We made delicious Mexican eggs this morning, thanks to Lauren for the inspiration!

You can serve it on tortillas or not, top with sliced avocado, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Hot sauce (cholula) optional!

Due Date Meat Loaf

Today is Maggie's due date. She didn't seem to want to be born today, so Mike and I decided to cook some more stuff to freeze for later (thanks Lara and Tito for the freezer!). We made a huge batch of meatballs and mini-meatloaves. Here is the meatloaf recipe:

Due Date Meat Loaves
Mix:
1 lb. mixed ground pork and beef
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup cheese (I mixed parm, shredded cheddar, and shredded mozzarella)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Gently Saute:
1 small yellow onion
2 T fresh thyme
Let the onion mixture cool slightly, then add:
3 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 T tomato paste
1/4 cup stock
Add the onion mixture to the meat mixture and gently combine.


Shape the mixture into small loaves, about 3 inches long, 2 inches wide, and an inch tall.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup over each loaf.
Bake on a wire rack in a baking tray at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until the loaves reach an internal temp. of 155-160 degrees F.


Serve with extra grated cheese, delicious!
