Meatloaf
My girlfriend needed to escape the frigid Chicago winter so she took off to Miami with a few friends for a long weekend. How could I welcome her back to the Midwest? What food says forget the warm sea breezes, fresh Latin flavors, beautifully tanned bodies, and other silly things Miami has that no sensible Midwesterner needs? Meatloaf. Rich, moist, spare tire inflating meatloaf. To keep from putting her body in shock with heavy food overload I stayed away from the classic mashed potatoes and gravy and went with lighter garnishes.

I love the meatloaf presentation! Can you please elaborate on the spicy stewed tomatoes. Thanks, Anne
ReplyDeleteThe stewed tomatoes were just hand crushed canned whole tomatoes stewed with a little sauteed garlic, sauteed red onion, white wine, sriracha, and sugar to balance the acidity then finished with torn parsley.
