Recipe Swap & Share

For the past few days, I've been participating in an online study that has really made me think about the way I welcome people into my home. It's not to late to join in if you'd like... it will be easy to catch up.

Today, I'm participating in a linky party where we share a favorite recipe we like to make when company's coming. 

so here goes

A few years ago, I watched Paula Deen make a meatloaf that seemed out of this world yummy, and I couldn't wait to give it a try.  I've made it numerous times since and it's now a favorite I share with friends and family when they come to visit.  

It's delicious y'all!  

I'll give credit where credit is due ":o)  Thank you Food Network!
