"Meat loaf with lemons?!", the girls asked.
A little trick for chopping onions without crying, cut your onion in half and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes before chopping. Unfortunately for Makena, I forgot to put the onions in the freezer until right before the girls came so she got a little teary..... :)The oven for today's dinner needs to be preheated to 350 for both dishes. The meat will cook for 45 minutes and the potatoes for 30 minutes, both at the same temp.
