5 Ingredient Meatloaf

Oh my gosh.....I think spring is on the horizon! 

We celebrated with a trip to the sanctuary on Sunday.  Kellen thought it was amazing and it was so fun to watch him smile ear to ear. Here are a few pictures of our outing:


Following our busy afternoon a comforting meal was needed.  Ron and I love meatloaf and love putting together new recipes. I had heard of using Stove Top in meatloaf before, but wanted to create my own spin.  We do not normally use Stove Top, but the flavors worked fantastic for a quick meatloaf recipe. In addition to the stuffing mix, we used eggs and ketchup. The meatloaf was delicious  and the glaze was perfect sweetness.  Kellen also enjoyed the meal, but I think the peas were his favorite! Ron declared that this was his favorite meatloaf we had made so far. This is a pretty big deal since it beat his favorite blue cheese and bacon meatloaf! 

Happy April everyone!
