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!
Made this last night and it was a hit! I love heat so I doubled the amount of red hot, it was great. Will be making this again!
Made this yesterday with turkey because I couldn’t find ground chicken. It was absolutely delicious. Might double the hot sauce next time!
I loved the taste of these but not really the consistency. I think the ground chicken I bought was too pastey or something. I’ll have to either try making my own next time or find a different brand but I can totally see these made into little meatballs! Might have to attempt these again for superbowl!
Made them into burgers and grilled them for the superbowl tonight. Came out great! Doubled the recipe and put in a bunch of extra red hot.
I made this last night for my lunch today. I bought some ground chicken thigh meat at the store (was very excited to have that option). So good! Gave my coworker a taste and she said she wanted to eat at my house from now on. Thanks so much for creating/sharing this recipe!!
Thank you Juli. I made this meatloaf tonight because I had all the ingredients on hand. So yummy.
Just the right spice with a yummy crunch.
Just made this tonight for my boyfriend and I! First paleo recipe I’ve tried and it was AMAZING! Juli you are absolutely inspiring and I can’t wait to make more of your recipes!!
Yea! All around hit, used 5 tablespoons of Franks and probably could have used more. I did saute the onions and celery before adding them so they were a bit softer (I hate onions) but the whole thing was great! Even mother-in-law ate all of it!
Made this recipe last night and it was awesome! My 19 month old son loved it!
