As the blizzard continued to rage on into the second evening, I found myself back in the kitchen preparing some serious comfort food. My mom is with us for the storm, so I am trying to keep our food selections pretty basic. Although Meatloaf (page 290-291) and Macaroni & Cheese (page 292-293) are basic dishes, they're still pretty darn tasty. I didn't have any elbow noodles in the house, so I used penne instead, and we actually liked the texture even better than the elbows. There's nothing very creative or challenging, or very interesting really, about this meal, but if you're looking for something comforting on a cold, snowy evening, this dinner fits the bill.
