Pizza Meatloaf
4 lbs of meat.  (I used 2lbs of beef, 1lb of pork and 1lb of turkey.)
3 eggs room temperature
½ onion grated 
1 ½ to 2 cups of mozzarella cheese or whatever you like freshly grated.
1-2 tsp oregano to taste
1-2 tsp crazy salt to taste
1-2 tsp Lawry’s seasoned pepper to taste
1-2 tsp black pepper to taste
1-2 cloves of garlic minced
½ cup bread crumbs if desired (I don’t usually use a binder in my meatloaf.)
Mix until just mixed.  Do not overmix, it makes it tough. 
Spread evenly in a foil lined baking sheet 
Spread your favorite pizza sauce all over the top of the meatloaf
Sprinkle with pepperoni, cooked sausage, jalapeno or whatever your favorite pizza toppings are. 
Roll from the short end into a loaf.  
Cover with pizza sauce. 
Cook for about an hour at 375 until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. 

Hasselback Potatoes 
Laydown two wooden spoons on each side of the potatoes and slice the potatoes about ½ inch slices, so you don’t slice all the way through.  I use Yukon Golds. Drizzle with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and cook in the oven about an hour until fork tender. 

Spinach Salad with hot bacon dressing
½  lb bacon
½ onion diced 
1-2 cups mushrooms
6-8 cups fresh spinach
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2-3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3 hard boiled eggs sliced
1 avocado diced
1 -2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
1 can mandarin oranges drained
1 bag sweet and spicy pecans from Trader Joes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook Bacon and reserve the bacon fat in a dish. 
Sauté onion and mushrooms until soft in the same pan you cooked the bacon. Remove from the pan. 
Add about 3 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat back to the pan, add red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, juice of a lemon and mix.  This is your dressing. If you like more dressing you can add more of the ingredients.  
When ready to serve, toss the fresh spinach with all the ingredients and enjoy!
