This is the meatloaf recipe everyone liked better than I did.  I still favor my Grandma Anderson's recipe but since the family liked it, here it is. In a small bowl, combine to soak 1/2 c milk 1 egg 1 c toasted bread, cubed or 1/2 c dried bread crumbs Let stand 5 minutes. In hot skillet, sauté 1/2  medium onion, diced 1 T butter Remove from heat, add 1 t fresh chopped parsley or 1/2 t dried Allow to cool. Mix together: 1 lb ground beef 1 T ketchup 1/2 t salt 1/4 t black pepper 1/4 t paprika 1 clove garlic, minced or generous sprinkle of garlic powder  1/4 t thyme 1/2 t Worcestershire sauce Add in cooled onion & parsley mix combine well then add in the milk-crumb mix ture Shape meat into a loaf or into a loaf pan Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour Turns out if you want, you can shape them into patties and fry in butter until cooked through and have single serving meatloaf burgers instead of one big loaf.

This brought back childhood memories.  It tasted just like one of the only fish dishes I had liked as a child.  Now, I like a lot of fish but this was delicious and easy.  I think it might sway someone to eat more fish.  It takes just a bit over 15 minutes. In a hot iron skillet, place 2 white fish fillets (about 6-8 oz each) (halibut, tilapia, flounder...) and pour over the top 1 cup fish stock (or chicken stock or water with a tablespoon of Thai fish sauce) Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes Meanwhile, mix 1 egg yolk  2 T milk Set aside. Remove cooked fish and keep warm on serving dish Reserve 1 cup of the hot fish stock (it's ok if there is a bit less than a cup) In the hot skillet , over med-hi heat, melt 1 T butter  2 T flour whisk quickly to form a roux Pour in gradually 1/2 c milk whisking constantly to make a smooth sauce Next add in the reserved fish stoc k Stir constantly and simmer for about 5 more minutes until thick and ...

I can't come up with a name for this dish inspired by B's braces getting tightened and her love of "funeral potatoes" aka 'heart attack on a plate. ' This is basically a Scandinavian inspired twist on scalloped potatoes.  The root fruits (as they are called in Sweden) break up the monotony of just potatoes, adding some other flavor but not giving up too much of the creamy comfort of the original. Give it a try when it's cold outside or you need a change from your usual potato dish. Prepare: 4 medium red potatoes , sliced thin (leave skin on) 1 parsnip , peeled and sliced thin 1 golden beet, peeled and sliced thin 1 large leek , sliced thin 3 T of cold butter, cut into cubes 11/2 -2  cups of Havarti cheese - shredded or cut into thin strips Place one half of each ingredient in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the layer with salt, pepper, and paprika and pour 1/2 cup of milk over the top Then make the second layer and sprinkle the top with...

Rumor has it this is a recipe everyone who was a kid in 1980s Sweden will recognize.   I laughed when I saw the ingredients but as it was recommended I had to try it. Back then it was served on white rice with shredded iceberg lettuce and cucumbers.  I updated it slightly. It also called for Heinz chile sauce which I did not have access to so I went with a green taco sauce I had in my cupboard. It is super easy, just assemble the ingredients and cook it. Here it goes.  But seriously, you will find yourself reaching for seconds! In a 9x13 baking dish, arrange/spread evenly/layer: about 2 c cooked cubed/bite-size pieced chicken 2-3 large bananas split lengthwise and cut into chunks (each piece is a long 1/8 of banana or so) 1 1/4 c heavy cream WHIPPED a generous 1/3 c red or green chile or taco sauce as mild or hot as you prefer Bake at 435 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until surface is golden brown, caramelized Let casserole REST! AT LEAST 10 minutes, hot bana...

Pancakes Worth Making (and eating) These are the family favorite now.  They are so tasty and actually filling. I have seen a few modern versions but this one comes from a 1964 Osterizer blender pamphlet and as the quickest version, it wins. Beat together with stick blender until smooth- 2 eggs 1/3 c cottage cheese 3/4 c sour cream Then add and mix lightly- 1/2 t baking soda 1/2 t salt 1/2 c SIFTED flour Let batter rest while griddle warms up. Only pour the batter onto the griddle when it is sizzling hot. Serve hot with sliced apples, bananas or berries and syrup, agave, jam or just butter. And honestly they are good just by themselves on the go if needed.

This is the winning recipe from the recipe experiments.  The baking powder makes the difference in crispiness for me.  It is for traditionally heart-shaped waffles but it will work with American squares.  It's the flavor you want! Beat together until smooth: 1 1/4 c unsifted all-purpose flour 3/4 c water Stir in: 1/4 c heavy cream 2 T sugar 1 1/2 t vanilla 2 1/4 t baking powder 1/8 t salt Separately, beat until stiff: 1 c heavy cream   (beat more if serving whipped cream as topping) Fold into the combined batter. Heat your waffle iron on medium-low until water drops sizzle. Pour batter onto hot iron and let bake until golden. Served traditionally with cream and fresh berries. Tastes great with sour cream & frozen berries, nutella and bananas, etc.

This tastes great served cold, also. Bring salted water to a boil to prepare 1 -1 lb pkg cheese tortellini Drain and set aside for combining. Place under broiler in oven for 3-4 minutes on each side.(until flakes easily) 2 small tuna steaks   (or you can use a can of tuna, drained) Flake with fork into bite size pieces. Sauté in large pan: Olive oil 1 colored bell pepper, chopped ¼ c red onion, chopped ¾ t fennel seeds, crushed Mix together ½ c milk 2 t flour ½ t dry mustard ½ t pepper Add this mixture to sauté pan and cook until thickened. Add in the tuna and tortellini.   Warm thoroughly about 3 minutes. Serve on bed of   baby spinach .
