World's Best Meatloaf

Not humble about this one. I make FANTASTIC meatloaf! Wednesday at my casa is often Meatloaf Night as the local Fresh Market has a weekly $2.99/pound fresh ground chuck deal. No bread crumbs as I have discovered that you do not need 'a binder'. My husbands favorite meal!

Salad with lettuce, tomato, olives, green onions, and a sliced boiled egg topped with orange dressing.

Ruby French Dressing

Tastes like the popular stuff from the 1970's. Make a jar to keep in the fridge. I love this dressing drizzled over my grilled burger plate.

What is Your 'Go To' Meal?

My Go To Meal is a Two Egg Spinach Omelets - sometimes I paint them with sriracha hot sauce, sometimes I fill them with ricotta, sometimes BOTH. Today I was out of sriracha! What is YOUR Go To Meal?
