Why a PINK chef's coat?

Simply put, I carry my Dad's legacy with me through my cookbook, cooking and everyday I am writing my food columns, he is always with me. I carry my Mom with me through a silent reminder of her struggle with breast cancer that took her life, as well as the lives of many other women who have dealt with, and are still dealing with, this horrible affliction. Besides, why not pink? It makes a man look good!

Super Moist Baked Meatloaf

I can't remember the last time I have had meatloaf that was so moist and flavorful, sorry Mom. And I feel a little better knowing I substituted some of the meat with another protein that wasn't nearly as high in fat and calories as well. If desired, omit the pork altogether and add another can of refried beans. Or better yet, make you own with The Yankee Chefs recipe right here. Just enter Refried Beans in the search bar and click enter.

Plop into a loaf pan(no need so grease) and smooth out on top, pressing down around the sides to to make the middle higher than the edges.  Evenly distribute the chili sauce mixture over the top, covering it all over. Place on a larger baking pan with sides to catch any drippings of grease that may bubble over the sides. Bake 50-55 minutes, or until firm in the center. Remove, slice and serve hot.
