Meatloaf is one of those recipes that can evoke good or bad memories from our childhood. I remember before discovering this recipe, my mother made another version of meatloaf (obviously no BBQ sauce), and I never loved it. Actually I hated it. I think …

It’s also a quick recipe that you can easily make after a busy day at work, as it requires no preparation beforehand, and from start to finish, it can be ready in 45 minutes.
This recipe requires a can of cherries, and although you can add fresh cherries when they are in season, like I did, you also need to buy the pitted cherries in a jar or a can because the syrup is an integral part of the recipe.

Caesar Salad is delicious all year round but is particularly enjoyed as a meal during the hot Summer months. I’ve ordered this a couple of times while out in Italy, and it’s usually a little disappointing. My favourite go to recipe for Caesar Salad is my mother’s recipe and the one I grew up with.
