I am not a stress eater. I am a stress cooker. When I’m feeling overwhelmed I head to the kitchen. My go to? Comfort food. Usually when I make meatloaf or mac-n-cheese, it’s for more than two people. Now that Justin’s in college I’ve learned to cook for two and that how this meatloaf and mac-n-cheese for two recipe was born.
Before I get into the recipe, let me tell you what’s been going on lately. First off, I’ve been feeling really unsettled since the election of our newest president DJT. There just seems to be a general feeling of unrest in the air. And whether I want to admit it or not, I AM affected by this sense of unrest that’s just hanging in the air.
On top of that, for the last four years I’ve been working as a solutions consultant for a web development company AND as a freelance marketing consultant. I started picking up more freelance work to augment my income to cover college expenses. For the last six months or so, I’ve been transitioning the part-time work to full-time.
Introducing . . . Marketing Kangaroo! I’m also co-publisher of another lifestyle website. So, yeah, things have been a little nuts.
I am finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel but this week was just TOO MUCH. Thus the desire to cook up some comfort food to help me get back to center.
Totally hit the spot! And just what I needed. And the meatloaf sandwich the next day was tasty too!
