Meatloaf

I actually don't care much for meatloaf, never have.  But, this recipe below is the by far the easiest meal ever, plus, it's the first meatloaf I could eat without gagging.  It's from my mom, she swears it's the same recipe she's used forever and I swear her meatloaf growing up had some sort of tomato base to it.  As usual, she is probably right as I was a bit of a drama queen when it came to eating so I probably made it out to be something awful without even trying it.

2 lbs ground beef
1 (12oz) can evaporated milk
1 packet Onion Soup mix

Squish it all together until all the liquid is soaked up.  Pour it into a loaf dish (no need to grease it) and pop it in the oven at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The drippings left over when done make a mean gravy if you add a little cornstarch/water mixture.

Addicting Popcorn

I had this at a Christmas party last month and was pleasantly surprised because I was just grabbing a handful of plain popcorn. 

1 bag of almond bark
1 large bag old dutch popcorn

Melt the whole thing of almond bark in the microwave (like 3 min)
Dump the bag of old dutch into an empty grocery paper bag
Pour the melted almond bark into the bag and shake like crazy.
Once it's all coated, spread it out on some wax paper until it's dry.

That's it.  Easy and delicious!
