  1. I have not had much experience with lamb, but thought a meatloaf from lamb would be lovely, so this was something I attempted to create myself during the recipe submittal stage of the contest. I was not pleased with the results of my attempt at all and didn't have the opportunity to try experimenting any further. Needless to say, when I saw this recipe as an entry into the contest, I had to try it. It turned out to be one of the best meatloaves that DH or I have ever had! I followed the ingredients and directions exactly as posted. It was nice and firm, yet very tender, slicing very well and had excellent flavor. The following day, we had it warmed over and made sandwiches, and the day after that, we had it cold as sandwiches. We enjoyed it all three ways. I had planned to make this again for a family reunion, but I am out of ground lamb and was told at the grocer this week that lamb is only available around Easter in my area. Thank you for sharing such a lovely creation! It will definitely be amongst our repertoire of favorites and I will be stocking up on ground lamb come next Easter!
     
  2. This is certainly not homestyle in my book, this is meatloaf for company! I had two tiny problems with this recipe. The recipe does not state how large the can of diced tomatoes should be, and I used my regular size, which turned out a bit too much and made the loaf a little too "mushy", so I had to up the breadcrumbs to get it to the right consistency so I would get a good slice out of it. The recipe also doesn't call for any salt, and I found that the Worcestershire sauce did not give it enough of a salty flavor, so we found ourselves salting the loaf at the table. Aside from that, this was a superb recipe, and I look forward to making it again!
     
  3. This was very good and "the" something different I was looking for. The flavor of the curry and cayenne went well with the lamb. The meatloaf was moist and retained its shape when I sliced. The sauce was good too--a little sweet and tangy. I made sandwiches with it the next day and the flavors were even more pronounced.

<p>I live in Richardson Texas, and am thrilled to say that my short stint in the Insurance industry ended in March of 2012. After being in the Food business for my entire career, I realized that my true calling was in that arena. I returned to food sales for a short time.&nbsp; While I do love food sales, I also love to cook.&nbsp; Friends and family have always encouraged me to open my own personal chef service, and I enthusiastically did that in October of 2013!&nbsp; I have targets of busy families, empty nesters, folks coming home from rehab (the caregivers often don't cook), the over '70 crowd (the kitchen is closed!)..I go over menus with my clients and deliver to them at pre arranged times during the week. I am passionate about good food and good wine. These days, I spend all day in my kitchen, so I am inspired to cook by almost anything; if it's to feed a shut-in, to try out new recipes on the two of us, to have an impromptu dinner, it doesn't matter. My husband of 27 years and I love to entertain. To tell what my favorite cookbook is would be like asking a mother of many who is her favorite child. My favorite child (we have only one) is a feisty red head with gorgeous blue eyes. I would adore going to a cooking school in Tuscany, then Greece, then spend time in the UK, Israel, Spain, Southern France and I think that would take longer than a month off...Pet Peeves? Waiters who auction your food. (who had the chicken?)</p>
