Mexican Meatloaf with Honey Chipotle Glaze

Mexican Meatloaf with Honey Chipotle Glaze

Meatloaf is a huge fave of my folks (my fave octogenarians, I call them) and especially when fall rolls around. But it always seems like there are two issues with meatloaf. The first? Even though we have an absolute fave, this Cook’s Illustrated Meatloaf, there’s no doubt sometimes you need a change-up from the classic! This Mexican Meatloaf with Honey Chipotle Glaze is a def upgrade…still familiar, still meatloaf,  but popping with fun flavor!

I have other White Chicken Chili recipes here, so I’m not really sure how I got inspired to make this one. A hint of fall coming, maybe? Yep. I said it. Fall. I’m not too happy about fall coming but I’m glad I made this Easy White Chicken Chili. It’s seriously delish.

It might seem like my blog has a lot to do with baking, lately. I’ve been updating all of my Dessert Menus; organizing them properly and that means posting the results. So if you’re tired of multiple posts on Desserts, thanks for bearing with me. So I thought I’d reward you with a cookie, but not just any cookie. It’s a “Must Make.” These are Jacques Torres’ Chocolate Mudslide Cookies.

Home-made Cherry Pie Filling

Home-made Cherry Pie Filling

There was a time when I was a youngster, I didn’t like cherry pie. Or pretty much cherry anything. I couldn’t really “get it” because I love cherries so it would stand to reason I should love things made with cherries. I was boggled. Until once, when I was just a kid, about 19, a neighbor dropped off a paper grocery bag full of cherries from her tree and I needed to do something with them. Even then, I knew what a precious gift that was! And so came about my Home-made Cherry Pie Filling.
