Meat Loaf Recipe

This easy meat loaf recipe is one that I got from a friend while at my second job. She got it from her neighbour. Sunita, thanks for this great recipe. Whenever I make this meat loaf, I think of you! You can serve this meat loaf with some salad if you wish but then most often I end up making meat loaf sandwiches so it works as a good sandwich spread. Meat loaf sandwiches with mayonnaise are pretty popular around here. Good to pack for school tiffin and makes a filling snack after playtime.

Mayonnaise Recipe

My sandwiches must have butter or mayonnaise. I simply cannot think of a decent sandwich without mayonnaise or butter. It really enhances the taste of the sandwich. I love mayonnaise but then it must have have a lot of calories judging from the ingredients but one can indulge once in a while. I am sure it is better than replacing it for butter for a sandwich if you are watching those calories. This recipe is from my Sumeet mixer cum grinder recipe book. It works well and I have made it several times over the years. If refrigerated, it could last for about a week or so if you make sure no water comes in contact during the process. But if you would like to have mayonnaise in your fridge all the time, then you can opt for American Garden's mayonnaise. I swear by it; it's the best store-bought one I have found among those that I tried. Mayonnaise can be used to make Russian salad which can also be used as a canape filling. Then it can be used as a sandwich spread and in chicken rolls. I will be showing you how to make chicken rolls some time soon. Till then you can master the art of making homemade mayonnaise.
