Rosalie’s Favorite Meatloaf

NOTE:  This meatloaf was one of the favorites at The Old Thresher’s Country Fair, in Elsberry, MO.  It was the featured dish on Friday, and no matter how many we made, we always ran out.  Just a simple recipe with great results!

Fried Apples with Cinnamon Sauce

NOTE:  These fried apples with cinnamon sauce are so good, you could put them right into your favorite pie crust.  Put them on the menu right along with most Country entrees, and everyone will enjoy the sweet contribution.

Stuffed Shells with Marinara Sauce

NOTE:  Everyone loves stuffed shells for the richness of the creamy ricotta cheese filling.  Bathed in marinara sauce or even a light meat sauce, this dish is always a winner.  Served with Italian salad and crusty Italian bread, everyone is happy.

Italian Garden Stir-Fry

NOTE:  My garden is going to town!  So, I just picked what was ready, and made a quick Italian stir-fry.  Be creative, with most anything you have on hand, add a little garlic and onion, and stir-fry in a good olive oil.  Top the dish…

Antipasta Salad with Honey Vinaigrette

NOTE:  This salad is so delicious and full, you could make it a meal.  Ask for a chunk of Genoa salami from the deli, and cube it small.  It is served with a sweet vinaigrette that bathes the salad with Italian flair.

Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

NOTE:  Just in time for a fresh plump summer tomato, this tuna-stuffed tomato is so delicious.  A salad in itself, everyone will want one of these.

Italian Oil Sauce for Dipping

NOTE: This Italian dipping sauce is perfect for dipping Italian crusty bread while waiting for your favorite Italian entree. You will love the flavors in this delicious sauce and it will be hard to stop the dipping!
