She acted interested in our dinner, so we thought we might try meatloaf for a first meal. After all, she's
almost 4 months old (adjusted). How dare she turn her nose up at my cooking! Just kidding. We really needed a spot to put Juliet while we placed Jude in his new booster seat at the table and she seemed pretty comfortable at the high chair:
Speaking of meat loaf - it's never really been one of my favorite dishes. I mean who really likes to muck around in chopped meat, mixing it up with various condiments, etc.? Not me. Until I met Barefoot Contessa's cookbook. I have added her to my list of platonic crushes. Ok, it's really only her and Amy Butler, but who's counting. I tried her Turkey Meatloaf recipe and it's great. No, it's wonderful. Also? Her Banana Crunch Muffins. To die for. Here's what mine turned out like:
I just don't want you to think that ALL my cooking turns out terrible. There are those off times that it tastes
and looks good.
Here's the cookbook everyone should own - the recipes are tried hundreds, if not thousands, of times. The ingredients are simple and accessible. She has catered all these recipes and you can tell. Costco is carrying it right now - don't pass it up!

i love ina too! (and amy butler, but who doesn't!)
you're sweet girl is making me want another baby! (not that the boys aren't just as adorable but you know the feeling!)
I'm not sure how she has you bake the meatloaf, but if you put them in muffin cups and bake them that way, then you only have to bake them for 30 min (tops) and then they all have that crunchy edge which is the best part anyway! I top mine with ketchup before I bake them...and the kids love their little meatloaf muffins. :) YUM!
