Father's Day Favorite

Happy Day! As I get ready to post, it is Father's Day 2010 AND I'm 2000 miles from home celebrating it with not only my husband/our kids' dad, but with our son and his family--him a new father this year. His little Nicholas is now 5 weeks old--and we're having our first visit together. Oh, it's been so much fun to meet--and cuddle--him.

So in honor of all these good things, I'm going to post one of the family's favorite recipes, something we "girls"are going to put together here in a bit for our guys. It is a tradition for special occasions and there's no reason to break the tradition now. Even if we had to come so far to make it.

(By the way, in case son-in-law happens to read this, we will do the same for you when we get back :-)

We call it Spaghetti Loaf, and it is--yes--spaghetti, and cheeses baked in the shape of a loaf (think meatloaf) that, when done, is sliced down and smothered with homemade pizza sauce. Yummm. It's a recipe I came across in the newspaper many years ago. It was an instant hit then, and continues to be a family favorite today.

Here's the recipe:

This may have nothing to do with writing, but the fun is bubbling over, somewhat like a pot of pizza sauce simmering on the stove.

Dessert favorite is Blueberry Cheesecake. But I'll have to share that another time.

Happy Father's Day!
