We’re a household of meatloaf lovers. So, naturally, when a pal instructed me that she makes her meatloaf with a package of Lipton onion soup mix, I knew I wanted to strive it. I’ll admit I’ve tweaked the recipe a great bit from the unique one I discovered on the Lipton web site. I like what I like, what can I say? Nevertheless, it seems that these onion soup seasonings work very effectively for meatloaf.

I cannot get sufficient contemporary berries these days and I’m thrilled that they’ve been so candy and tart and ideal these days once I purchase them. I simply shook collectively a jar of creamy poppyseed dressing to make this summer berry salad this weekend.
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these bath salts. I’ve talked about them within the publication a number of occasions through the years. I by no means was once a shower individual, however these salts work like nothing else for muscle aid and rest earlier than sleep. I depend on them after onerous exercises and, as a bonus, I sleep noticeably higher after utilizing them in a shower earlier than mattress.
