Not Your Mama’s Meatloaf Try this slice of comfort food with a red wine glaze instead of the traditional ketchup or barbecue. Make your meatloaf with your favorite ingredients. Some people use lean ground beef while others like to add lamb, pork, or veal. Add spices like parsley, sage, nutmeg and

 cayenne for a subtle undertone. The red wine glaze is made by combining red wine, sugar, molasses, and allspice in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil until the glaze has thickened then brush it over the meatloaf 20 minutes before it is done cooking. Pair with steamed carrots and a helping of garlic mashed potatoes. Leek and Red Wine Soup Combine saffron, leeks, and extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When the leeks are tender, add red wine, chicken stock, and crumbled toast

 and allow the mixture to simmer. Puree the soup in your processor or with an immersion blender. In another skillet cook more leeks until tender and add them to the finished soup puree with freshly grated Parmigiano and croutons. Salmon with Red-Wine Balsamic Sauce Made famous by New York’s Gotham
