Mini Meatloaf Love

Anybody else have trouble with serving size? Portion control? Self control? I can't be the only one! I just have a hard stopping eating things that taste good. Thankfully these little mini meatloaves make it super simple, you get this much and then you're done. Um unless you grab another one and maybe just one more for the road then you might be in trouble.

 My kids really enjoyed these, it made meat loaf fun, meat loaf likes to be fun. Actually we all really liked them. And they're gluten free if you happen to be gluten free. Speaking of gluten free, I have had so much less joint pain the last week being gluten free that I may just go gluten free for life. I feel so good. If you suffer from joint pain why not give it whirl? What could it hurt? Of course i am not a doctor so you should really check with one before you go off half cocked BUT going gluten free is not particularly harmful either. Take my advice with a grain of salt, if it works for you go for it.
