About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

Western National Park Lodges Cookbook

By Kathleen Bryant
Northland - 2007

We had this dish in Paradise Lodge in Mount Ranier National Park. It tasted better in the Lodge than when I cooked it. It only has eggs and vegetables, no starch for a binder. The size of the dish was not specified, so I put it in my usual loaf pan. It took much longer than specified to cook. My second mistake was to poor off "the fat" to see if that would help it cook faster, when I saw yellow going down the drain, I realized I had poured off the binder, the result was grainy, but my family really enjoyed it, especially with the sauce. When I repeat this recipe I will probably cut it in half and only use one pound of bison (high cost of bison) to feed four. I plan to cook individual meatloaves, that should help the cooking it all the way through problem.
