Soup. Never a recipe. Often the starting point is leftovers from other meals
Meatloaf
Pasta with tomato-meat or marinara or fresh tomato sauce. Or Lasagna.
Chicken - outdoor rotisserie in summer, a variety of ways in cold weather.
Roast beef. Italian beef sandwiches after.
Cuban sandwiches
Gyros or some other lamb dish
Sausages and/or burgers on the grill in summer.
Oxtails in tomato sauce
Stuffed cabbage


Just what I'm thinking about right now.
Favorite to cook and favorite to eat are probably different too, if I
thought much about it.

What I make most of these are probably the soup in the fall and winter, and
pasta dishes, when I'm in that mood. With meat, I think about what we had
last and the time before, and try to go with something else. I've always got
lamb on hand because I buy a whole one every year. The rest of it depends on
what's on sale and what I've stocked up on before.

Oddly enough the last few things I made -- corned beef and turkey -- aren't
on the list. Possibly because I just had them and I'm not thinking about
having either one really soon. Then again, I just had a bowl of soup, and
that's #1 on the list. I love cooking soup when it's cold outside.
