About My Momma:
Is it fitting to eat? My Momma would often ask us kids, as we sat around the table. It always was. My Momma was a great country cook. Even well up into old age! When most people had lost their desire to cook, my mother was right in there leading the way. She cooked for a husband, seven kids, plus farm hands. We lived on a small farm and she made stuff from scratch. Everyone of my brothers and sisters are great cooks also. They are gracious hosts and good entertainers in their homes. My mother passed this wonderful love of food and enjoying company down to us.

It's a Meatloaf day!

Ingredients:
 2 lbs Ground Beef
 1 medium Chopped onion
 1/2 cup Green and 1/2 cup of Red Pepper
 1/2 C Ketchup
 1/2 c spicy mustard
 3/4 c of Bread Crumbs
 1 lg egg
 1/2 tps dried thyme
2 tbs of brown sugar
3 tsp worcestershire sauce



The Perfect Meat Loaf!
          Mix all the above ingredients together and form into loaf and place in an appropriately sized baking pan.

          Mix part of ketchup, worcestershire sauce and sugar
& brush on the top of the meatloaf. Bake for 40 minutes in a preheated 350ยบ oven. Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
          Of course you are going to have a starch: Potatoes- mashed or scalloped, Rice, or Macaroni. All three are a great fit. You can have a brown, or a mushroom and onion gravy, fried cream corn, steamed broccoli, black eyed peas, and brussel sprouts all go great with the 2 basics above.
         This hearty meal screams for a small piece of Cherry Cheese Cake for a desert.
