I've never watched anyone prepare a meal in a tiny house kitchen. The functionality of your tiny space is VERY impresive!! I've seen 2000 sqfoot houses with worse kitchens!! Nice place!!!
From this meatloaf loving lady who has made probably thousands of meatloafs, of every variety, over the last 50 years of cooking that looks like a winner to me!
WoW...As a retired Production Chef of 33 years as of November 15, 2007, I found your meatloaf to be flawless and does deserve a few awards or is at least deserving of a few..hint hint...Being a Chef, when doing 100 to 150 lbs of onions at one time with a Hobart shredder, one will quickly learn to keep one's mouth shut, never opening the mouth once and never shedding one tear. The tear ducks are attacked mainly through the opening of one's mouth, not the eyes or nose as some wives tales have been spread. I am not being negative to your accomplishment of a superb looking dish, just trying to save you some tears in the future when doing onions. I guess you will have to cry when cutting onions on video though. It is very hard to keep ones mouth shut when teaching someone something. A good idea when doing onions though...lol...Take care, hope to see more. You are obviously very talented...
Much like you, I LOVE onions. To get around the tears, I put on my swimming goggles. I know I look dorky with them while cutting up onions, but I don't shed one tear! :)
When I was a kid I worked at a sandwich shop, "Mr.Submarine". I would slice up at least 20 large onions at a time. The trick to not crying is not to breath it in through your nose. So if you wore small nose plugs, you can put your face right next to the sliced onions and you won't cry at all. Your goggles must have covered your nose.
I was so amazing when I saw what you put on top of your mini meatloaf's. This is what my grandmother always used and I still use. Everyone loves my meatloaf, especially my husband.
Welcome to the channel! Thank you, I do indeed live here. You can find another 130 something videos you might like about my life here on the channel too! :)
Looks yummy! I put the same topping on my meatloaf as well,it is very enjoyed here too. I can not eat oats, so I use gluten free bread crumbs. Thanks for sharing.
My mom used to put onions and green peppers into the loaf, I've never seen it done this way, and I sure miss it, to me it was to die for.....thanks for the great videos, Arial!
So I made these tonight for dinner and I used turkey burger and mild pork sausage and they were great. Great recipe I can't wait to make these with deer meat. Next time I think I will use my mini loaf pan. thanks for sharing.
Oh my, one of my favorite meals!! But with red onions or leek. Theres no crying when dicing those and for me the taste is better. 👍 the portions vs a loaf is a good idea. Will try it. The sause too. Luv to create my own sauses.
I love saving onion peels to make veggie broth. I include cabbage cores, celery tops and bottoms, garlic skins, carrot peels and ends, potatoes peels and another veggie scraps. One (packed) gallon freezer bag cover with water and simmer 2 hours. YUM :)
When I had kids to feed I made meatloaf the same way using wild venison and a self sauce too. It was easy to track down hunters who would help me out. Was always thankful to have those skills and opportunities as a single Mumma. And with a cast iron pan that meat still is the best steak, burgers and meatballs we’ve ever eaten.
Wow Ariel. They look soooo good!! I never tried elk, but man does it look lean and healthy. Thanks again for your vids. You're one of my fav channels. I so appreciate the insight into your off grid life!! I also like that knife magnet strip!! Smart for a tiny house. Kudos!!
Ariel! Thank you for another warm, inviting, educational, insightful video. I love your sense of humour, it slides right in there 👍 I'm trying out your delicious recipe, divided into one with the cheese and one without. I appreciate you and how you share with us. Happy days!
In South Louisiana, we put onions in almost everything including eggs for breakfast. When we cube a deer roast, or have some smothered rabbit, we will smother them in onions, bell peppers, and some parsley. Gives the meat a good flavor.
Hi Ariel. Great idea , individual servings you can freeze. I love meatloaf and I am one of those who enjoy a little spicy to kick to it, so i add some jalapeno to it. I appreciate your sharing of all the off grid thoughts as well. I think you found that something (off grid, self sufficient , but still have a supportive social circle) that fits your life. Inspiring ideas for sure. Thanks
My comment is...great video...I actually never thought of individual meatloaves before...love the idea of freezing portions for future meals...well done 😊
I am from Seattle n love this lifestyle of living off the land. Although I am an Indian by birth but always dreamt of living in a log cabin in the remotest part of Alaska. May be some day ! Currently I am visiting india till March. Love your lifestyle n concept of life.....All the very best in life....!!
I love your video. Saw how u get water yesterday. When cooking, I feel as I was a guest in your kitchen. Where as the camera is beside u and not just facing the camera, or like a cooking show that is opposite. Beside is very good. Learning is copying, that's best way. How u speak and what ingredients do, their purpose other than taste, and what happens if u choose more or less, and alternatives, to the original recipe. Made my day. I gonna try that one.
I sat down to have my morning coffee, wondering what to make for supper tonight ... clicked your video and vuala! haha I made the recipe tonight. It was awesome and loved by all. The only changes were lean ground beef, dairy milk and I added a bit more oats. Thanks Ariel for helping me out today, lol ... and great recipe!
If you light a candle and set the candle near your cutting board, it will pull all the chemicals that cause you to cry to the flame. So no more crying while chopping onions .
Year ago I made meat loafs with a fry pan, the meat on a grate and the cover with the large pot of my mess kit, and cooked it on a Coleman Stove. Always good... Your recipe will be tried by me sometime soon. Happy trails! Skip
Love the idea of making smaller individual meatloaves like that and freezing them. Awesome idea! Just added this video to my 'recipes' folder and I'll definitely be making it. And now I'm hungry for meatloaf at 4:00 am lol.
I love to cook and I love meatloaf but I've never considered making it because it's too much for one person. The idea of making smaller portions and freezing them is perfect for me. Thanks again for the idea!
FYI...onion peels are a great natural dye. You can save them and also talk with your grocer to get all the skins that they clean off. Yarn has a light golden color. Also, a big batch of onion soup is always good too.
Wow they look amazing, I will definitely be having a go at making them. I'm really chuffed with myself as I made butter today. I used 1kg of cream and got approximately 600g of butter and 1 pint of buttermilk. It's delicious as I couldn't resist having a taste 😀 xx
16 meatloaves, hope you have some friends to help eat them. Love to watch your videos, wish I could do what you have done with your life. Must be so relaxing to live in those mountains.
oh my gawd , my favorite homemade meat loaf... excellent on your part ... I can almost smell the flavor .. great camera work ... you do so well at that ..
Love this! I've learned to try coconut milk and oatmeal for meatloaf. Can't wait to try it. I, also, love your kitchen. Looks so easy to grab whatever you need and quick clean up.
Hello Ariel , the mini meatloaf is really really good !! one is just the right size ' per person ' the recipe was great and i just followed the way you would measure it out and came out so fine ' froze some cooked some ' thanks so much lovely channel ' peace an friends craig
During the influenza epidemic in one town 1 household didn't get sick. The doctor asked what they did the mother of the house put a half onion in a jar with holes punched in the lid in each room and changed them when they turned black. The thought was it attracted the germs thus preventing the family from becoming sick.
I've never watched anyone prepare a meal in a tiny house kitchen. The functionality of your tiny space is VERY impresive!! I've seen 2000 sqfoot houses with worse kitchens!! Nice place!!!
Thanks! I do cook in my little kitchen all the time and it works very well for me!
A woman who goes out and chops her own wood and cooks up good meals . Awesome !
From this meatloaf loving lady who has made probably thousands of meatloafs, of every variety, over the last 50 years of cooking that looks like a winner to me!
Thanks!
Thank you for all your videos. I really enjoy your lifestyle and how well you manage your environment. Keep them coming, you ‘re great,

