I have always hated meatloaf, but my guy brags about his moms cooking, especially her meatloaf, so I decided to attempt it for him. In the 3 years I've been cooking for him, this was the first time he's ever said "Just like my mom made!" I'm now a meatloaf fan also, guess I've just never had a good one before. This recipe was perfect as is, I wouldn't alter it a bit. Mashed potatoes with beef gravy and green beans made it a delicious classic home cooked meal!

MMM, hummus! I got sick of buying those tiny tubs for large prices. Home made is where it's at! So far, I have only used dried garbanzo beans, which take forever to soak and cook. The first time, I didn't cook them long enough and the hummus turned out grainy and chunky, yuck. The second time was perfect! I added roasted garlic, and had a huge batch of home cooked hummus for about...$2-$3? With baby carrots and pita bread, it was a delicious and healthy snack. I am trying it next time with canned beans to determine if the easier way tastes just as good. Either way, this recipe is the keeper for me!

I too put this a 9x9 pan, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. It was indeed a very good coffee cake, but similar to many I've made. I tried it again with blueberries, that perked it up a bit. I made one years ago that was THE BEST EVER, which I can't find the recipe for. This was not the mother of all coffee cakes, so I will still be testing out others.
