Monday Night Meatloaf Marathon


As a full time worker, I am all about easy prepare-ahead meals.  I make this meatloaf 
recipe 4 or 5 times a year.  It is really delicious and moist because it 
has grated carrots, celery and cheese.


 Tonight I baked the recipe in a muffin tin.  


 

I did this once before and served them with a scoop of mashed potato on top--really cute, 
looked like frosted cupcakes!! 

I originally posted this recipe for meatloaf back in April of 2012, when I first  started 
blogging with an Alphabet challenge for the month of April. 
Click here for that link, if you want to try this recipe. 

This meatloaf recipe is delicious hot or cold.  When I bake it as a large loaf, I slice the 
cold leftovers for sandwiches as well.   

We`ll re-heat some of these for supper tomorrow night with baked potatoes and 
steamed broccoli, and will surely enjoy the remainder for lunches throughout the week.  
These actually freeze well too.

Well, you know, we had to taste test at least one.  Yummy!!

Cheers

Freezing rain and a crackling fire

What a difference a day makes!  It is absolutely terrible outside today.  

High winds and freezing rain beating against the windows....

The windows on the front of our house are totally covered in a even layer 
of pebbly ice.  It's days like this that remind me that we do live on a large rock
in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.....and it is January after-all.

Nothing to do but get hubby to light a nice fire in the fireplace 
and brew up a big mug of peppermint tea!!



(Notice that awesome mug-----quickly became my new "all time favorite", 
from our precious little granddaughter for Christmas.) 

Cheers

Snow Globe Day

It has been snowing all day.  It's lovely though....no wind. 
I went outside and took a walk around the yard. It looks just like a snow globe ...



Cheers
