Hi Deb,

I have tasted meatloaf with oatmeal in it and it was also scrumptious!

I use the Italian bread crumbs because I make my own. Sometimes when there is leftover old, stale Italian bread, I just grind it up real good in the processor, season it with parsley, oregano, basil, garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Then I store it in zip-lock bags in the freezer.

A wonderful neighbor up in the Panhandle showed me how to do it when she saw me almost throw away the old bread. She stopped me and taught me a very thrifty lesson, not to mention a delicious one.

Hope you are feeling better these days...good to have you back!

Happy Cooking Deb!
