Meatloaf is an easy, nutritious meal that even kids enjoy. But I have always disliked how greasy it often is. Recently, however, I found a simple solution to this problem. Yes, you can buy super lean beef. But this makes for a very dry loaf. And yes, you can buy special meatloaf pans. But I don't like having kitchen gadgets that are used for only one thing - especially if I can make a multipurpose tool (preferably one I already have!) work just as well. So...I use a wire cooling rack. I simply place a wire cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet, then place the meatloaf on top of the wire rack. This allows all the fat to drain out of the meat during cooking. The resulting loaf is moist, but not greasy. Perfect! Just be sure to use a wire rack with a mesh pattern on it. The smaller the mesh, the better. (Large holes in the rack allow meat to drop down onto the baking sheet. If you don't have this sort of cooling rack, they are pretty easy to find - and you will use it for other things, like cooling baked treats and canning jars. A simple wire rack makes meatloaf grease-free. I should note that some of the meat will stick to the cooling rack. This is acceptable to me because I can't stand greasy meatloaf. If you want, do as I do and scrape off the bits that stick to the rack - then go ahead and serve them. They don't look tidy, but they taste great. You can use any meatloaf recipe you like with this method. The recipe below is my family's favorite. It's easy and basic. You can dress it up, if you like, with additional spices or a sauce on top. I usually serve it as is. It's adapted from a recipe I found at Housewife How-Tos. Easy, Grease-Free Meatloaf Recipe 1/2 yellow onion, minced 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef (90% fat or fattier) 1/2 cup regular oatmeal 1 egg Salt Pepper 4 tablespoons catsup 2/3 cup milk 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a wire cooling rack onto a rimmed baking sheet. (For easiest cleanup, you can line the baking sheet with foil first.) Set aside. 2. Place a skillet over medium high heat and melt the butter (or warm the olive oil) in it. Add the onion and saute until translucent. 3. Pour the onion and remaining butter or oil into a large mixing bowl. Add the beef, oatmeal, and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Add the catsup and milk. Mix together with your hands until well blended. If the mixture seems too runny, add more oatmeal, just a tablespoon at a time, until you prefer the texture. If the mixture seems to dry, add just a tablespoon of milk at a time until the texture is right. 4. Shape the mixture into two loaves and place on top of the prepared wire rack. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of a loaf reads 150 degrees F. Before baking. After baking.

Take your Bible study and quiet time to a deeper level!

There are few places in the Bible where we get a glimpse of things that describe a woman of godly character. Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 are two that stand out to me. They both give us an exhaustive list that make even the most godly woman feel a little challenged and overwhelmed. But when it comes down to it, the lists can be summed up in a few words. Today, let’s look at Titus 2.

Do you all share a devotional at your women’s ministry meetings? We do.

Dandelion wine has been around for about as long as there have been dandelions and wine making - so it's no surprise there are about a gazillion ways to create it. However, most recipes use very large quantities and call for removing the petals from the dandelion flowers. This recipe is different. Not only is the quantity small (about enough to fill a gallon jug), but it saves a ton of time because you don't need to remove the petals from the flowers. The process is also about as simple as you can get, making it a great choice for beginning wine makers. A Few Notes on Making Easy Dandelion Wine: * Be sure to collect dandelions you are 100% sure have not been exposed to chemicals (like weed killers). * Collect only dandelion flowers. It's fine to keep the green leaves (sepals) at the base of the petals, but don't include any stems. * Choose only fully opened, fresh flowers. Avoid partially-opened blooms or blooms that are wilted or are turning brown. * It's fine to freeze dandelion flowers until you have enough to make wine. However, measure the flowers before you freeze them, not after. * Use wine or champagne yeast or your wine will end up way, way too sweet. Regular baking yeast dies before it can fully eat up the sugar in this recipe. Wine or champagne yeast lives longer, and eats up more of the sugar. * You'll need something to help you cap or cork your bottles. The easiest and cheapest is a bottle caper and caps, like this one. Dandelion Wine Recipe 8 cups dandelion flowers 1 gallon boiling water 9 cups granulated sugar (you can experiment by using less) juice from 4 oranges juice from 3 lemons 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) wine or champagne yeast 1/2 cup lukewarm water Large, non-reactive pot with lid Mixing spoon Colander Small bowl Funnel (I used a new, never used car oil funnel) 1 gallon glass jug Balloon Fine mesh strainer Wine or beer bottles with new corks or caps How to Make Dandelion Wine, the Easy Way: 1. Pour the dandelion heads into a large, non-reactive pot. Pour 1 gallon of boiling water over the flowers. Cover with the pot lid and steep for two days. After two days, it will look like this: 2. Place a colander over a large bowl and strain the flower mixture. Reserve the liquid, but discard the dandelion flowers. 3. Clean the pot so no trace of dandelions remains. Pour the liquid into the pot. Stir in the sugar and citrus juice. 4. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast into the lukewarm water, stirring a couple of times to combine. 5. Pour the yeast mixture into the dandelion mixture and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. 6. Place the funnel in the jug and pour the liquid into it. Cover the opening of the jug with a balloon, to prevent bugs, dust, etc. from getting into the wine. Store in a dark location until the mixture stops fermenting. 7. Keep an eye on the balloon for a few days. If it grows quite large, lift up part of the balloon end, releasing the gas. After about 5 weeks, the balloon will probably be only slightly inflated. Release the gas from it periodically; when the balloon stays deflated for one or two days, the wine is done fermenting and is ready to bottle. (Don't bottle before this time, or you risk having your bottles of wine explode!) 8. Strain through cheesecloth until you are satisfied with the clarity of the wine. Funnel into bottles and cork or cap. For best flavor, allow the wine to sit in a dark, cool location for at least 6 months. As the wine ages, it will become lighter in color. I can't show you my dandelion wine all bottled up yet, because it is at the final stages of fermenting. But once it's bottled and aged, it should look something like this: You May Also Be Interested In: For more information about harvesting and using dandelions, see these posts: "Ah Sweet...Dandelions?"

