I’ve been eating the same meatloaf recipe my entire life. It’s my mom’s very simple recipe that is pretty much perfect. I’ve adapted it to be a bit healthier over the years by substituting ground turkey instead of beef, but I couldn’t resist making this version when I heard it tasted like a cheeseburger. This is anything but healthy, but wow…it’s every bit as good as it sounds, and I will be making it for my family for years to come.

I watched Michael Symon make this on TV the other day (RIP The Chew) and couldn’t stop my mouth from salivating all over my computer.

I've never eaten a chicken wing in my entire life (and have no desire to do so - too labor intensive), and I am so over the cauliflower craze. That being said, I could not stop eating every. last. bite. The great thing about these is that you don't have to be vegetarian to love them (although any vegetarians in the room will be thrilled). You can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs and you've got the least gluten free-y, veggie dish I've ever tried. You would never know this was (sort of) healthy. Make for a party, nosh on it at home, or place it in front of you while watching TV. This is a crowd pleaser - even if the crowd is just you.
