Meatloaf! Thumbs up from the kiddos!


So we as a family really like meatloaf. It's always on the menu through the fall and winter, like Eva said it's the ultimate comfort food. We typically do cheesy mashed potatoes with meatloaf and green beans but the girls have been partial to peas lately so that's what we did. This was the first Chic Chef meal that they ate every single thing! So their rating would be a full on 4 stars. I had never done oatmeal before as we usually do bread or bread crumbs. I liked the oatmeal but even though I did 2 fisfuls to the 1 suggested it still could have used a little more as I like it a little firmer. Also I really really really missed the glaze that we usually do and I must say Nikki next time you make your Moms you should do a ketchup based glaze and you'll know what I'm talking about :) That said I think what I've taken away from this recipe that we will add is the oatmeal aspect. Good job Nik!
