Meatloaf. Great band and a perfect, no frills, rib sticking meal. I’m sure most of you already have a favorite meatloaf recipe. I had a solid one from my mom, which is the bones of this recipe. However, one day several years ago, I did not have the traditional tomato sauce/paste the recipe called for, […]
I’ve read it many times. It takes 66 days of doing something to form a habit. During the tail end of last year, I became aware of something called The Last 90 Days. It was about building motivation and habits BEFORE the beginning of the new year. To go into the new year strong, with
