Meatloaf

Today was the first day of school for most of the kiddo's in the area to return to school.  Such was the case at Ray's school as well.  So, in honor of the first day of school, I decided last night to cook him a fabulous dinner.  I cooked some fresh purple hull peas and cornbread, mac & cheese (with homemade sauce - not the box kind) and meatloaf.  This was my first attempt at meatloaf.  It was delicious.  I have determined after searching no less than 300 recipes and talking to some of my great cook friends that meatloaf is somewhat of a moving target.  The basics are some ground beef, egg, onion and and breadcrumbs.  You can use tomato paste, ketchup or blended tomatoes for the tomato flavor and just about any kind of spice in your cabinet will work.  I am excited about my next meatloaf attempt.  I think it be great depending on what you are in the mood to taste!

Some of the best ingriedients that I want to try are some chili powder, red pepper, bell peppers, fajita seasoning and dry ranch seasoning.  So for now.....I'm off to clean the kitchen and hit the hay!
