Pam Norby of Amery, Wisconsin, writes: "I'm originally from California, but my husband and I moved to Wisconsin so we could live in the country. We raise animals and grow most of our own fruits and vegetables. I like being able to just walk outside and pick fresh ingredients that don't take a lot of time to prepare. Serious grocery shopping is a long drive away, but thanks to the Internet, I can order just about any specialty food I want." Thin slices of cooked roast beef can stand in for the chicken.
