My mom was a German emigre from the Frankfurt region of Germany. She came to the United States as a young woman and in quick order had two children and a broken marriage. My mom came from the time after Wwii when woman were still judged and prime by their homemaking skills. How is their cooking? Can they keep up the house? Will they be able to administrate the household budget? These old-fashioned ideas seem so outer space to most people of today. Circumstances forced my mom to work outside the home all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. She remarried a man that loved her home cooking and he deemed it necessary that we should all sit down to a home cooked meal as often as we could. My mom would get home from work and approximately immediately begin to whip up some marvelous dish.
These food creating times always allowed us both to talk about our day and catch up with what was going on in the world. I am sure this is where my love for all manner of food and drink originated. One of my popular recipes was this economical, simple, and super moist method that I named Flaky Meat Loaf due to the corn flakes my mom always used. You can make this method for under easily. Most of the ingredients should already be in your refrigerator or pantry. Added bonuses from this method are the lean ground beef, low calorie count (240), vegetables, and loads of fiber from the corn flakes.
