allocation Meals Under 10 Dollars - Flaky Meat Loaf

My mother was a German emigre from the Frankfurt region of Germany. She came to the United States as a young woman and in quick order had two children and a broken marriage. My mother came from the time after Wwii when woman were still judged and premium by their homemaking skills. How is their cooking? Can they keep up the house? Will they be able to carry on the household budget? These old-fashioned ideas seem so outer space to most people of today. Circumstances forced my mother to work outside the home all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. She remarried a man that loved her home cooking and he deemed it indispensable that we should all sit down to a home cooked meal as often as we could. My mother would get home from work and almost immediately begin to whip up some breathtaking dish. 

These food creating times all the time allowed us both to talk about our day and catch up with what was going on in the world. I am sure this is where my love for all manner of food and drink originated. One of my popular recipes was this economical, simple, and super moist method that I named Flaky Meat Loaf due to the corn flakes my mother all the time used. You can make this method for under easily. Most of the ingredients should already be in your refrigerator or pantry. Added bonuses from this method are the lean ground beef, low calorie count (240), vegetables, and loads of fiber from the corn flakes.
