Waneta Stephens of Mount Pulaski, Ill., sent in her recipe for Easy Coleslaw. She’s prepared this recipe for as many as 200 people, but the quantities given here make four servings. Any leftovers can be kept for more than a month stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Joe Bradford’s recipe for Shrimp Feast is perfectly portioned for two healthy appetites. And when the Sea Island, Ga., resident entertains, he simply doubles, triples or quadruples the recipe.
