We spent the other night roasting pie pumpkins and planning dinners for the coming weeks. Everything that was put out was in some way a comfort food for one of the family. Chicken noodle…

Meatloaf: Like Grandma Used to Make
Day 67 – Listening to the CEO of my wife’s company gave us a bit of a pause. She figures there will be more weeks of furlough but he was mentioning 50/50 chance of the US falling into a depression by fall and possible layoffs in the next few months. We knew this was coming…
Mom’s Meatloaf

Kafta Meatloaf
I finally have a computer! After our old desk top, 9 years old, finally died a slow painful death we were able to recover most of the data and pictures off the hard drive. That is what I was most worried about because I had just downloaded pictures from our Walt Disney World trip with…
Mom’s Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf
This isn’t a great picture but this is how my mother used to make meatloaf right down to the ketchup and hot sauce topping. My mother had to stretch her food budget so she would add bread crumbs to meatloaf, more noodles to casseroles and everything was homemade down to the bread and cakes we…
Individual Barbecue Cheddar Meat Loaves
