I think it is really interesting how I come up with a recipe. I look into the fridge, look at what is left over and think to myself, “How can I put this together in to something that I haven’t tried before”. Tonight, I had some left-over pork loin roast and I thought, you know that might taste good in a meat loaf.

Meatloaf is great. It is simple, affordable ingredients and when you make lots like I do, it freezes for future meals.
