It’s Groundhog’s Day!

And Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, signaling 6 more weeks of winter.

If you believe in that sort of stuff.

Either way, it’s fun to get into the spirit of a seemingly meaningless holiday, so why not make a Groundhog Meatloaf in the shape of our favorite rodent?

See, if you didn’t like his prediction your mind can go all sorts of places while you’re eating this meal. And if you did like it; well, it’s a cute way to honor the little guy who brought you some hope and enlightenment.

If you’re a true blue Seinfeld fan, you know that Festivus  – the holiday for the rest of us – falls today.

It’s time to break out the Festivus pole, regale your guests with Feats of Strength and participate in the Airing of Grievances.

But first, the traditional meatloaf must be served. And enjoy it you will or you’ll be first on the list of grievances.

Here’s a fun meatloaf recipe that’s quick and easy. And, really, isn’t that in the spirit of Festivus? It’s not fancy. Just great.

Enjoy your Festivus celebration – and don’t pull anything during the Feats of Strength!
