchini, and yellow pepper were each cooked to perfection in 45 minutes. So easy, even Gomer Pyle could do it!
