Congrats! I've only done it about four times but the first ones always the hardest. It gets lots easier. I like to make Pot Pies, lots..lots of calzones(kids love them),meatloaf turned out well, kids love meat pockets, pork chili, enchilada, etc. I love making the chils and stew( your recipe looked good) but this time of year would be too hot to eat it. We enjoy soups and chilis in the winter. Enjoy and good luck in your next OAMC day.
