We’re mixing things up for the first episode of Season 2 of the Two Cat Kitchen with our first themed episode! Today we feature everything meatloaf- the artist and the food. We start things off with a musical number from the archives, then get right into the recipe- it’s vegan meatloaf and you can follow along with our video on our Two Cat Kitchen YouTube. Also in this episode the Coconotes go above and beyond with another cover of a song by The Cure, and their version of the Meat Loaf tour-de-force Paradise by the Dashboard Light! We round things out with uniquely informative session with Chi Chi Pekingese who brings us up to speed on the artistry of Meat Loaf. We hope you enjoy this themed episode- we’ll be doing more from time to time here on the Two Cat Kitchen!
