Reviews

Great way to serve brocolli. I add a bit of lemon juice, smidge of seasame oil (tastes more like Asian brocolli than Italian). Cook/steam the brocolli in a few tablespoons of water in a pot with a tight fitting lid instead of boiling. No more than 5 minutes in my opinion or it's overdone.

Aussie Meatloaf

This is an OUTSTANDING recipe! But a few tweaks to the recipe made it absolutely SUPERB. (And I never thought I'd say that about any other meatloaf recipe than Mom's.) Here's what I changed to the LOAF recipe: 1. Use half the amount of curry. 2. Add four diced celery stalks 3. Saute the onions to a golden brown before adding them to the loaf. 4. Use only half the amount of milk and water. 5. Add two roasted then diced red bell peppers. 6. Add two teaspoons of caraway seeds which have been toasted then gound to a fine powder. I guarantee you'll find yourself sleepwalking to the refrigerator in the middle of the night to sneak a few more bites! :-)
