Not Your Mother's Meat Loaf

1 lb Meat (ground beef or use ground turkey if you are wanting to be healthy.  I double the recipe and use a pound of each)
1 c cubed cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1 onion chopped (use a small onion and a large one if doubling)
1/2 of a Green Pepper chopped
1 tsp of Salt
1 tsp of Pepper
1 tsp of Celery Salt (I use garlic instead)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 c bread crumbs (I love to use crunched Ritz crackers)

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Put it all into a bread pan (2 bread pans if making a double batch) and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr. YUM!

* I got this recipe from my sister Kari. I never liked meat loaf much until I had this at her house once. It is very good!

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

4 Chicken Breasts Cooked and shredded or cut into small pieces
(you can also just buy a rotisserie chicken that is already cooked at the store and shred the meat from that)
5 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 quarts water
1 tsp. Basil
4 tsp. Chicken bouillon
2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
Frozen noodles (Grandma's or Reames home style egg noodles)

Boil vegetables, water an bouillon for about 15-20 minutes. Add chicken soup, basil, chicken and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, then add 1/2 package noodles (defrosted). Boil for 20 minutes or until noodles are cooked.
