• After you have lined a long serving dish with four sections side by side, then you will take your cream cheese (using a mixer) whip all 4 pkgs together in a bowl.Add the 2 tbsp milk to help the blening process. Then frost your loaf and garnish with parsley or whatever you prefer to dress it up a bit. Chill until ready to serve about 2 hours

GRANDMA'S EVERYDAY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients well and shape into a loaf. Place in a bread pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove meatloaf briefly from oven and drain as much grease from pan as possible. Top meatloaf with 2-4 tablespoons more catsup. Return to oven and continue to bake for 10-15 more minutes or until done.
• 2. Grandma served this hot with scalloped potatoes or cold in sandwiches.

MY MOTHER'S PEASANT BREAD: THE BEST EASIEST BREAD YOU WILL EVER MAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast (I love SAF Instant Yeast). Add the water. Mix until the flour is absorbed. (If you are using active dry yeast, see notes below.)
• Cover bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot to rise for at least an hour. (In the winter or if you are letting the bread rise in a cool place, it might take as long as two hours to rise.) This is how to create a slightly warm spot for your bread to rise in: Turn the oven on at any temperature (350ºF or so) for one minute, then turn it off. Note: Do not allow the oven to get up to 300ºF, for example, and then heat at that setting for 1 minute - this will be too hot. Just let the oven preheat for a total of 1 minute - it likely won't get above 100ºF. The goal is to just create a slightly warm environment for the bread.
• . Grease two 1-qt or 1.5-qt oven-safe bowls (see notes below) with about a tablespoon of butter each. Using two forks, punch down your dough, scraping it from the sides of the bowl, which it will be clinging to. As you scrape it down try to pull the dough toward the center (see video below for guidance). You want to loosen the dough entirely from the sides of the bowl, and you want to make sure you've punched it down. Then, take your two forks and divide the dough into two equal portions - eye the center of the mass of dough, and starting from the center and working out, pull the dough apart with the two forks. Then scoop up each half and place into your prepared bowls. This part can be a little messy - the dough is very wet and will slip all over the place. Using small forks or forks with short tines makes this easier - my small salad forks work best; my dinner forks make it harder. It's best to scoop it up fast and plop it in the bowl in one fell swoop. Some people like to use flexible, plastic dough scrapers for this step.
• for about 20 to 30 minutes on the countertop near the oven (or near a warm spot) or until it has risen to just below or above (depending on what size bowl you are using) the top of the bowls. (Note: Do not do the warm-oven trick for the second rise, and do not cover your bowls for the second rise. Simply set your bowls on top of your oven, so that they are in a warm spot. Twenty minutes in this spot usually is enough for my loaves.)
• Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375º and bake for 15 to 17 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and turn the loaves onto cooling racks. If you've greased the bowls well, the loaves should fall right out onto the cooling racks. If the loaves look a little pale and soft when you've turned them out onto your cooling racks, place the loaves into the oven (outside of their bowls) and let them bake for about 5 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the onion, garlic, milk, oats, egg, salt and peppers. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak up the liquid. Add in the ground beef and mix gently with your hands, just until combined (this should only take about 30 seconds, really!)
• Place ground beef on a large baking sheet and shape into a loaf. Combine topping ingredients and spread over the top and a small amount around the sides of the meatloaf. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until you have an internal temperature of 155°F. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.

NOT MY MOMMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the celery, carrots and onions in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the oil to a saute pan over medium-low heat, then add the chopped veggies and cook, covered, until translucent. Transfer the veggies to a plate and cool in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, mix together the panko, buttermilk, ketchup, Worcestershire and eggs in a bowl. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Once the veggies are cool, add them to the mixture and incorporate. Next add the ground beef and pork and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Line two loaf pans with parchment paper and divide the meatloaf mixture between them. Cover with foil and bake until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Slice and serve immediately, or cool, slice and reheat. Serve with Herb Aioli and Spicy Hollandaise.
• Add the mayonnaise, olive oil, sage, green onions, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and egg yolks to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and well incorporated.
• Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Blend the yolks, hot sauce, wine, salt and pepper in a blender, then drizzle in the melted butter while blending, until the sauce is smooth.
