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!
Just marry Sergio already and get it over with! Who do you think you’re kidding here?! 😉
Added this to my meal plan for August. Can’t wait to try it!
I have added this to my meal plan for tonight. This is right up my alley! Thanks lady.
Hi! I love your writing style! I hope if I look at this website enough I’ll actually get around to trying one of your recipes. ha. Anywho, have you heard of andrew Scrivani? If not, check. him. out. Food porn extraordinaire. Peace. http://andrewscrivani.com
Last time I made a chicken meat loaf it was dry, because chicken scares me and I over cooked it. Alas, this looks too good to pass up and I’ll just have to try, try again! 🙂 Thanks for all the awesome recipes!
dude. eloping is the way to go. it’s way cheaper than a wedding. if people want to b**** and moan about a party, they can throw a party for y’all when you get back. plus, you can have cake and not have it necessarily ordered as ‘wedding cake’ and you’ll save a bunch of money. true story. attach anything ‘wedding’ to ANYTHING and it costs more.
this meatloaf looks super yummy.
yet another to add to the “hafta make it” list, which is growing by leaps and bounds. and, thank you for sharing your celery-peanut butter-bacon fantasy. one of my faves as a kid were peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. since i’m not doing bread, i couldn’t think of a way to dothe peanut butter and bacon thing, short of just dipping the bacon right into the jar, and my family does not like it when i do that. now i know what to do…
If I can stop laughing long enough, I am totally making this recipe. Also, day drinking is the way to go. It’s so much fun to drink the hard stuff with the sun up and plan the night drinking that follows. Be careful! Have fun!
Love your writing & recipes Juli…& as someone who has had 2 weddings (one that was legal & one that apparently was fake?) just take whoever you wanna marry for a Vegas weekend…much more fun! Looks like 5 of us are in for the PaleOMG Recipe Swap! Featuring your recipes! Keep em coming!
PaleERMERGHERD! I’m not a big meatloaf fan (the dude or the food) but this looks like something I’d lovee to try. I’m getting sick of eggs so this would be a good breakfast. Thanks, chick!
This was awesome! Even my picky 8 yr old asked for seconds. We kept the celery out and had it on the side–didn’t feel like fighting with the kiddos over it. We also doubled the recipe cuz we are such carnivores. I am thinking next time to form the mixture into patties and browning them up in some coconut oil….Thanks for all your scrumtious recipes!
