Comfort Food Meatloaf

Posted by Hallee on Jul 9, 2010 in American Quisine, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, entrees

Meatloaf is one of my favorite dishes, if I prepare it or if my mother prepares it. I’ve learned not to order it in restaurants or get it off of buffets, because a lot of people do something to it that I just don’t do – but I’m not sure what that is. I’ve always used green peppers when I make it, but I didn’t have any the day I made it for these pictures, so I used yellow peppers. I LOVED the difference. I will from now on use yellow peppers to make my meatloaf.

Greek Lenten Tomato Fritters (Domatokeftethes)

Posted by Hallee on Feb 19, 2010 in Breads, Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Mediterranean, Recipes, Snacks, diet & fasting, sides, starters

Tomato fritters are a delightful appetizer or side dish, and a specialty of Santorini, a Greek island known for its tomatoes. The combination of herbs can be adjusted to include dill, parsley, basil, mint, or oregano, depending on taste preference. The recipe calls for self-rising flour. This meatless, eggless, dairyless dish is perfect for Lent or a Daniel Fast. The fresh vegetables in it also make a wonderful summer dish to prepare with the bounty out of a vegetable garden (and, come on – who isn’t desperately searching for zucchini recipes right around mid-August?)

Greek Meatless Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Rice (Lahanodolmathes Orphana)

Posted by Hallee on Feb 15, 2010 in Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Mediterranean, Recipes, diet & fasting, entrees, sides

The word “orphana” means “orphaned” and in Greek cooking, usually means a dish that can be made with meat, but in this case is made without. Cabbage is a favorite winter food, and this meatless recipe is delightful and a Lenten favorite. These cabbage rolls are delicious as a main dish, but I often make them using small pieces of the cabbage leaf, to create small rolls that are perfect as a side dish, addition to a buffet table, or appetizer. Try them also using chard leaves and Romaine lettuce leaves. Because of the lack of meat, this dish is perfect for Lent or a Daniel Fast.

A favorite to any pot luck. I don’t think a church dinner would be complete without chilled green bean and red potato salad.

Menu Planning, Monday 17 Aug 2009

What I did, over weeks and months, was figure out what I cooked, what I served, and what I typically served with it. As I thought of it, I added it to a computer chart I made – and it’s still a work-in-progress.
