My husband used to love all meat loaf but not after trying this one. It is now the only meat loaf that he will eat!! The preparation is just so quick and it is no problem leaving it in the fridge overnight - if my husband does not know that it is in there!! I made up a batch on Monday and put it into three mini loaf pans and one larger pan, cooked it up on Tuesday and on Wednesday, I am the Queen of Meatloaf!! I handed out the mini loaves to friends at work to rave reviews. Five Star Meatloaf!!

My favorite cookbook is the one from the 1940's that belonged to my Cuban great-aunt. The best recepies are the ones she had written in the margins & on the covers.
My favorite childhood memory is sucking on a cinnamon stick I pulled out of hot rice pudding on a rain afternoon.
