A few weeks ago I was charged with making meatloaf for my church's Wednesday Night Dinner... enough to feed 25-30 people.  In my home, my peeps like a SLAB of meatloaf.  Not a wimpy slice.  So how to figure out how many loaves to make since I'm not a good judge of how far meatloaf will go? ;-) Enter my cupcake pan. What better way … [Read more...]
