Tired of ho-hum meatloaf? Here’s a great recipe my son and I conjured up in the kitchen tonight:
1.5 pounds ground beef (I used angus chuck)
a dozen individual wheat crackers - crushed
1 diced onion
1 diced jalapeno - yep the hot ones
1/2 red or yellow bell pepper
1 egg
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 t. Cajun Spice
1/4 t black pepper
dash of garlic powder
1/2 t. salt (or to taste)
Mix together and cook in loaf pan for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Top with additional tomato sauce or tomato catsup ( I used catsup) cook for another 15 minutes.
MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM yummy!

- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package (3 1/2oz) instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pumpkin, canned or fresh cooked and mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Preparation:
Combine eggs, sugar, and oil in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer hand-held until well blended.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt, pudding mix, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon; add to sugar mixture alternately with the mashed pumpkin, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix well after each addition. Stir in pecans or walnuts.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 9×5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove loaf to wire rack to cool completely.
I have used this recipe for years and love it. You can’t taste to coconut and I’ve left it out when I would have had to make a trip to the store.
This one is for Mr. Angry and his over grown garden with volunteer pumpkins.

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. It’s always darkest before the dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.
4. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
5. Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8 Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes!
9. If at first you don’t succeed, sky diving is not for you.

So my brother and his lady have this beautiful new home in Wolforth, near Lubbock. They are both smokers and have determined they will not smoke in the new house. So what do they do? They have a living area in the garage. Yes, it houses a car. But there is a table, chair, microwave oven, dresser (complete with makeup bag) stereo, cd player, television and last but not least a refrigerator. The magnetic sign on the refrigerator, obviously guarding the beer, says:
NO TRESPASSING:
TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT
SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN!
Must be the Kenley coming out in him.
