Ask a question about this stepMom's do make the best meatballs. I hope you post Myrtle's Apple Pie recipe someday. Fantastic picture. What a glamorous mother you had.
Thanks! I will be making the pie this fall: it was her very best recipe.
I have enjoyed a similar recipe, also cooked ina meatloaf. Lovely tribute to your mom! My mother had the same approach to cooking as yours ,and also loved her Fanny farmer cookbook.
My mom had the exact same recipe for meatloaf now that you mention that!
So glad you posted this! In May we had a "best thing your mother taught you" contest and we all posted photos of our moms--so glad you were able to post yours.
Sorry I hadn't discovered the site then. That is a contest I will have to find to take a look.
Yes, check out the Mom's Day posts - they are wonderful. Love the light in your Mom's eyes - thumbs up!
Your mom was very pretty, and her recipe sounds amazing! I am always bias to a recipe that has a bay leaf in the ingredients list.
So sorry you lost your Mom! My mother is gone now as well, and she was a Fanny Farmer fan too, as am I. Thanks for sharing her recipe - lovely photo!
Thanks. You are welcome. I was reared on Fanny Farmer! It is a classic.
Pretty picture of your mom, and hats off to your mom's meatballs!

I think I grew up overcooking meatballs! Probably the times on all my recipes should be reduced.
