Dad’s Meatloaf - from The Lost Kitchen by Erin French, author of the new memoir Finding Freedom.

SAH mom, dear husband, dear daughter, dear twin sons, floppy eared fur-baby. Love to teach, garden, cook, sew and craft, occasional computer geek for children!!

When I was away at college, this is the dish I craved the most. It is my dad’s recipe, one that he taught me how to make in the diner. I put my own spin on it and frequently treat myself to this on chilly nights with a baked potato and sour cream—or, for this more refined version, a bed of magenta slaw or a silky parsnip puree. - Erin French -
