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 don’t have any hot sauce on hand. Do I need to substitute something for it? If so, what are some options?
Hi,
If I want to use regular flour (I know, sorry) what does that translate too? Same amount, less, etc?
Thanks!! Looks amaizng
i honestly have no clue. i’ve never used regular flour
I made this today, as meat muffins. I took my finger and pushed a little whole in the middle and dropped in some Gorgonzola cheese. I am just transitioning to Primal style eating – and this recipe is an instant “cook in bulk for lunches” hit! Nom nom.
I made this tonight with turkey instead of chicken. The flavor was great but it was really dry. The turkey substitution was the only change I made. Any suggestions?
This was easy to make and delish even my picky teenage son enjoyed this. I am use to a sauce on top of meatloaf so I mixed some hot sauce with organic kechup and put a layer on top towards the end.
My only regret is not finding this recipe sooner! Adding this to my biweekly rotation. Drooling on keyboard as I type this review. Amazing. Thanks, Juli!
Non paleo husband approved!!
Ok, so a little late to the party on this one, but I just made this tonight with a small tweak. I made the meatloaf mix as described, but divided it up into 24 mini muffins. Ok, ok, and I also put some blue cheese crumbles on top before I shoved them into the oven. Ah-frickin-mazing! They came out so good that me and the paleo-skeptic husband snarfed the whole damn batch for dinner. And he requested it be put on the repeat list. Often. Score! Thanks for an awesome recipe! =)
Oh, so good! It would be fun to do this in muffin cups – then I could take a couple to work for lunch. Didn’t have celery, so I used diced bell peppers.
How hot is this recipe? Want to try to make it but for little kids wanted to make sure wasn’t too spicy?? Thanks!
