Don - keep cooking like this....It will be a great incentive for her to continue getting better - so she can chase you down and take that plate away from you! I love this recipe. Gonna make the onion stacks for sure.

And they give me some ideas for other dishes.....

Thanks all for the well wishes for my wife! Here is my Monday night supper from the leftover meat loaf. Toasted cheese roll, meatloaf, one of the balsamic onions topped with mozzarella. Hard to eat but was good! Smokin Don

I think that actually beats the meatloaf first cook. I can taste that cheese!

First I'm glad to hear your wife is doing good and recovering.  Looks like I'm about to go through the same with one knee  :(     

Now for the meatloaf you nailed it!   The onions look very good as well.

Sept 16 2013

It was a busy day today, a trip to Walmart to get some mashed potatoes and new handle grips for the grandson’s bicycle. Then it was shave and shower then off to see my wife at lunch time. I then had a little nap, and put new sugar water out for my hummers, and back to see the wife at supper time.

I left at 5:00 and had time to set out back awhile before fixing supper. I have had 3 young hummers that are hanging on before they head south. The evening sun was good so I got my camera out and shot over 70 shots of the humming birds. I saved about 25 of those and will probably end up with 4 or 5 keepers. I will post as soon as I have time.

This is my third meal with the meatloaf. I nuked some Bob Evens mashed potatoes, boiled some thin sliced carrots in a little water until gone then added a couple pats of butter and sautéed, made some brown gravy with Pioneer brand brown gravy mix, toasted a cheese roll, heated up a slice of meatloaf and served it up.

It tasted great! It didn’t seem like I ate meatloaf 3 days in a row but had 3 tasty meals that were better than I could get at a restaurant, and two of the meals were quick and easy!

The daughter in law and grandson stopped in, she put his new handle grips on. Their dog and mine had a good time playing. They went home and I was tired so went to bed without doing the dishes. I miss my dishwasher; she never went to bed with dirty dishes setting around! She is doing well and will be back to walking normal soon! I won’t tell her I let the dishes set!

I slept for 4 hours and up for a few at twelve so had time to post this. I will be back in bed by 3:00 and another 5 or six hours sleep.

Happy to hear your wife is recuperating and doing well. Don, I have been impressed (and envious) of all three of these meals from that one meatloaf. This thread has been very inspiring. I need to get busy and do this.
By the way, for those of you who aren't big on meatloaf, you really need to throw one in your smoker... adding a nice hint of smoke to it totally changes its' taste/character, etc..  Try it, You'll like it! Don
