Asparagus Soup

Posted on April 29, 2016October 4, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

It’s another great year for our asparagus crop.  I haven’t made asparagus soup in a long time, and it was a great way to use the 3 pound harvest I had in the fridge.  There are so many variations you can make with the ingredients, but fresh asparagus is always the star.  If you have…

Patty Melt Meatloaf

Posted on March 17, 2016October 4, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

Meatloaf is on regular meal rotation at our house.  This is one of the best I’ve tasted.  It’s a version of Don’s meatloaf, with a few twists, just to make it more interesting.  Typically, I use a combination of grass-fed beef and deer meat.  Because it’s so lean, I add fat, to carry flavor and…
