Cubed Steak and Gravy

This was good! The meat was tender and it made a nice gravy. As it was cooking I did have to add more water as the recipe suggested I might have to. When I did this I think it took away some of the yummy gravy taste. I tasted it before I added the extra water and it was very flavorful, after the water it was still good, but not as good as before. I'd watch out for that if you like yummy gravy. 

This recipe got 3 thumbs up out of four.

Easy Homemade Meatloaf

I have misplaced my favorite meatloaf recipe and it's been so long since I'd made it I couldn't remember what all the ingredients were. So, I turned to Pinterest to see if I could find one that was just as good.

This meatloaf was not bad. It called for 1 cup breadcrumbs and all I had was Italian breadcrumbs so I used that. To be honest I didn't really like the flavor of the Italian breadcrumbs with this meatloaf, so I'd not use those again. I think all the breadcrumbs made it too firm. Next time I'd use another egg and unseasoned breadcrumbs or better yet maybe crackers instead of breadcrumbs. The recipe I lost called for crackers and the meatloaf was always moist and less firm.

This recipe received 3 thumbs up out of four. Of course, one of the Boywonders didn't like it.

I found it by searching "easy meatloaf" on Pinterest. The recipe came from a blog that I used once before. It's called EasyRecipeDepot.com and here's the link to the meatloaf recipe.
