Savor Tooth Tiger: Classic Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes

December 4, 2025 by Allyson Van Lenten

At my house, we affectionately call this dinner “Grandma Meal”. On a cold Winter’s night, nothing says comfort quite like hot mashed potatoes topped with butter, classic meatloaf and glazed carrot coins.

This banana bread recipe stays soft and fresh for several days, making this an ideal choice for an easy breakfast or tea-time snack. I use olive oil, which seals in moisture, … [Read more...]

Savor Tooth Tiger: Magical Butterscotch Cupcakes

May 14, 2025 by Allyson Van Lenten

This is not your grandmother’s purse candy. To me, real butterscotch conjures up images of giant copper kettles bubbling in old-timey confectioneries and candy emporiums. The smell of butter and sugar lingers in the air for hours. Butterscotch is easier to make than its fussy cousin caramel and has more flavor. It makes the best topping for cupcakes, ice cream or blondies. I … [Read more...]
