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!
I used to base my judgements on how good a restaurant was based on the quality of their buffalo chicken tenders so, needless to say, I am pretty pumped about this one! Thanks!
Sounds good, but I’ll have to make them as balls. Easier to freeze and use that way.
Made this tonight, it was awesome! Will definitely be making this routinely, my fiance will love it.
Made this evening with the intention of freezing half for later in the week. Those plans went south when I caught my husband eating the other half directly from the pan in the kitchen. Great stuff! Thanks!
This sounds bad ass! I literally just wrote down “buffalo chicken” because it sounded like a menu must. I made buffalo chicken meatballs but this sounds great, I love the addition of celery.
Made this last night and it was awesome!
Yummeriffic!
Hi. I’m joining CrossFit next week. Maybe I can get in shape and be your man one day!
I made this a few days ago as the one big loaf, pretty damn good! I’ve since had the leftovers each day for lunch at work by warming up a slice throwing it on a salad and adding the ranch paleo dressing from Well Fed. Highly recommend! Also, not sure about the Wal-Marts out west, but the one here in Va Beach sells free range ground chicken, usually a buck or two cheaper than Trader Joe’s or the higher end grocery stores — no Whole Foods in VB yet 🙁 I’ve also found coconut oil, sun butter and Enjoy Life chips at Wal-mart for much cheaper.
This was great I would just add more hot sauce! Maybe another tablespoon? My personal preference.
