I realize I already posted a meat sauce recipe once, but this one is very different and just as good.

Everybody knows the Crock Pot of the ’70s has been reborn as the slow cooker of the ’00s, and every busy parent/cook/homemaker must have one. If you don’t, get one, or you can do this recipe in a pot on the stove as long as you don’t mind having stuff cooking on your stove for [...]

mayo (not miracle whip)

When I was living at home, there was one thing that my Dad would make for dinner that would make me run home, no matter where I was or what I was doing. So, when I moved out to live with my boyfriend (now fiance), I knew that I needed to steal the recipe and [...]