If you're allergic to "ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigold, chamomile, yarrow, daisies, or iodine, you should avoid dandelion. In some people, dandelion can cause increased stomach acid and heartburn. It may also irritate the skin. People with kidney problems, gallbladder problems, or gallstones should consult their doctors before eating dandelion." Dandelion is a diuretic, which means it may also make other medications less effective. To learn more about this, visit the University of Maryland Medical Center website.

For the first time on our new homestead, I've got too much kale and collard greens to eat fresh. This is amazing considering the deer love greens as much as my family! The abundance is a happy thing, though, because greens are easy to preserve for winter eating. You may certainly can greens, but I find them mushy and disagreeable when preserved this way. You may also dehydrate greens to use in smoothies or to powder and add to various dishes. You may also freeze dry greens for similar purposes. (Learn more about dehydrating vs. freeze drying here.) But my preferred method for preserving greens is freezing - because frozen greens are most like fresh, cooked greens. Typically, I defrost frozen greens, pop them into a skillet with a dab of bacon drippings or olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and maybe some onion or garlic powder, and saute until bright green. DEElish! You may also use frozen greens in any cooked dish, like casseroles or enchiladas. But first, you gotta prepare the greens, which may include: * collards * kale * spinach * mustard greens * turnip leaves * kohlrabi leaves * radish leaves * Brussels sprout leaves * broccoli leaves * cauliflower leaves * Swiss chard * and orach. But no, it's not quite as simple as popping the greens into a freezer bag and tossing them in the freezer. That, my friends, would result in goopy mush. (But it works well for green beans!) Preparing Greens for Freezing 1. Wash the leaves, and remove all thick stems. I usually tear the leaves off the stems, but you may cut them if you prefer. The stems are edible, by the way, but they require more cooking than the leaves, and I usually just compost them. 2. Roll the leaves into a cigar shape and slice into thin strips. The thicker the leaves, the thinner the slice you'll need. For example, collards are pretty thick and tough, so I cut the slices just under 1/4 inch wide or so. Spinach is pretty thin-leaved, so I make the slices about 1/2 inch wide. Chopping kale in preparation for freezing. Blanching Greens for Freezing 3. Fill a large pot with hot tap water and place it over high heat. 4. While waiting for the pot to come to a boil, thoroughly wash and sanitize the sink. Pour ice cubes into the cleaned sink and add cold tap water. 5. When the water in the pot comes to a full boil, carefully add the prepared greens. Blanch for an appropriate amount of time: Collards = 3 min. Other greens = 1 - 2 mins. The thicker (tougher) the leaves are, the more blanching time they require. 6. When the greens are done blanching, place a colander over the opposite side of the sink (the one without ice in it) and strain the greens. 7. Quickly transfer the strained greens to the ice water.* 8. When the greens are completely cool to the touch, use a slotted spoon or your hands to transfer them back to the colander. Allow to them to drain for a few minutes. Freezing Greens 9. Transfer the greens to freezer-safe containers. Use within 1 year. Greens blanched, bagged, and ready for the freezer. *NOTE: A more traditional method is to pour the blanched greens directly into the ice water, without putting them into a colander first. However, I find my method cools the greens faster, thereby stopping the cooking faster, which in turn leads to a more nutritious and fresher-tasting end product.
