  4. I've never made a meatloaf before so TFS. I might have to try and join you on this next month I have just seen a lovely recipe for lemon chicken with noodles that fits the bill but will have to try out first.
    Your blog candy arrived today - thank you so much it was very generous and the card is great - sums me up lots :0)
    Current favourite is the chicken and rice but I'll check back later when the others are on. Enjoy the weekend and well done x

  5. These meatloaves looks delicious! I like the addition of the oats & the salsa - will definitely be trying this one. I'm not sure I can pick just one recipe I'll be trying because they all sound good. It's a toss up whether I'll try the meatloaf or the Mexian lasagna first, and then of course that great sausage & black bean soup for the next rainy gray day.
