Easy old fashioned meatloaf from Massachusetts
The beauty of meat loaf is that it can be comfort food or luscious entertaining; come to the table warm with vegetables, gravy, and mashed potatoes or cold with salad, bread and pickles.
Boston baked beans
As the early settlers did, you could get more than one dinner from a batch of baked beans. Freeze any surplus beans in small containers for other times when you are squeezed for time.
