Glazed Pork Meatloaf Recipe • Moist & Tasty! | Club Foody

 

Until the weather really warms up and BBQ season 🔥 officially settles in, many home cooks will continue making warm and cozy comfort foods such as casseroles, pot roast, braised short ribs, stews, pasta dishes, soups, etc.
 
Each country around the world 🌍 has its favorite “soul food”. North America loves its Mac and Cheese, while Japan enjoys its Nikujaga (meat and potato stew). Great Britain has its Bangers and Mash. During that time, the French savor their >Onion Soup Gratinée.
 
Here at Club Foody, we love our Glazed Pork Meatloaf! Juicy and incredibly flavorful, this recipe is the perfect meal to enjoy with your family. Served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables 🥦, this is a tasty, satisfying dinner that delivers deliciousness every time!
 
I’m not exactly sure if its roots are Germanic, but nonetheless, meatloaf gains international popularity. Besides this one, I have a couple more recipes 📃: Beef Meatloaf and Italian Meatloaf. This warm, hearty dish is always welcome on everyone’s table.
 
In this Glazed Pork Meatloaf, I sauté my onions in butter 🧈 for a couple of minutes until translucent. Sometimes, though, I like adding red peppers to it. Not only does it enhance flavor and add sweetness to the dish, but also adds color. Like I always say – “We eat with our eyes first!”
 
The glaze gives this meatloaf that extra layer of yumminess. When I filmed 🎥 this video, I didn’t have enough of either my Caribbean, Kansas City or Jack Daniel’s BBQ sauce, therefore I opted for my backup… KC Masterpiece. You can use any of my sauces or your favorite one.
 
I barely add salt 🧂 to this recipe, and would you like to know why? It’s very simple. There’s salt in ketchup, even when buying low-sodium. There’s also salt in mustard and definitely in BBQ sauce. The only time I use some is when I sauté the onions to draw out the moisture, which accelerates the cooking process.
 
In the meatloaf mixture, I use warm milk, not hot. It gives the meatloaf a better texture as well as moisture. It also prevents it from drying out. Another reason why I use milk is that it adds more flavor. On the other hand, substitute warm water 💦 for a more economical solution.
 
The rest is pretty straightforward: mix all the ingredients, transfer to a loaf pan, and then pour on half of the glaze. Pop it in the oven for 1 hour ⏰. About 15 to 20 minutes before the end of cooking, the remaining half of the glaze is poured over, spread out, and the meatloaf is returned to the oven until done.
 
Glazed Pork Meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food to make! This nostalgic recipe takes no time to prep 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳, and it turns out perfect every time: moist, juicy, and so flavorful! Served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables, this is a delicious dish everyone always enjoys!
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Rosemary Simple Syrup Recipe - Tips & Tricks | Club Foody

 

I use a lot of condiments for my recipes, and the same applies to my bar. Agave nectar, grenadine, an assortment of aromatic bitters, Worcestershire sauce as well as hot sauce, fruits, celery salt 🧂, olives, cocktail onions are among a few of the essential bar condiments.
 
Additionally, there’s simple syrup. Besides the basic one, there are numerous flavorful versions of this condiment. It can be blueberry, peach 🍑, cranberry, lavender, cherry, ginger, and so on. The one I’m showing today is my Rosemary Simple Syrup!
 
This condiment is a good one to have on hand not only for your bar menu but also for baked goods and savory recipes 🍲. Like any other simple syrup, it’s very easy to make. With just three ingredients, this recipe can enhance many cocktails, sweets, and dishes.
 
I use this Rosemary Simple Syrup when I make my Fireside drink, but it can be used beyond cocktails. It can be added to sparkling water 💦, lemonade, or iced tea. Stir it into a cup of coffee or hot tea for a nice, aromatic herbal flavor.
 
