Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.

I just made this and can't wait. It is in the oven now. I just love your channel. I am 76 and single so being able to make a variety of things is priceless. Thank you.

Just found your channel and can't wait to give some of your recipes a try. I'm single and appreciate the fact that you have recipes that are already broken down for smaller amounts. I'm like you, I enjoy leftovers but can only eat them for a day or so before I want to move on to other dishes. Thank you.

My entire family love your meatloaf recipe!! We are a family of 3, needed a recipe for a smaller portion. My picky toddler cleared up her plate and asked for more! Thank you.

I use oats in place of bread or crackers.

Rolled oats work well in place of breadcrumbs.

I made a small meatloaf and used cream of mushroom soup in it (no water just the soup). I went mostly by your recipe but left out the ketchup. I smeared the mushroom soup all over the top of it also before it went in the oven. It was delish.

Another winner Leigh Anne! Thanks so much. I am glad I found your website/youtube site since there is only hubby and myself. Well, there's the furbaby dog but she doesn't really get a full serving 😂

[Naltddesha]

I’m so glad I found your video- I’ve got 90/10 ground beef, AND I needed a 1lb recipe for it. AND I was wondering about adding a bit of mayo to the meat mix, which no one else that I’ve seen has mentioned, besides your video. I’m about to give this recipe a shot- thanks!

[dianetellez]

I ALSO MADE YOUR RECIPE AND IT WAS SO DELICIOUS 😋 Thank U was searching for Ideas from all recipes I picked yours and I will make it again soon we loved it so DELICIOUS

[jrubybowman]

Hi Leigh Anne - I don't understand - in the description you write "egg or mayo" but in the video you use both - can you please clarify?

[nonamenoname]

I put my meatloaves in muffin tins. It one serving and you can freeze the others.

Meatloaf dose have a tendency of being dry. Using pork will help. Soaking bread in miilk makes it real moist. I also bread and milk combo with my meatballs. They are Fall Apart Tender

My Persian girlfriend
. Doesn’t like mayonnaise but I still think your recipe is delicious! So I

My mom always used oatmeal (usually quick cook) instead of bread crumbs in meatloaf! And it’s what I use! We Both also used a lot of seasonings but no salt because I am on dialysis and have to limit my sodium intake! (My kidneys failed as a child)

One pound of meat is more like 4 servings, isn’t it?
