Paula Deens, BBQ Meat Loaf

This recipe is interesting because my friend Shar made it for her family and She said it wasn't very good and that none of them liked it. I Made this for my family and they LOVED it! Jake said it was a definate make again and Ashley my picky one even loved it. I think everyone has a different idea of what their meatloaf should be like :)

Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

This was a really good recipe. The only thing was that 1.5 cups of choc chips seemed like too much to me and Jake, It made the chocolate over power the pumpkin flavor but it was yummy and if I ever make it again I'll do less CChips :) Also, I seperated this batter into two loaf pans, My one loaf pan wasn't big enough to hold the batter :)
