Well, we were going to grill, being summer is officially almost here – at least according to the calendar. Then we looked out the window at the rain and chilly weather. Time for plan B…..

Green Salad with Haricot Verts, Pistachios, Feta, Tomatoes
Wild Mushroom Meatloaf with Horseradish Gravy
From Rachael Ray’s Big Orange Book cookbook
Pretty much followed the directions, with the following exceptions;
Cooked the meatloaf ahead, let it cool, sliced it and then pan seared it.
For the gravy added some red wine to the onions and tomato paste while it was cooking, and added Worcestershire sauce at the end.
Green Salad with Haricot Verts, Pistachios, Feta, Tomatoes
From Food Network.com – Cooking with the Neelys
Pretty much followed the directions, with the exception of the vinaigrette. For the vinaigrette – omitted the shallots, used part balsamic and part rice wine vinegar and added mustard and honey.
The Verdict
Excellent!
Meatloaf and gravy were very tasty - next time, might chop the onions in the food processor to make them finer.
The salad was really good – thought it would be good with strawberries added but didn’t try it.
