What is it about meatloaf? It can be absolutely delicious or completely blah. To me, it’s classic comfort food, super quick to put together and if you use the right ingredients, a healthy and delicious dish for your family. It’s flexible, versatile and you can change up ingredients at will. This recipe makes a large, super moist and tender meatloaf. My husband has never been a big meatloaf fan but he literally devours this when I serve it!

Perfect Peanut Butter Cups
It’s Valentine’s Day soon which means lots and lots of chocolate. I’m a certified ‘chocoholic’ so I know I’ll be indulging along with all the rest of you! My holiday gift to you this year is a super easy, kid-friendly, gluten-free, absolutely delicious, additive-free recipe for homemade Peanut Butter Cups!
Easy Balsamic Chicken in the Crock Pot
Balsamic vinegar-dark, sweet, and mysterious. I use it for all kinds of things including my favorite spiced fig jam but today, we’re talking chicken! I’m a dark meat chicken girl but my husband prefers chicken breasts so, perfect marriage right? I get the dark, he gets the white, everybody’s happy! I’ve discovered another perfect marriage-the marriage of dark and sultry, tangy balsamic vinegar, garlic, chicken and the low and slow cooking you get in a crock pot.
Beef Chili
Nothing can warm you to your toes like a big steaming bowl of chili! It’s perfect for these cold winter days and there’s nothing more comforting than a pot bubbling on your stove filling your house with an undeniably amazing fragrance. I know what you’re thinking. Cinnamon in chili? Is she nuts? And chocolate-how can that be any good? All I can say is trust me. This is my most requested recipe of all time. People love it and I think if you give it a try, you will too!
Lasagna with Meatballs, Spinach and Béchamel
Doesn’t that just warm your heart on these cold winter days? Hot, cheesy and wonderful, a classic lasagna with homemade meatballs and sauce and a creamy layer of Béchamel underneath to make it extra wonderful. Don’t be scared by Béchamel sauce. It’s a super easy white sauce with a little nutmeg added in. It adds a wonderful richness to the lasagna that takes a classic comfort food to a whole new level. Once you try it, you may never go back!
