This was delicious!! - AND the kids asked for SECONDS which is just about the highest food compliment there is!! "Make it again!" they said! :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if the flavor and quality would change if you cook everyone's before giving it to them.
ReplyDeleteTypically, food that is not cooked ahead of freezing has a better overall flavor and quality. I would recommend not cooking it ahead.
ReplyDeleteThis was just ok. Not our favorite meatloaf, but still good.
ReplyDeleteThis time around it was just ok. The adults liked it, but the kids did't. I think they are just use to my meatloaf. Thanks for making this. We'll miss you and your food!
ReplyDeleteThis was good. We had it when my parents were in town last week.
