Cheesy Barbecue Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a food with a name that is entirely too vague for my liking. What meat, exactly, is it? And why must it be camouflaged in a loaf? Much like the Healthier Chicken Cordon Bleu I posted a few weeks ago, meatloaf is a dish I never had any interest in. I freely […]
Mama’s Flying Solo Salad
On very rare occasions, I find myself alone at dinner time. What’s a girl to do? When I was younger, a brownie sundae with whipped cream and cherries (covering the chocolate, dairy and fruit food groups ) was the meal of choice. Now that I’ve grown wider – I mean, ahem, wiser – I know […]
The Mother of All Mac and Cheese
This mac and cheese recipe is one of the easiest, and most delicious, side dishes. EVER. Alex tells me it is “cheesy, delicious and great for pool parties” which means she will invite people over so I have an excuse to make it. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. A small […]
Grandma’s Garlic Mashed Potatoes
So, I will confess that I have never been much of a mashed potato person.

The Pie That Wanted to Be Baked
Tonight, while baking a pecan pie, I had a moment of clarity. A sign emerged from my mixer bowl of sugary goodness. I realized, at that moment, that things could – and, in fact, would – change if I were courageous enough to proceed boldly in the face of fear. And I mean a […]
