The Story of Yvonne’s Meatloaf
My mom’s meatloaf was spectacular and a family fave. I used to urge her to serve it to company, and when she protested that meatloaf wasn’t a company dish, I couldn’t understand it. Why not? There was surely nothing better than my mom’s meatloaf! My childhood […]

November: a month of comfort food!

Any day can seem like Thanksgiving with the addition of cranberry sauce to the menu! Tonight, we’re having some chicken and sweet potatoes cooked in the crock pot, and I’ll add a green salad and cranberry sauce.
