This is probably one of the first recipes I put in my recipe collection, probably around 56 years ago. I had found it while looking through my mother’s loose recipes and I copied it to put in my “hope chest”. I usually make these at Christmas time, when I do major cookie bakes. This is […]
Forty years ago there was a sweet little old lady named Emma, who lived in the apartment upstairs of me and she would come over to chat now and then. One day she came and brought a plate of meatloaf surrounded with carrots and potatoes in a very tasty gravy. She was just bursting with […]
When my children were small, they loved anything with a meatball…and this dish was one of their favorites. It’s easy to make and very economical, not to mention very tasty! I usually served them over noodles or with mashed potatoes.

My friend Linda shared this recipe with me several years ago. It’s an easy to make cheese spread, filled with crumbly bits of bacon. Spread it on crackers or with a tray of carrots and celery sticks.
