Gnocchi Stuffing #SundayFunday

This stuffing is so good that it can be served as a main course or as an alternative for those who are not turkey fans.

For These Things I am Grateful and the Weekly Menu including Thanksgiving.

Last night we celebrated Friendsgiving with a casual dinner and game night.  The Angel Face joined in the fun as her Parents were out having a date night.  Friends and Family are always first on my list of things for which I am thankful.

Repurposing Meatloaf Two Ways

Last Saturday, my brother, Dick, joined us for dinner.  We had Mass before he was scheduled to arrive so I decided to make Crockpot Meatloaf so it would be ready when we got home.  I made a batch and a half because Rae had said she would make Meatloaf Sandwiches for dinner on Sunday.

Meatloaf Sandwich

As a kid, Mom sometimes packed me leftover meatloaf sandwiches for lunch.  Cold meatloaf on soft bread with ketchup.  I loved it but had never made it myself.  Rae's Meatloaf Sandwich was nothing like that!!!

X is for Xylocarp

What is a xylocarp?  It is a fruit with a hard woody shell.  The best-known xylocarp is a coconut.  And the best way to enjoy coconut?  In a Pina Colada, of course.

Holiday Parties and the Weekly Menu

The holiday season is in full swing on the Farm and our calendar is filling up quickly with outings, gatherings, parties and preparations. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off....
