This Veal Bacon Meatloaf is a sponsored post by Cedar Springs Veal. #ReVEALingExcellence. All opinions are my own. Incredibly moist and full flavored Veal Bacon Meatloaf is a perfect main course for any night. Luxuriously flavored ground veal, ground bacon, and mushrooms meatloaf covered by a layer of crispy bacon.

This Veal Bacon Meatloaf is so easy to put together and the flavors are incredible. It is a moist, flavorful and not too heavy meatloaf. The ground bacon inside the meatloaf, and on top puts the flavors over the roof delicious!

Gimmy Moore’s Sweet Pork Ribs

December 8, 2015 by Nettie 4 Comments

This post is sponsored by Moore’s Marinade’s. All opinions expressed are my own as always.

My kids request ribs every Christmas! I always ask if they would like a ham or turkey? No, they would love ribs! So I tried this recipe from Moore’s Marinade which was out of this world delicious! I marinated Country Style ribs which are so much meatier than Baby Back Ribs. Each rib is perfect as one serving, there is plenty of meat on these ribs. The marinade is so delicious and the pineapple is a wonderful addition. No knife needed! The meat just falls off of the bone.

A Carnivore’s Dream–12 Best Meatloaf Recipes!

November 14, 2015 by Nettie 4 Comments

When I worked in Beverly Hills as a medical assistant, my favorite place to eat when I really wanted comforting home-cooked food wasn’t a fancy restaurant. It was the Brighton Cafe. It was a hole in the wall, with the most delicious meatloaf I have ever eaten, stuffed into a baked potato, filled with avocado, with a dollop of sour cream and hot sauce. The memory makes me salivate.

Cobb Salad

August 12, 2015 by Nettie 7 Comments

Cobb Salad is my favorite summer salad, in fact it is my favorite salad all year round! I feel like I have been eating it my whole life. I don’t even have to think about what I am going to order when we dine at the Daily Grill, it is Cobb Salad and Iced Tea, always! This salad is a LOW- Carb dream. Hard Boiled eggs are also perfect with this salad, but my eggs didn’t peel well and looked awful for the pictures, so I omitted them. I love a creamy Blue Cheese dressing, but you can have any dressing you prefer, Vinaigrette, Caesar, Oil and Vinegar, or just a squeeze of lemon.

Guest Post- My Catholic Kitchen

May 20, 2014 by Nettie 6 Comments

Hi everyone, Vonnie here from My Catholic Kitchen. My friend Nettie is gone for a few weeks helping a friend after surgery. So, I offered to guest post for her until she gets back.

I had a real hard time trying to pick out what I wanted to make. I wanted to make something that made everyone feel welcome and comforting. I decided to go with the Sloppy Joe.

Some foods reminds us of nostalgia. I remember going to school and finding out they were serving Sloppy Joes and that would make my day complete. My mom always thought they were way to messy and would hardly ever make them for us. So it always seemed like a treat when we had them.

There is something comforting with this elbow on the table, big old napkin wiping sandwich. That is, if you want to call it a sandwich. It does contain a bun, but it certainly is not a hamburger although it does have hamburger in the ingredients.

Sloppy Joes are in a class by themselves. They are the epitome of comfort food.

SLOPPY JOES

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef

1 medium Spanish onion minced

1/3 cup ketchup

1/2 cup yellow mustard

1/3 cup molasses

DIRECTIONS:

Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Drain all the fat. Mix ketchup, mustard and molasses. Mix into the ground beef and heat through. Serve on your favorite bun.
