Christmas for Nero & Grigio #CBias #ILoveMyk9
Last week I posted about going shopping for my furbabies. I put together the above “gift basket” and couldn’t wait to see how our boys, Nero and Grigio, would react!

We begin our Back to Basics Cooking Series with the humblest of dishes: The Salad. It's the perfect way to turn over a new leaf; to recover from overindulging during the holidays. If making a salad has, in the past, meant opening a bag of iceberg with shredded carrots, drenching in bottled ranch dressing and calling it a day, read on.

OK so maybe I won’t see any doggie baby showers any time soon, but for many of us, pets are members of our family. So it makes sense to get them gifts, too!

Over the holidays, brave women were on my mind. I had the chance to spend time with my three sisters; all are beautiful moms, and I'm so proud of the way they have grown up. (I'm the oldest, so I'd like to think I had some influence ;-)

Believe it or not, I've only made one other meatloaf (Mediterranean Meatloaf). However, we have a lot of ground venison/beef to use up so I thought I'd give this recipe a try.
