Welcome to Sunday Supper- Mushroom Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy

PUBLISHED ON: 09.12.2010

It’s Sunday, friends and family are making their way to the house to enjoy Sunday Supper.  If you have been following this blog, you will know that Sunday Suppers is a way that we celebrate our friends and family, by coming together, having a great time, and enjoying a meal together. A meal that everyone participates in preparing and serving.

The weather is still hot so we remain indoors.  I am hoping that soon we will be able to carry the table and chairs to the patio to enjoy our meals outside.

Come join us for dinner!

There is always plenty for everyone
This was amazing.  If you have not had a classic meatloaf in awhile, welcome it back to your table.
