Brown Sugar Meatloaf and Fingerling Potatoes with Shallots and Garlic
Apr 29th
I come from a very meat-and-potatoes family. My mom still has Fried Chicken Mondays and makes mashed potatoes just about every night with dinner. She also buys a side of beef (that’s half a cow!) every year for just the four people still living in the house. When I was a vegetarian in high school, I ate a salad for every meal because my mom didn’t know what else to make without meat in it. Moral of the story: We eat a lot of meat. And we eat a lot of potatoes. With Mothers’ Day coming up, what better way to celebrate my mom and the childhood she gave me than to make my wonderful boyfriend a Brown Sugar Meatloaf and Fingerling Potatoes with Shallots and Garlic?
Lentil Soup with Sausage
Feb 27th
Last week was a busy week for us as we were picking up our new member of the family from Western Iowa. Her name is Kinley and she’s a beautiful three month old Silken Windhound. I wanted to make something that would be hearty with easy leftovers since puppies are so tiring, so this Lentil Soup with Sausage was the perfect option. You’ll need only one pot to make it, so clean-up is a breeze!
Two Cheese Macaroni
Jan 9th
The other day Chicago was hit with a big snowstorm. When Katrina and I got off of work, the sidewalks near our home were covered in about a foot of snow and we had no desire to walk to the grocery store. We wanted a nice, hot meal for dinner… so what could possibly be better than a creamy bowl of macaroni and cheese?
