Meatloaf is one of those home cooked comfort foods that often come from recipes passed down for generations. My favourite (and easiest!) meatloaf recipe is pretty basic so when we decided to invite another family over for dinner and meatloaf was the agreed-upon main course, I wanted to come up with something that was still basic enough the kids would eat it but interesting enough to put on the dinner table for guests.
It's no secret that I have absolutely no idea how to BBQ. Every summer I make some minor comment about being interested in learning but it never actually happens. Thankfully, the men in my life know their way around a grill and are more than happy for me to show up with bags full of groceries and a hankering for things like Bacon-Wrapped Planked Whisky Chicken.
This White Cheddar and Ale Soup is one of those meals that make my husband feel loved. So loved in fact that he even offered to do the dishes! I don't know if it was the smell of bacon and garlic that filled the house or because it only took me a total of 30 minutes from the time I offered homemade soup for dinner to the time I put it in front of him. Either way, this soup recipe is a keeper!
My kids love muffins. Blueberry, oatmeal or bacon and eggs it doesn't matter, they love them all.
That's right—I said bacon and eggs because if it comes from a muffin tin and fits in their hands it's a muffin and they love it. Seriously, if I could find a way to make a roast beef dinner in the shape of a muffin they would eat it.
