This is a fantastic recipe, tastes so great, it is one of the best meatloaf I have ever eaten.

Loaf leavened with yeast. Requires a bread machine. Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety.

This delicious spread made with cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers is a great way to spice up your sandwiches or burgers.

Don't hesitate to make this delicious casserole. I have made it with leftover chicken or turkey meat, and they all turned out great.

*When you buy carambola, also called star fruit, look for ones that are uniformly yellow to orange and have a subtle perfume. If they are green, they aren't ripe and won't yield a great deal of flavor. At their ripest, their flavor is an unmistakably tropical combination of apple, banana and lychee.
