1. Meatloaf with Ricotta
This is a perfect, light summer dish. We like to have a salad afterward, and a piece of fruit. Do not overpuree the broccoli pesto, as a little texture is nice. Sometimes we add another garlic clove to the pesto.

3. Fall Vegetable Medley
We harvest lima beans, cabbage, and leeks in the fall, but you can substitute other fall vegetables, like beet greens, Brussels sprouts, kale, and boiled cranberry beans.

4. Potato, Rice, and Sausage Soup
We like to serve this soup for lunch, followed by fennel salad and a piece of cheese.

5. Chocolate Meringue Pie
This pie is adapted from a lemon meringue pie recipe from the 26th edition of The Memphis Cookbook, published by the Junior League of Memphis. Elinor and all her female relatives were members at one time or another, going back generations.
