I've cleaned today as much as I can (want to). I've fought with my evil nemesis, a.k.a. "the sewing machine". No beautiful skirt for Princess B, today. I've contemplated meal planning, but since there are exactly three foods that the whole family will agree on what's the point. We had a great meatloaf last night. Mr. Man liked it two plates full, or was it three? My Mama was over and complimented it. Couldn't get teenage Manboy to try it, though, as it was not pizza or fries. (If anyone knows what he eats and where let me know...) Since my heading says cooking I will share the recipe. I didn't take any photos, though, as I was not thinking Tuesday night Meatloaf would be blog worthy, but hey that's life.
Easy Pleasing Meatloaf
2lb lean ground beef
1 pkg Stove Top stuffing (6oz) for chicken
1 cup water
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce, divided (or ketchup)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients except 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Shape meat mixture into oval loaf in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce. Bake 1 hour until done.
Makes 8 servings.
We were talking about childhood memories of food the other day. Doesn't it seem like food used to taste better when you didn't have to fix it, or is it just me? I loved my Ma's popovers and fried porkchops. She used to make mashed potatoes all the time. I have been married 21 years and I think I have mashed potatoes twice. She grilled, too, and her steaks were to die for. She made french toast and pancakes for breakfast. Yum. Hey, Ma if your reading this I'm coming over. Cook for me!
Oh, we had the best news!!! A new baby in the family.
Welcome Princess P! You are loved and prayed for. Much love to the cousins who now have nothing to do more important than loving you. The world is blessed by God because of your arrival.
