So funny we are having meatloaf as well! I got it ready this morning and all my husband has to do is put it in the oven to cook.
what's going to be your choice for veggie?

I always put potatoes and carrots around the meatloaf and they cook with it. I boil them a little bit first so they get done while cooking with the meatloaf.
 
just baked potatoes, hollowed out and mixed in the left over 4 cheese blend from Taco's the other night. now to figure out a vegetable. (But that won'y be on MY plate!)

Just a suggestion but the vegetable I would pick would be bacon. ;)

so I'm guessing you build the loaf in a mound and not in a mold. the kids don't like cooked carrots unless I bake them in butter and sugar with cinnamon. but then who wouldn't like that? that's more like a desert!
 
what's with all the white cars?
It hides the snow better. We buy tan cars here because it hides the dirt better. California buys red cars because it hides the sunburns better.

Yes I put it in a big glass Pyrex dish shalt it a bit then put potatoes and carrots on top and around it.

and we just have snowmobiles!

This is the least we've ever had.
I've gotten 3 inches at the house.
That's it
And it's not even cold....
