Why do I suddenly have "I would do anything for love but I won't do that" running through my head? It's a mystery.
Anyway, tonight was payback time for me. I finally got brave enough to make a meal for my culinary king neighbors. I was nervous, but it turned out great and everyone was pleased. All 6 children cleaned their plates and seemed to love the meal. I've shared the recipe on my blog before so I am just going to refer you here to find it. Tonight I used ground turkey breast instead of ground beef and it was still excellent.
With it I served garlic mash (red taters) and my signature salad. It goes like this:
Some romaine
some spinach
diced tomato
diced avocado
olive oil & balsamic vinegar - eyeball it
parmesean cheese
Toss. It's easy, breezy, beautiful.
The meatloaf is really good the next day served on a baguette, smothered with spaghetti sauce and cheese toasted under the broiler. Ohhh, I wish I had leftovers!
I found this when I was searching for an image of meatloaf. Couldn't resist...

once again, trader joe's. you know what i'm talking about. can't wait to try yours!
so that's who goes to meatloaf's concerts. YIKES!!!
yes, i'll admit it. i stole the idea from trader joes. if you are lucky enough to be in the vicinity then try theirs, it's near the pre-made sandwiches and pizza's and it's even better than mine.
Rachel, why do you prefer it in an 8x8 instead of a loaf? I usually make giant meatballs with mine.
i sometimes do meatballs also and serve with pasta, but to learn why i use the 8x8 you will have to read the footnote on the recipe itself. it's an association thing.
rach-i'm sure yours is better than trader joe's. it's fresh after all and YOU made it.
Just an FYI...Jeff is a closet Meatloaf (the band) fan.
Is Jeff really in the closet? I have distict and haunting memories of him rocking out shamelessly to Meatloaf in my adolescence.
And how trippy that you posted this at this time. Last night I was trying to decide what to make with ground beef, and I decided on meatloaf, which I hardly ever make. I was ALMOST going to call you to get your "italian meatloaf" recipe, I have heard your raves. But I bypassed you and went for an invention of my own. Sounds like it is a hit. Will definately try next time!
P.S. I saw you and Jaren making "meatloaf" references on his blog, it all makes better sense now.
les, i used this recipe in the cookbook last year. hey, we should tell all our pornstar friends about the cookbook. it's like my favorite christmas present of all time.
I make a pretty wicked meatloaf - but I'm going to give this a try - especially with the ground turkey! Sounds really great. Thanks for sharing
Roberta- I want your "wicked" recipe!
Oh ya Rachel, remember how I accidentally threw all of mine out last year? I don't think I have it in there..... :(
oh my gosh, someone else has my same legs!!!

I keep coming back to this picture. It makes me laugh every time! Are these people for real? I hope that picture was taken in 1983.
Leslie- Did you say you thew out your recipies from Grandma Janes book? Which ones do you need? Lets get them replaced!!!
Lynn- You are "Crazy" everything about you is beautiful!
