Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

Cooking for Kids at the Lodge – Meatloaf

Posted on February 8, 2014February 8, 2014 by Lanie Fioretti

It’s a weekend of family and friends at the  lodge, and I’m making kid friendly meals.
