Good morning, readers. It’s a new year, with new ideas and well-remembered meals revisited and reproduced.

The first requests of 2015 are from Lou LaNieve, who was visiting in Chattanooga over the holidays and left us with a handful of challenges for the experts (that would be all of you). She is looking for meals for one, simple but tasty one-dish winter meals, and for anything that works well in her new small crock pot.

“I want to eat healthy, but it is not fun to cook for one. I had a recent idea of using the crock pot to make meals to take to others who are living alone, so ideas there would help, too.”

We assured her that there are no more generous or skilled cooks than those who live in or near Chattanooga. Please prove us right, and right away.
