Monday Menu (November 9, 2009)

Ok, so I am totally a week behind... But things have been crazy.

I told Bill that since he didn't want me to make meatloaf last week, that he could make the dinner on Monday. So this is what he chose: Smoked Salmon and Corn Chowder.
It turned out really well, actually. We couldn't find any fennel bulbs here in Cedar (ok, so we looked only in two stores) and he substituted it with a leek. It had a very tasty flavor, except I think he put two too many shakes of hot sauce in the soup. It was VERY spicy!

For dessert, I made a Twinkie Tunnel Cake. I forgot to add the chocolate chips but it turned out really good. I am not a Twinkie Fan, but it was good!!

Monday Menu (November 2, 2009)

For dinner, I decided to make Bunk House Meatloaf. Granted, the kids have had meatloaf before, but the boys had not had this kind before and it has been YEARS since the girl had it.

Bunk House Meatloaf Recipe:
1 1/2 to 2 lbs lean ground beef
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal (quick oat)
3/4 cup cracker crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup ketchup plus 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
(or 1/8 cup Lea & Perrins Steak Sauce and 1/8 cup ketchup)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix all ingredients together.
Place in greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle with seasoned salt with pepper over the top.
Bake at 350° F for about 1 hour 15 minutes.

(I baked them for like 20 minutes in muffin tins.)


Even though I chopped the bell pepper really tiny, it still gave it a flavor that Nathan was not fond of - but he ate it anyway. Next time I will leave that out all together. I served the meatloaf with smashed potatoes and corn.

For dessert we had Cookie Truffles. I did not care for them much, but the kids LOVED them. We tried the Nutterbutter ones. I think I would like the Oreo ones better - maybe some other time I will make them.
