Anyone else grow up eating ketchup covered meat loaf? I went to a dutch oven class yesterday and wasn't too enthusiastic when the instructor announced he was making meatloaf. He made a huge batch, expecting more people to show up for the class. So he gave us heaping portions of it to try. It was very tasty and completely tender. I ate it so quickly I hoped nobody noticed. I came home and announced to Jason that we'd be having meatloaf for dinner.
Cooking in a dutch oven is just fun. We were all outside, the kids playing (Owen got in the pool with all of his clothes and shoes on) while Jason and I carefully watched the coals and put new ones on when needed. I was nervous it wouldn't work out, since I've only cooked in a dutch oven over propane before, but it turned out great! And cooking with coals makes the backyard smell awesome, just like a campfire. It was a hit and I'm sure we'll be making it again.
I also learned how to make a very tasty blueberry cobbler. The recipe calls for a can of 7UP, which I've never used in a cobbler before. I've heard of it, but we hardly ever buy soda so I never have any lying around. It's very simple, super delicious and something you'll definitely want to try if you haven't already!
