My family loves garlic. This is the perfect meatloaf and mashed potatoes for us. Minced garlic in the meatloaf, roasted garlic in the sauce over the top of the meatloaf and mashed potatoes? Perfect! Don’t have time to make the meatloaf just before dinner? Form the meatloaf the evening before or morning that you want…

Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…

Pork Stir Fry with Chow Mein Noodles
I served this dinner earlier in the week but left it to post today knowing that Thanksgiving Day would throw my schedule off a bit. Hope you enjoy! In cleaning out the freezer I found 4 boneless pork chops that needed to be used as soon as possible. The other night was one of our…
Shrimp with Creamy Tomato Sauce or How I Have Deprived My Children of a “Normal” Childhood
I have started having my children “help” make dinner each night. One cooks while the other sets the table. I give guidance and tell them what to add. They are getting good at knowing different terms such as saute’, pan fry and sweat the onions. Tonight they are being a bit stubborn and picking at…
