Got a favorite family, or cookbook meatloaf recipe?  Please please please post here.  I am hungry for meatloaf, and off to call my Mom for the recipe she always made.

Also, I have a theory.  No two families make meatloaf the same way.

Any scaling-down hints, while we're at it?  Since we're looking at solo eating.

This recipe is easy to make both low-fat and full-fat, depending on your diet. You can find the original here, but here's my version. I know this isn't an authentic Mexican dish, but it's delicious and very easy, with most of the flavour focused on the spinach rather than the cheese or the beans. I'm a disaster in the kitchen, yet these are so good ( Read more... )

In regards to a post from a few weeks ago, about, I think, kangaroo, I got a massive craving for liver.  Which, I know, is one of the foods legendary for leaving lifelong childhood scars. I never ate it as a kid, but an ex-boyfriend made it for me once or twice, and I thought it was yummy.  So I wanted liver and onions, and faked it with an assist ( Read more... )

So, you know that "No Pudge Fudge" brownie mix?  Leaving aside the wretched name and packaging, the great thing about this product is the recipe on the side of the box (contributed by a consumer) for making the brownies one at a time.  You combine 2 T of the mix with a tablespoon of vanilla yogurt and pop it in the microwave for one minute and you' ( Read more... )

I was thinking about rotisserie chicken in general, and even if not on sale, it's occasionally worth it to grab as long as you can stretch it to 4 - 5 meals + soup (it's ( Read more... )

I've been looking for good recipes for tofu, and made this over the weekend:

I am the laziest cook that ever lived. Meaning, if I could actually survive on it, I would eat cookies for every meal (especially if they are delivered right to my door). So, to force myself to eat Real Food, I have to work out crazy strategies. It is like World of Warcraft, except with leftovers. I call it tandem cooking, by which I mean "use one ( Read more... )

Ice cream is one of my favorite treats, but I have a hard time limited my consumption if I get the larger containers, and the pints are so pricey (and still too much). Recently, I bought some small, plastic containers and a half gallon of ice cream. I opened up the box completely, and using a knife, I cut up the container into single servings, ( Read more... )

This recipe brought to you by kitchen senility: "What do you mean I already have a tub of grated Parmesan cheese?"

The eggs in this recipe cook when they come in contact with the hot pasta. If you are concerned about food safety, use pasteurized eggs for the ultimate safety. You can use other meats like pancetta or ham instead of the bacon, or just ( Read more... )

Kay, so I was browsing today and came across this recipe. Not sure how available kangaroo meat is elsewhere, here though they sell it in the supermarket.

This recipe serves 2.
