Dinner tonight was Meatloaf, one of my favorites. This recipe is moist with a wonderful flavor. You'll want to make a large loaf so there is plenty for sandwiches the next day.

Last night I served this with a salad of Romaine and Cucumber lightly dressed with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, along with Tandoori Naan Indian Bread.......

This is one of the easiest Poaching recipes I have ever tried, It's fool proof and delicious.
