Patriotic White Trash

Patriotic White Trash , a snack mix with Crispix cereal, pretzels, red, white, and blue peanut M&Ms and generously coated with almond bark.  Keeping it simple and looking rich! If you are looking for the p-e-r-f-e-c-t addicting snack mix, you have come to the right place.  Ha! Ha!  My family can not and I mean can not stop eating this stuff.  It is sweet salty and crunchy at the same time.  Did I say perfectly addicting?

Roasted Ratatouille Vegetables Recipe

Roasted Ratatouille Vegetables,  roasted summer vegetables, eggplant, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion with a whole garlic into a delightful side dish. The recipe is healthy and comforting at the same time--pure deliciousness! I grew up with traditional cooking methods, and they are hard to change, but the older I get, the more I make changes to easier methods. As is with this Ratatouille recipe.   While traditional Ratatouille is made by sauteeing vegetables separately before combining them, I decided to roast the vegetables.

Grandmother's Old Fashioned Meatloaf {Cooked In A Cast Iron Skillet}

Old Fashioned Meatloaf Recipe   My Mother-in-law's recipe.  She taught me early on to cook my meatloaf in a cast iron skillet, which has never changed, and she also taught me not to forget to save the tripping for delicious tomato gravy. She would form her meatloaf in a bun and cook it with enough water about a third way up in the skillet. All those delicious juices make a wonderful gravy.   She believed that a good meatloaf recipe is one that has a good ratio of fat in the hamburger.
