Meatloaf is a huge fave of my folks (my fave octogenarians, I call them) and especially when fall rolls around. But it always seems like there are two issues with meatloaf. The first? Even though we have an absolute fave, this Cook’s Illustrated Meatloaf, there’s no doubt sometimes you need a change-up from the classic! This Mexican Meatloaf with Honey Chipotle Glaze is a def upgrade…still familiar, still meatloaf, but popping with fun flavor!

I’m sitting in what seems to be the red meat capital of the world, folks. Right smack dab in the Midwest. At my folk’s in a small town outside of Sioux Falls. (We even went to see bull riding last winter!) So it might be considered a bit of a stretch to serve my fave octogenarians a chicken burger. And Thai Chicken Burgers, no less!

I love cooking for my folks – my “victims” I call them coz they get the brunt of all my cooking experiments. You’d think at their ages (late 80s early 90s) they’d be jaded about food so I love it when their eyes light up and I hear little happy noises when they eat. It all happened with these Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Stuffed Mushrooms – and I joined right in.

Technically the name is Arancini di Riso. It sounds a little romantic for Arancini Stuffed Risotto Balls, doesn’t it? Especially since they are so often made from leftovers!
Arancini Stuffed Breaded and Fried Risotto Balls – it appears this batch didn’t use standard mozzarella!
These pretty little meatballs with a bit of a Korean kick & a sweet/spicy glaze are just fun, fun, fun. They’d also be great for game day or an appetizer at any party – but can I just mention the Super Bowl?! It’s coming right up, and you’ll want Spicy Korean Meatballs. Even if you don’t know you do, yet, you’re gonna want them! And not just for your Super Bowl Party – once you make them, you’re gonna want them all the time!
