My grandmother Margaret loved to entertain. This was one of her favorite beverages for cold, blustery, rainy days. We've served it through the years, usually during the holidays, and it's always a huge hit. If desired, serve flecked with nutmeg.

Hidden Veggie Meatloaf
Yummiest meatloaf I've ever tasted. It has so much flavor and stays very moist. Everyone I've served it to loves it. My kids go crazy over it and don't realize they are consuming veggies. This recipe freezes well. Whenever I take the time to do a recipe that takes time (like chopping veggies) and freezes well, I multiply the recipe, eating one for dinner that night and freezing a few more for later.
Out of This World Turkey Brine
This turkey brine recipe is the best around. Use before smoking or roasting your turkey to ensure juicy, flavorful results. My uncle gave me this recipe; he is an avid meat smoker.
Mediterranean Turkey Meatball Sheet Pan Dinner
This ground turkey meatball sheet pan dinner takes on all the flavors of fresh herbs, shallot, garlic, and lemon zest you'll find in Greek cooking. They add loads of flavor to both the turkey meatballs and the veggies. Give the meatballs a head start in the oven, and toss in a few veggies with some of the seasonings, olive oil, and lemon juice for a complete dinner, done on a sheet pan.
