To those who enjoy cooking???!
Do you have a habit of throwing certain dishes together without a recipe, it turns out the best you've ever made and then you can't remember everything and how much you used!? I do this with meatloaf and with Potato salad as well!. Dang!.!.!.I wish I could remember what I threw in that meatloaf the last time I made it!.

Nah, I usually take a recipe and tweak it to my liking so I have a base to go off of!. I am not good enough to completely wing it

Both!. Depends on the pantry!. Mostly oatmeal in Meatloaf!. Breadcrumbs if out of oatmeal, and saltines as a last resort, due to watching the salt content!.
I have done what you have so many times that now I keep a wire bound 6x9" hardcover notebook and pen in the kitchen for just that purpose!. And skinny post its for tagging pages!. I don't catgorize just jot them down in the order I cook them up!. So I do some page turning to find one I want to make up!. Now I have quite a collection and my Husband is thrilled!. I would come up with something outstanding and not save the recipe!. Now I can repeat it!. He is so much happier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Breadcrumbs !.!.!.!.!. one of my favorite adjustments for meatloaf is to use Italian breadcrumbs, add a little basil, oregano, and/or garlic and making a marinara or spaghetti sauce to use on it instead of ketchup!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've made meatloaf with milk soaked bread, bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, seasoned stuffing mix!.!.!. pretty much anything - just to try it once!.!.!. I've even used oatmeal (I ground it in my processor to make it more flour like in texture)Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is the only way I cook, making it up as I go, so sometimes the meatloaf is just right on at other times it is falling apart, or has too much/not enough of something in!.

I refer to those as "surprise" dishes, because I too am surprised when they come out well, and surprised that I can't recreate them!. :-)
