All of you ladies are very good cooks, I would venture to say after reading everyone's favorite recipes. And hard working individuals. I worked full time and cooked for husband and three children when our stove quit working just before Christmas. DH did not know the stove had stopped working, but he and the kids purchased an Amana touchmatic II Radarange Microwave oven for me with a cookbook. (copyright 1977) with a classic meat loaf recipe I have used ever since. Bakes in a 1100 watt oven in 18 minutes. Easy, quick, and simple to do.
