BIZZY BAKES

I decided to make meat loaf muffins.  I have done this before and stuffed them with mashed potatoes.  This goes along with my liking to make miniatures. I made these sweet and sour as a slight twist to how I have made them, in the past.  He loved them and praise came unsolicited.   I must make meat loaf more often.
