A Go-To Recipe

One important piece of knowledge to keep on hand is an easy, tasty, go-to recipe you are able to make well. You can use it for guests, or even as something to put together on a low-effort day. If you bring it to a work function, people may call upon it again, and it can leave a great impression on your coworkers. The specific recipe doesn’t matter too much, and it doesn’t even have to be ‘real’ cooking: meatballs cooked in a nice sauce in a slow-cooker is a great two-part shortcut, but not the only easy recipe. Try a few out, see what people think, and when you find a winner, commit it to memory. See if you can even stow the ingredients, such as frozen or shelf-stable components, so they can be ready at a moments notice and impress with your skill.
