Self inflicted happiness

Last week was pretty stressful at work and I carried it home each night and into this weekend. In addition I have been sloppy about making and taking lunch so have been eating lunch out ($$$) each day. Not a recipe for contentment and happiness in my book. This morning I set out to rectify the lunch situation and made a big meat loaf. It is my take on my dear momma's recipe and is real "comfort food". I just pulled it out of the oven and busted into a huge grin just looking at that baking dish full of culinary and sensory delight. It makes me happy now, and will do the same each day at lunch.

Good idea - glad you got a smile from your work. The last time I made meat loaf I dumped the mixture into my muffin pans so I could freeze them for another day. So far I have grabbed a couple to go along on a winter outing with a picnic and served them when I was too tired to cook much..

Meatloaf for the road.

Before we left Florida Ginny made a meatloaf. It's still providing meatloaf sandwiches as we drive up the east coast.

Norm, slow down! It is still freezing up here! Return to Florida!
There was a lunch spot that had a killer meatloaf sandwich that was their most popular item everyday for years....it was on US Route 1, in Southport, Connecticut. It sure beat the burgers at McDonalds. Considering what a McDonald's hamburger tastes like I often wonder how they can continue year after year selling the same substandard item and stay in business ???????

Looking fir a GOOD meatloaf recipe! Somehow, the one I've made for years doesn't seem as tasty or moist as before. Any good recipes out there?

ever searching for the "perfect" meatloaf recipe, this is my current fav:


Mini Apple-Cheddar Turkey Meatloaves Recipe | MyRecipes.com


top with shredded cheese & applebutter before baking. I know, it sounds kinda gross. but very moist & you don't need ketchup to eat it, so tasty

Thanks-it sounds great. We both love turkey meatloaf but haven't found a recipe. The apple must make it really moist��

I like the muffin tin idea and the vacuum packs-lots of new things to try. Thanks for all the ideas!
