When you get right down to it, what is any Meatloaf but a giant meatball shaped like a loaf of bread. So when you think about it, an Italian Meatloaf is nothing new. While Americans slather their meatloaf (and just about anything else) with Ketchup, this Italian rendition uses a Marinara Sauce for that same look.

Look Out – It’s International Hot and Spicy Day
As far as National or International Days goes, January 16th offers up some interesting choices. In addition to International Hot and Spicy Day (right up my alley), we have Fig Newton Day, Religious Freedom Day, Without a Scalpel Day and National Nothing Day.

Denver’s Eggs without the Omelette
Do you like a Denver Omelette? Silly question, right? Most people, including Kiddo and Hubby, do. Sometimes I’m in the mood for everything except the omelette part. That’s when I switch into scramble mode.
Belgium Waffle Hash Browns
One morning as I was trying to get motivated enough to finish packing up the Christmas Decorations, I convinced myself that if I had something satisfying for breakfast, I’d be more productive. Yeah, right.
National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day
Well I guess we all know what today is – Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. While Kiddo and I might enjoy the classic Hot Pastrami on Rye, Hubby is neither a fan of Pastrami nor Rye Bread. He is even less a fan of good mustard. Do you have one one those eaters in your house?
Awesome Tijuana Tuesday Taco Soup
It was Tuesday. My guys knew supper would be something Mexican inspired. Kiddo walked through the kitchen door at the end of a long, cold day of work and asked what strange concoction had I cooked up this time. I responded as expected, with a hard look.
Casual Mondays and a Classic Hamburger
My guys never know when a Burger might just appear on that week’s meal-planner. Could be Wild Card Wednesday, as in the last time I served up my ever-popular Smashburger with a Dill Pickle Sauce. Or Casual Monday – as in what’s more casual than a Classic Hamburger?
Peach Melba Trifle
Today is National Peach Melba Day. Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches and a raspberry sauce served with vanilla ice cream. I don’t know about you, but I find it strange that a dessert centering around ice cream and a summer fruit should have a National Day in January.
Fond Memories of Coffee Cake
Perhaps it’s the whole notion of Sunday Supper and that walk down memory lane of things that once were that has me dreaming of Coffee Cake. And not just any Coffee Cake, but that first one.
Taking Back Sunday Supper with a Simple Chicken Dinner
Just for the record, today is National Sunday Supper Day. No offense, but that’s just plain sad if you ask me. What does it say about us if we need a National Day to sit down together for a nice Sunday Supper? Times certainly have changed!

National Hot Toddy Day
What is a Hot Toddy? At it’s simplest form, it’s hot water, liquor, honey and spice. A toddy will cure what ails you or ward off dreaded diseases such as the common cold, or so we were once led to believe.
Pan-Fried Potatoes the Southern Way
Today is National Arkansas Day. In honor of this Southern State, I thought we might fry up a big skillet of taters. But before we do, let’s talk about Arkansas.
Celebrate Friday with a Five-Cheese Ziti Bake
Do you realize it’s been over a year since I last shared a recipe utilizing Ziti Pasta? I say that’s too long between recipe.

National Bittersweet Chocolate Day
Today is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day. What is Bittersweet Chocolate? It’s a dark chocolate that has been sweetened yet contains no milk like semi-sweet chocolates. While this form of chocolate is generally reserved for baking, it does make for some wicked chocolate desserts other than cookies and cakes.
Delicious Butter Lettuce Chicken Wraps
Have you ever eaten at a PF Changs restaurant? If so, what’s your favorite dish? For me, it’s got to be the Lettuce Wraps. I could make a meal out of them.
