    I really love the versatility of meat loaf, or in this case turkey loaf. It’s sort of a kitchen-sink kind of dish around here. I like to put grated vegetables such as carrots or zucchini in ours. You will always find sautéed onions or shallots and herbs in the ones I make. They are sort of a whole meal in themselves.

    Have you ever noticed how every family has their own Thanksgiving meal traditions? I think it’s very interesting how these influences are passed down from one generation to the next. Fortunately, my family’s Thanksgiving meal traditions were very similar to my husband’s, thus preventing divorce in our first year of marriage!

    Hometown Recipes: Sweet And Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

    Sun, 10/30/2011 - 10:00pm  |  oldcontent

    The smell of roasting pumpkin seeds will always take me back to my childhood. I have a lovely memory, you know, a movie in your mind that will be with you forever. I was walking home from school on a very chilly, cloudy Halloween afternoon after attending my class party.

    Hometown Recipes: Pumpkin Won Ton Appetizer

    Sun, 10/23/2011 - 10:00pm  |  oldcontent

    erinwalgamuth-headshotAs I write this it is foggy and wonderfully cool outside, which seems appropriate for a pumpkin based recipe. This appetizer is delicious any time of the year, but I do like to serve it from now through the holidays.

    You can easily double this recipe and have the won tons for dinner instead of as an appetizer if you like. And, as usual, add or change ingredients to make this recipe your own.

    Hometown Recipes: Shallot And Thyme Cream Sauce

    By Erin Walgamuth

    Many, many years ago I had a wonderful recipe for a cream sauce that you drizzled over pork chops and served with sautéed apples. Well, I have since lost the recipe….dang it, but I still make this dish from memory. You can do this for pork tenderloin as well, just brown the meat in a skillet before putting it in the oven and follow the directions from there.

    My sister, daughter and I traveled up to central California a few weeks ago to visit our family. We spent a beautiful Saturday on the lake catching up with relatives and friends. That night we all gathered for a barbeque. It was a beautiful evening, a bit humid with some lightning and sprinkles. We sat around the pool drinking wine, laughing and chatting for hours. It was an evening I will never forget.

    I realize that the title for this recipe is a bit strange, but I use the chicken and mushroom base for various dishes, so please bear with me.

    Hometown Recipes: Ultra Simple Creamy Tomato Soup With Basil Cream

    By Erin Walgamuth

    What to do with the last of our garden tomatoes? Yes, this was my question to the universe as I stood in front of what is left of my vegetable garden this morning. There were only four, beautiful, red, plump, juicy tomatoes left on the vine….boohoo and I wanted to make them count. Well, we all like tomato soup, so it was a no-brainer!
