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 made this tonight for dinner. It absolutely ROCKED!!!!
thank you thank you thank you. You just gave me the only reason I’ve ever had to purchase ground chicken 🙂
Just made this with whatever leftover ground meat was available (about 4/5 turkey and 1/5 pork sausage), kept an eye on it, and YUM. Do I really have to save some for breakfast?
Made this and loved it!!!! Thanks for another great one!
This recipe is outstanding. I made a double batch for my lunches this week and snuck it in for dinner again tonight. It’s so good.
Another winner! So far all my meals this week are courtesy of you!
My husband said that was really good. I cooked it a bit too long since I doubled it and never cook meatloaf long enough so it was a bit dry. Very tasty though!
I’ve made this in meatloaf form a couple of times, making my own ground chicken in the food processor (SO much cheaper than buying already ground at the store). I think it’s better when the proportion of thighs is higher than breasts – a bit less dry that way.
I’m going to make these in meatball form this weekend for an event where I want to make sure there is food that I can eat. They are likely going to be sitting in a crockpot for a few hours on the platter table – any suggestions for sauces?
Making this tonight. Sound so yum.
Julie, is this real life? I made this tonight and we all drooled over it. Thanks for the kick ass recipes! You are awesome. Looking forward to your COOKBOOOK! WOO!
