This is my favorite meatloaf Meatloaf: 1½ lbs ground beef (20% fat) ½ lb ground pork 2 eggs ½ cup milk 1 tsp onion powder ½ tsp celery salt ½ tsp ground black pepper ½ tsp garlic powder 1 tsp ground mustard 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce ¼ tsp dried thyme, crumbled ¼ tsp rubbed sage 1 tsp salt 2 medium carrots, shredded fine (or process in food processor until resembles breadcrumbs) 1 cup dried breadcrumbs (plain) Sauce for Topping: ½ cup tomato catsup 2 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard Pinch (or more, depending on your taste for spice!) cayenne pepper 3 slices cooked bacon (cooked through, but still limp, not cooked crisp) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crumble beef and pork in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the next 11 ingredients and mix well with a fork so that eggs and milk are thoroughly combined with spices. Add the egg mixture to the meat and mix gently with a fork to disperse the egg mixture into the meat. Add the breadcrumbs and carrots and combine all ingredients thoroughly -- your hands are the best tool for this job! Once the meatloaf mixture is combined, shape it into a loaf in a 9 x 13 inch shallow baking pan. Shape the loaf with your hands to resemble a loaf of bread, but do not let the meat touch the sides of the pan (this will allow the meatloaf to brown beautifully on all sides and will give the fat space to drain away from the meat). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through (165 degrees). |

I try to sway friends away from eating after a breakup. However if you do have to, the way we have all had to binge through our emotions. i love haagen daz, chocolate chip cookie dough or cookies and cream. pepperoni pizza combos,spagettini and meat with sauce with melted american cheese and ranch dressing on the side. Yummy! However we should try to avoind the break binge or hit the gym during the binge. |


What are the most comforting breakup foods? Candy, chocolate, ice cream, any sweets? Or, better yet, what type of meals do you prefer to eat after a big breakup? Do you head straight for the carbs, or look for healthy meals with lots of vegetables because you want to lose all of the weight you gained during your two year relationship?
