IN THE KITCHEN WITH: Tanya Waxler

River Club resident Tanya Waxler, a Realtor, simply loves to cook. Her son, Levi, now is on a high-fiber diet, so Waxler has found a creative and tasty way to make meatloaf healthier.

“Levi likes this meatloaf because there is no garlic or onions in it, and it is sweet,” Tanya says.
