***my substitutions***
1) 1.5 lbs of a mixed trio of ground beef, pork and veal (what i had on hand)
2) I omitted the horseradish
3) 3/4 tsp of italian seasoning over oregano (couldn't find oregano in my pantry)
I went all "home and garden" with the pics but my flash was off boo! luckily I took a pic when the meat loafs just came out of the oven when the overhead light was on. And then thanks to iphoto, i was able to enhance the pic. I promise: next post, better pics.

Overall, pretty freakin amazing. the little man, the hubby and big daddy (my dad) all ate it up. The diced, white cheddar seriously makes the recipe. Bonus: leftovers! I toasted a small roll and made myself a meat loaf mini sammy for lunch the next day.
And for my weight watchers' peeps, each mini meat loaf is just 7 points.
my text looks so lonely! i'm sure i will figure this out with some more time