For baked goods, I like to brush some on my Lemon Rosemary Madeleines, when I make a vanilla 🍰 or olive oil cake. It can be tossed in when making a Fruit Salad. Add a small amount when making whipped cream. After baking, brush it onto shortbread cookies.
 
For savory dishes, add a small amount to the bruschetta mixture before tossing it. Whisk some into salad vinaigrette. It can be used in pan sauces, or for making rich tomato-based 🍅 sauces and ragù. As a salad topper or for a charcuterie board, lightly toss the syrup with warm pecans, etc.
 
Like I do with my other syrups, this Rosemary Simple Syrup is not limited strictly to cocktails and can be used for different applications. This condiment can last for up to a month 📆 when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Bourride Provençale with Aïoli Recipe • Fish Soup | Club Foody

 

I love soups… either hot or cold! In most cases, they’re easy to make, can be loaded with nutrients and vitamins 💚, plus they’re versatile. During the winter, a nice hot bowl of soup is very soothing, while during the summer, a cold one is incredibly refreshing!
 
Until we get to warmer weather, we still enjoy soup! In early spring, I make “lighter” recipes like Thai Coconut Shrimp, Hot & Sour, Avgolemono Chicken Soup, Cream of Mushroom 🍄, West Coast Smoked Salmon Chowder, and others, including this one… Bourride Provençale with Aïoli!
 
This fish soup is packed with deliciousness! There’s a nice array of vegetables and seasonings that make this French recipe so amazing! With the added Aïoli, it provides a nice rich and creamy garlicky 🧄 flavor to this classic!
 
There’s no right or wrong when it comes to the choice of fish 🐟 as long as it’s white. Depending where you’re from, it can be anything from cod, turbot, halibut, monkfish, sea bass, etc. After the fillets are well-seasoned, they’re cut into 2-inch pieces so they all cook evenly.
 
When I make 👩‍🍳 my Bourride Provençale with Aïoli, I like pouring in some dry white wine! If you’re worried about using alcohol in dishes, did you know that most of it will evaporate? That’s right! The longer you cook it, the more it burns off! If you still don’t want to use any, substitute vegetable broth.
 
A point I would like to highlight when using white or red wine 🍷 is to use something you like. You don’t need to spend a lot of money. If you can’t stand the taste of it while drinking it, don’t expect to enjoy it when using it in a dish. The wine’s flavors will still be there…
 
Another typical vegetable that is in this soup is potato 🥔. I prefer using Yukon Gold because they hold their shape, but red potatoes are another alternative. An additional one to consider is French fingerling potatoes, and if you decide to use them, simply cut them in half.
 
Piment d’Espelette?
Yes, this French spice is not very common here in North America 🌎. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a type of red chili pepper from the Basque region that is ground. Its best substitute is cayenne pepper. If using it instead, reduce the amount by half.
 
Clam juice is another ingredient that goes in. The 8-ounce bottle can be found at any supermarket 🛒. On the other hand, you can always use a dozen fresh baby clams instead. I prefer using the juice because it’s more concentrated, and I can really savor the taste in the background.
 
Everybody makes mistakes…
I wasn’t paying attention and, in the video 🎥, I added the Aïoli before tempering it. I was lucky it didn’t separate! Technically, it has to be tempered prior to being added to the mixture by pouring the hot fish liquid in a slow stream into it, whisking continuously before adding more until the garlic sauce is tempered.
 
Bourride Provençale with Aïoli is a lovely one-pot comfort food to enjoy this spring! It’s a healthy main course to serve along with crusty bread or crostini! You can keep some extra Aïoli to spread on your bread 🍞… it’s delightful!
Bon Appétit!🍽

Fireside Cocktail Recipe • Crisp & Refreshing! | Club Foody

 

In my 20s, I had a very short list of preferred cocktails. Besides white wine (I started drinking red 🍷 in my mid-thirties), it was Greyhound, Spanish Coffee, Bloody Caesar, Coco Cognac, Grand Marnier on the rocks, and very occasionally a dry martini made with vodka… not gin; I always hated it!
 
