I have a great recipe for meatloaf, taken from Family Circle, 9/76. I take it to potlucks and when it is my turn to be hostess for Faith Circle monthly meeting. There were several pages of recipes under the heading of Marvelous Meatloaves. My favorite is "The Store" Meatloaf by Bert Greene. Through the years, I have made many adjustments to the recipe. One of our friends is diabetic, living alone. I bought very small loaf pans and cook the meatloaf in as many as I can fill up. They freeze well. I have never met a man yet who does not like a meatloaf sandwich.
If someone is sick and I can't get excited about cooking or am pressed for time, I take them a quart carton or two of the Organic Chicken Broth from Costco. A cup of that heated in the microwave is so very good. I keep a good supply of the cartons of chicken stock, buying extra each time I shop at Costco. They now carry cartons of Bone Broth, but to me, it is tasteless.
