Meatloaf and Annie's mac & cheese w/peas

John left early this morning to fly down to DC for work for a conference, he comes back Wednesday evening then he is off again early Monday morning for all of next week. That leaves me alone for a lot of dinners, he asked me what I was going to blog about since I only eat pasta when he's gone. :) Hahaaaaa no I don't....
Because
Butternut squash ravioli
Pasta obbession
Dinner for one

ok, I guess he's right this time...

I proved him wrong tonight I made meatloaf for dinner! I love this meatloaf recipe, I was never a lover of meatloaf growing up I would cover it in ketchup just to eat it but, since I found this recipe I could eat a whole one by myself ;) and it's good for leftover meatloaf sandwiches. Mmmm

For a side I decided on Annie white cheddar & shells in which I added peas to get a veggie in.
