Kale Waldorf Salad
One of the first recipes I copied from my grandmother was for a simple Waldorf Salad. I still have that 3×5 card and still enjoy a big bowl of it from time to time, with its hearty crunch and tart-sweet pairing of flavors. With my love of kale, I developed a new recipe, loosely based…
Meatloaf Pizza Subs
I really love leftovers…especially when they can be reinvented to make a fun, easy, and completely new dinner! This was a raving success and something I will definitely be repeating. While I used leftovers from my Roasted Veggie Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze, any meatloaf will do!