Thank you. I have heard that. But yes, keeping my mouth shut while explain what I am doing is a little challenging. ;)
Really like this idea being a single person and love meatloaf.
Love your house and your independence.
Much like you, I LOVE onions. To get around the tears, I put on my swimming goggles. I know I look dorky with them while cutting up onions, but I don't shed one tear! :)
Adam Dusseau Awesome!

This is the first video I have seen that shows someone ACTUALLY LIVING in their tiny house!
Thank you!
Welcome to the channel! Thank you, I do indeed live here. You can find another 130 something videos you might like about my life here on the channel too! :)
I just learned such interesting facts about onions. Thank you!
Looks so delish! My mama used to make that for us many years ago, fairly inexpensive for a poor family of six :)
Nice!
I love meatloaf so thank you very much for the recipe
You're welcome! I hope you like it!
Oh yum yum...elk is supposed to be a wonderful meat. So flavorful and tender. You are so fortunate
Looks yummy! I put the same topping on my meatloaf as well,it is very enjoyed here too. I can not eat oats, so I use gluten free bread crumbs. Thanks for sharing.
I really like your screen shot of your tiny home and land. Looks like heavenly place to live.
Very good job on the video
Wanted to stop by and say im making this recipe again tonight. 😁 so yummy
Nice! Enjoy it again. :)
Meatloave .....good food...thanks for putting sauce on top ,
So jealous..what a great way to live..dont know if I could harvest my own meat though!
It's not my favorite project to be honest. But I value the quality and nutrition of the mean.
My mom used to put onions and green peppers into the loaf, I've never seen it done this way, and I sure miss it, to me it was to die for.....thanks for the great videos, Arial!
Soooo excited to see a new recipe video! Perfect content to film on a cold day inside .
The spirit of Henry David Thoreau lives. 🙂
oh yes!!!! Looks great
Nice touch with the second camera angle.
Thanks for sharing the recipe! They remind me of the porcupine balls my mother made all of the time when I was younger.
So I made these tonight for dinner and I used turkey burger and mild pork sausage and they were great. Great recipe I can't wait to make these with deer meat. Next time I think I will use my mini loaf pan. thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you liked them!

