RECIPE: Perfectly Simple Meatloaf
UPDATE: This is a fav recipe from my Pre-Cancer Days. It would no longer fit within the new lifestyle.
We needed some comfort food for boxing day, the day that we lost Maggie (Jeff’s pup of over 14 years.) It was a sad day and the house felt quiet even with kids still high on the excitement of Christmas. So we filled the house with the smell of food and played Clue and did our best. She was a sweet girl dog that made this house feel like a home. It’s hard to be dogless.