Now, the list goes on and on 📃, lol!
 
To this day, if I want a refreshing drink, I opt for Canadian Club with ginger ale or a Greyhound. On a very hot summer day, when the mercury rises above the comfort zone, I might make myself a Michelada or mix a Coors Light 🍺 with clamato juice, also known as a ‘Red Eye’.
 
Come fall and wintertime ⛄, my list differs…
I opt for richer, warm, and hot drinks like Hot Toddy, Mulled Cider, Blueberry Tea, Pomegranate Martini, Golden Sunset, etc. Others I enjoy while sitting by the fireplace are Blood Orange Martini 🍸🍊, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Gold Rush, and more, including this one: Fireside Cocktail!
 
In my book, this drink is an elevated version of a Greyhound! Quick to make ⏳, it captures a cozy feeling due to the added rosemary. This is a cocktail I enjoy sipping during the fall season. It makes a smooth transition from summer to the colder months.
 
I’m sure there are slight variations of other Fireside Cocktails compared to mine…
First and foremost, there’s my Rosemary Simple Syrup that goes into the mix. After rubbing a sprig of rosemary inside and on the rim of a rocks glass, which releases the herb’s natural essential oils, vodka and simple syrup are poured over ice cubes 🧊 before topping it off with pink grapefruit juice.
 
In this upcoming tips & tricks episode (Saturday, Oct. 17th, 2026), I’ll be posting 💻 my Rosemary Simple Syrup. Without going into details, this condiment can be used in both sweet and savory applications. It’s quick to make, but before using it in recipes, let the syrup come to room temperature.
 
This aromatic Fireside Cocktail is perfect as an autumn, winter, or even a holiday drink! Without being overly sweet, it brings gorgeous notes of herbs and slight bitterness. Crisp and refreshing, this is a great mixology to welcome the beautiful fall season 🍂.
Cheers! 🍽

Pumpkin Chai Bread Recipe • A Tasty Fall Treat! | Club Foody

 

David and I enjoy going on road trips. We go at our own pace, change routes on the spur of the moment, stop when we want, and discover little hidden gems 💎.
 
Once, we were driving down to Los Angeles by the ocean, and we saw a bunch of elephant seals near Hearst Castle. We simply stopped, watched them for a while (a couple of male were fighting on the beach… boys will be boys, lol!), took pictures 📸, and left with big smiles on our faces.
 
We like to leave early from our hotel and hit the road when it’s quiet. One time, we left way too early and didn’t enjoy the complimentary breakfast 🍳🥓, so while driving on our way to Palm Springs, we decided to stop at a well-known coffeehouse. We both ordered a large coffee as well as pumpkin bread.
 
At my first bite, I looked at my husband and told him that I would make it much better by adding some chai to it and finishing it with some icing and pumpkin seeds. Sure enough, when we returned back to Canada 🍁 a few weeks later, I was baking my Pumpkin Chai Bread!
 
This sweet treat has become a traditional food item at our house during the fall, as it reflects the season so well. It’s very flavorful, moist, and delicious! It’s a lovely bread to enjoy for breakfast, brunch, as a mid-afternoon snack with a nice cup of coffee ☕, or even for dessert.
 
This Pumpkin Chai Bread 🎃🍞 has a beautiful amount of spice. For the recipe, I use my Masala Chai Mix from my Indian Masala Chai recipe. This chai mix is amazing! I also use my homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice. To give it another layer of flavor, I ice it and then top it off with pumpkin seeds… yummy!
 
Zucchini Bread, Apple Cinnamon Bread, and Banana Bread are popular food items for breakfast, but this Pumpkin Chai Bread is truly a must-try! It’s colorful, and each bite brings a burst of flavor to your mouth! This is the perfect bread to serve to your family this fall 🍂…
Bon Appétit!🍽