Looks like a perfect meal!!!

Thank you for the inspiration. My brother is lactose-intolerant and I'm going to try this recipe with the coconut milk and invite him over.
I hope he likes them!
This looks like a recipe that I'll actually try. Thanks!
Wow Ariel. They look soooo good!! I never tried elk, but man does it look lean and healthy. Thanks again for your vids. You're one of my fav channels. I so appreciate the insight into your off grid life!! I also like that knife magnet strip!! Smart for a tiny house. Kudos!!

Amazing. I think my blood pressure goes down watching this channel. Thanks Ariel.
Perfect! Maybe I should market that side effect to some doctors. ;)
Wow! That looks great. I knew you were a good cook. I loved watching you cook. Elk is the best:)
All the onions and the ketchup glaze definitely puts it 'over the top'. . . Looks DELICIOUS, Thanks for making us hungry!! :) Phil

I'm now hungry and inspired. Making tiny meatloaves this week. Thanks
great videos
I sat down to have my morning coffee, wondering what to make for supper tonight ... clicked your video and vuala! haha I made the recipe tonight. It was awesome and loved by all. The only changes were lean ground beef, dairy milk and I added a bit more oats. Thanks Ariel for helping me out today, lol ... and great recipe!
I meant to add, I think the small meatloafs are much better as it allows for more area that has that nice outside crispiness. ;-)
Wonderful! I'm so glad you liked it!
Those look awesome, definitely gonna try with venison! Great vid 👍👍👍😃
mmmm looks delicious!...i just ate before watching this and now i'm thinking about supper :-)
If you light a candle and set the candle near your cutting board, it will pull all the chemicals that cause you to cry to the flame. So no more crying while chopping onions .

May I also add, I was living in my 1963 VW bus at the time, back in the 70's.
Nice!
Looking good! I will use your recipe and see how I like it!! TFS
Enjoy your videos very much!
awesome, I'll do this this weekend
Love the idea of making smaller individual meatloaves like that and freezing them. Awesome idea! Just added this video to my 'recipes' folder and I'll definitely be making it. And now I'm hungry for meatloaf at 4:00 am lol.

nice job
sounds good
will try
I made these today...... omm nom nom nom nom .... SO yummy!!!
So glad you enjoyed them!
Ummm...4 cups of good cheddar cheese! That's my type of cooking. The little loaf look goooood. :)
_elk_ loaf... 🤔 interesting. and sweet vidalia onions are my favorite, too.
FYI...onion peels are a great natural dye. You can save them and also talk with your grocer to get all the skins that they clean off. Yarn has a light golden color. Also, a big batch of onion soup is always good too.
I don't have any yarn to dye right now, but yeah, onion soup. I should make that soon!
Great recipe and I’ll definitely be trying it out.
Those look amazing! Please send me some! Lol. I love your channel
Wow they look amazing, I will definitely be having a go at making them. I'm really chuffed with myself as I made butter today. I used 1kg of cream and got approximately 600g of butter and 1 pint of buttermilk. It's delicious as I couldn't resist having a taste 😀 xx
Yup, I make butter all the time with jar and elec hand mixer. It's simple & takes 5 min
You should make try making mayonnaise. It's just as simple. Oil , lemon juice, egg, just takes a min
lineflyer1 I will as I use it all the time. 😊
Nice Moya! And yeah, I've made mayo too. It is pretty easy.
I love your cooking videos!
Looks yummy 😋Pampered Chef rocks!!
16 meatloaves, hope you have some friends to help eat them. Love to watch your videos, wish I could do what you have done with your life. Must be so relaxing to live in those mountains.
I do! They are all gone. ;)

Thanks for the vids. Going to give the mini meatloaves a try tomorrow.
I hope you liked them!
IT is a keeper, that was the comment from my Mother in-law and my two daughters. So, Thanks again.....
During the influenza epidemic in one town 1 household didn't get sick. The doctor asked what they did the mother of the house put a half onion in a jar with holes punched in the lid in each room and changed them when they turned black. The thought was it attracted the germs thus preventing the family from becoming sick.
Little ol' me would thrive in a tiny home.
That looks really yummy!
