Dill Pickle Meatloaf
I got this great 1966 cookbook at an estate sale that is just ground beef recipes. Growing up in the 1980s in the midwest, I ate a lot of different preparations of ground beef. We never had hamburger helper out of a box, not that I remember, but there were definitely a few different preparations…

Corn & Black Bean Casserole (vegan & gluten-free)
So this post needs to be quick, as I’ve spent the past two weeks moving and I’m exhausted. But this dinner was also quick — and hot and comforting. Well, the prep work is quick. It does take about an hour to bake. Keep that in mind. This is the first thing I made in…

Quick Pumpkin Sausage Sauce
So, for me, the key to quick weeknight meals lies in advance prep, whether it be making basic ingredients ahead of time (like soup stocks) or finding staples that are safe for me. Because my allergies are pretty basic and don’t include corn (and soy is something I’m mildly reactive to), I can use most…

Meals that you can prepare after a long day at work or doing whatever it is you do that makes you tired. You still have to eat,…

Guest Post: Pasta Bake
Can I admit I punted on this one? My big plan for Comfort Food month was set back in August. I was going to do MY best comfort food, potatoes, and then one from my neighborhood — I was going to learn to make ramen. There is a line of gluten-free ramen noodles that I…

MaryKate’s Favorite Baked Potatoes
Back in January when Denise and I outlined our year, I knew that “comfort food month” would include potatoes. My absolute go-to whenever I want comfort food is some form of potato. For me, the fries at 5 Guys are safe, so on a road trip, I’m likely to hit them up. I have made…
