Thank Angharad, I will try Montreal Seasoning Blend. As for the potatoes, I have regular slow cooker and a little cheap (walmart) 2 quart one. That one is a great size for the two of us.

I was a vegetarian when I had a family. Mike and our son still ate meat, but I cooked, mostly,  poultry or fish for them; so, I did have a 100% turkey meatloaf. It was the same simple recipe as my beef/pork meatloaf (which is probably close to everybody else's--ground meat, diced onion and celery, an egg or two, seasoned breadcrumbs).

The secret for making my turkey meatloaf taste like beef was SO simple--Montreal Seasoning Blend! I tell you--shake that stuff onto ground turkey or chicken anything and it tastes like the beef original.

I'd love your slow cooker scalloped potatoes recipe! I've never made them that way.

Earlier this week I decided we needed some comfort food and made meatloaf and slow cooker scalloped  potatoes. The potatoes were fine but the meat loaf not so much. Do you have a meat loaf recipe using only pork or poultry?

I too have British ancestry  and love mincemeat  pie but I am the only one so it is not ever on the menu. :(

I'd hunt for Crosse and Blackwell (or some other "high end") mincemeat. My family, having a heavy British component, had mincemeat pie at Christmas. Crosse and Blackwell is the traditional base for our pie, to which we add diced Granny Smith or other tart apples and whole cranberries for tartness, and then finish the pie with a very thin cheesecake-like layer.

Christmas wouldn't taste quite right without it.

Last week we went on a grocery store quest for gingerbread mix. This is part of our Christmas morning and in years past it was easy to find unless I shopped for it too close to the holiday. We noticed it was not at our regular stores so we went to the fall back "if you can't find it anywhere else, try Walmart". It was not there either. We even had employees looking for it. After trying 3 or 4 stores we went to a store chain (Brookshire Brothers) that pride themselves on a old time feel. There it was we bought two boxes.

Is there anything in your holiday traditions that would lead you on a shopping quest?

Hmmm....Camel...My first thought was ewww gross but they are big animals that could feed a lot of people. Maybe a food source that needs to be looked at.

I would think younger camel might be good, one never knows unless they try it, would be good with a little curry sauce and peppers...an older camel probably is dry
