Meat Loaf with Mushroom Sauce
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Cannellini with Tomatoes and Sage

Cooking time: 70 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      My mother used to alternate her meat loaf - one time she would smother it in Campbell's Tomato Soup, the next, Cream of Mushroom. This is my version of Meat Loaf with Cream of Mushroom Soup.  Leftover Meat Loaf on Monday; leftover Cannellini on Tuesday.  

Meat Loaf with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

      Classic meat loaf paired with a creamy sauce made from field mushrooms.  You can use any ground meat or combination.

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Total time: 60 minutes  10 - 15 in the microwave
     These will, obviously, cook much faster in the microwave and I have seen in the U.S. that you can buy them micro-wave ready ....whatever that means.  Sweet potatoes are incredibly good for us, easy and delicious! You can start in the micro for 8 minutes, then finish in the oven for 20 - 30 longer.  Faster but still with a crisp skin.

Cannellini with Sage, Garlic and Tomatoes 

Total time: 20 minutes
    I love beans and this is one of my favorite ways to have them. It's quick, easy, and, except for the tomato, uses pantry staples. The vinegar add just the right tang to the sweetness of the beans.
