Meatloaf Monday’s

@Jimbo452020 sadly it used to be nightly for me as well but we don’t have a lot of privacy so we don’t get as much alone time now as years ago. Also with a small baby Im exhausted. My husband goes to bed before me then I wake him about midnight for it.

Lol

@shaggin aye I can relate to that.

@Daddyevil I hate making the same foods all the time. Luckily I have about 4 different meat loaf recipes I can switch between. When he lived alone with his son he had a few staple means he made all the time. When he cooks here it’s pretty much always the same things. While tasty I’d prefer different things. I love cheese and broccoli soup. My stepson and husband hate broccoli so I don’t make it very often. It’s my favorite vegetable. I hope pretty makes it soon. I love pasta

@shaggin While Pretty was still little, I started making a recipe book of different foods we both loved. (I'd check out cookbooks from the local library and try making different recipes from them.) If we liked it, I'd put the recipe into our notebook. There are recipes of all types in there. After she came home from college she started doing some of the cooking and would look up new recipes online to try. Some of them we liked really well, like shawarma. She likes hers in a wrap but I don't like wraps so just eat the chicken and veggies without wrapping them up first. Pretty won't eat broccoli, either. When I make something with broccoli, she makes something for herself. (Most of the time the foods she cooks I won't eat, so I dig some of the leftovers out of the freezer and heat those up for my supper.) That's the reason I always cook more than we'll eat in one sitting. I package the rest up in single serving Ziploc baggies and freeze it. She doesn't like leftovers. I get tired of cooking for every meal so have lots of different baggies of leftovers in the freezer. If she doesn't make pasta bake today, I'm going to use the thawed hamburger to see if it can be fried with cabbage and still tastes good. (I don't want it to go to waste.)

@DaddyEvil I love wraps. I have a big plastic recipe card holder that I keep all the recipes I’ve tried and really like. I’m thinking for when my daughter graduates I should get a binder that can hold recipe cards and write down her favorite recipes as well as some other really good ones she may want to cook some day. I love leftovers. Saves me from having to cook every day.

@marlina it’s my stepson and husbands favorite food. My son likes I too. Yesterday was our first official meatloaf Monday.

@marlina yep going today to get the ingredients for next Monday’s meatloaf.

@shaggin So this is official now!

@Marshamusselman yep I used a random photo since I didn’t have any from when I made meatloaf last. I’ve heard a lot of people who do taco Tuesday. We have tacos maybe once a month.

@MarshaMusselman how come just not in the mood for it? Tacos are usually something I make when I’ve run out of dinner ideas same with sloppy joes.

@shaggin we've not had Mexican in months other than frozen burritos or seven layer dip once in a while.

@JudyEv sounds smart to me. I don’t like eating the same thing every week so I guess it’s good I’m a vegetarian and won’t be eating this. The two boys and my husband love meatloaf though.

@JudyEv true. My daughter pretty much won’t eat anything I make. She’s gotten way more picky the older she’s gotten.

@shaggin It's good to know that, if you make it, they'll enjoy it. Saves a hassle.

@Courtlynn do you like it?

@Courtlynn pretty much what the recipe I use most consists of but there’s onion and brown sugar and ketchup on the top if I remember right

@shaggin the way we make it (egg, hamburg, salt, pepper, garlic salt & bread crumbs) yeah

@averygirl72 I stopped eating meat when I was 7. I remember really liking it though. It is one of the few things my mother cooks well.

@rebelann my husband looked it up and it’s worth about $250. Do you have your mom’s recipe so you can make it?

@rebelann I’m not sure if that’s why my husband looked it up or not but I told him it would go to my parents if we don’t want it and they would keep it or sell it.

Wow, that's a pretty good price, are you thinking of selling it? No, mom never really did anything with recipes, she would simply throw stuff together and it would turn out good.

@LeaPea2417 I’ve never heard of it being made in a crockpot. I’ve been making more crockpot meals as they are easily with the baby. Tonight I’m making meatloaf, sweet potato tacos and air fryer tater tots that you French in Buffalo wing sauce before cooking.

@LeaPea2417 meatloaf Monday was a hit with the guys in the house ! The sweet potato tacos are vegetarian. I am eating the leftovers of them tonight. My husband wants vegetables and didn’t want what I was going to make tonight so he is cooking. There’s not enough burners on the stove to cook what I wanted so I can’t make what I was planning too. No biggie though since I can spend more time with the baby while he cooks. Usually it’s the other way around while preparing meals.

@shaggin sweet potato tacos sound good.

@LadyDuck I am the same way. He told me about a year ago that he would be really happy if I made meatloaf once a week but until now I wouldn’t. I don’t like making or eating the same things weekly. He likes to make certain things over and over each week. Blah!

@shaggin I would hate to have the same thing every week or over and over, but if he likes, make him happy.

@rakski hopefully it will give him something to look forward to on Monday’s now.

@thelme55 the guys all loved it . I bought the ingredients for next weeks.

@shaggin That’s great. Now, they will looking forward to Meatloaf Mondays.
