It’s mini because mini things are more adorable. Therefore, you want them more. Want my meatloaf. Do it.
Guess who is back in town?! Sergio!! He’s been in training since he leaves for Afghanistan in 2 weeks. Boo. Anyways, he just got back into town after spending the weekend in Vegas. His friends surprised him with a trip there. So this is how it went down. His LA friends, who are gonna be bachelors til the day they die, lived it up and stayed out. The Colorado boys, well, they made it out until about 7pm. Way to represent Colorado men, way.to.go. Sergio on the other hand, a mix breed between a hipster in LA and meat head CO boy, went out on the town. Some things are better left unsaid. The whole point of this story though, is when Sergio got back into town from Vegas and did a workout Monday night, he puked 4 times. And dry heaved multiple times. It was hilarious. I never really thought puking was funny until Monday night.
This weekend is Sergio’s ‘See You Next Year’ party. He’s planning on getting me intoxicated on Saturday at the park. Here’s the thing. I swore off alcohol. Especially when it comes to drinking during daylight. We all know what happens when I consume alcohol during the day time. Bad things. Bad crying things.
I swear my friends aren’t alcoholics. I tend to exaggerate things. Kind of. Not really.
All I can think about is bacon lately. This is what I want to do. Put sunbutter on a stick of celery. Wrap some cooked bacon around the celery. And then eat it. It’s like grown up ants on a log. Not really, but kind of.
Pinterest is on overload with wedding jargon. I don’t even know if that’s the right word in this scenario, but it feels right. When I get home from a painful workout, and I’m lying on the floor of my living room, all I want to look at is food porn on pinterest. And it gives me wedding sh*t? Are you for real pinterest? I should be able to report those people pinning wedding day hair and pictures of their bridesmaids giggling. If I ever find a dude that’s stupid enough to marry me, I’m gonna make him cupcakes and elope. My mother will be infuriated. But I will be happy, because I have cupcakes to eat.

Buffalo Chicken Mini Meatloaf
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 30 mins
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 2-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1lb ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour or 1/2 cup almond flour/meal (I used coconut flour)
- 3–4 tablespoons hot sauce (I used Red Hot)
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 1/4 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to mix thoroughly.
- Plop mixture into two mini loaf pans OR one large loaf pan. You make the call my friend.
- Bake for 25-35 or until chicken is completely cooked through.
- I used the poke technique. Poke the meat, if it sinks in, like it’s uncooked, it probably is.
- Let cool.
- Eat.
- HOLY CRAP THAT WAS EASY!
Vegas, pukage, bad crying things and Pinterest wedding HELL and buffalo chicken mini meatloaf? I don’t know what was going on in this post, but I thought it was great. (And girl, I’m WITH YOU on the bad crying things.) 🙂 Can’t wait to try the recipe!
Ooooh you make me laugh. First of all. You must suck it up for the sake of day drinking and your friend leaving to fight for?…. Anyway! It’s my favorite time to drink. So many day drinking options. Mimoas! Bloody Mary’s!
Secondly, I can’t wait to try this! I made breakfast lasagna for dinner. Ah. Mazing. And hella easy. Thanks for being awesome!

Hmm thought I left a comment! :/ well I’m really interested in trying this recipe, but I was wondering if I could substitute anything for coconut flour or almond flour, like flaxseed meal because that’s what I have on hand.
You crack my shit up. Besides having delish droolworthy food on which make often, you just plain rock. Nuff said.
I have made this tasty delightful dish numerous times.. Do you think ground turkey would work too?
How effin’ divine is this recipe? Quick, easy and probably more fantastic than words can describe. This is probably going to be my major go to meal from now on.
Also, tell Sergio good luck and thanks.
And don’t cry. Just don’t.
i used to make this buffalo chicken dip….it was cheesy deliciousness, and one of the very few food i pine for when i see it now on someone else’s appetizer table.
this looks better.
have fun with Sergio this week. even if it means you have to day drink.
You absolutely have me ROFL every day. You rock. And I am with you on the crying drunk thing…I aim to never get to that point, but it’s happened :-/ Great recipes. I can’t start my morning until I read your blog.
I am VERY new to all of this. (like day 3 and reading everything I can find new) Are you telling me that I can use Red Hot?? I hadn’t even given it a thought until I saw this. I am a very happy girl right now! Will definately be makng this soon! Love your blog! Thank you!!!
thank you for hating weddings too. and thank you for making badass meals easiest enough for me to copy. you rock.
You crack my shit up too. No small feat. I’m curious about the photo of the mini chickloafs, they look like they have something melty and kind of crispy and maybe yummy on the top? Am I seeing things? Wishful thinking?
Lol wishful thinking. That’s just some of the fat coming to the top which happens with all meatloaf. Sorry to bust ur bubble 🙁
I am with ya…I thought it was cheeeeeeessssseeeeee, I love cheese, rrreeeeaaaallllyyyy I do (yes I do say that like that little girl mouse on the Sylvester Looney Toons)
