january 2016 announcements- new channel direction

With the new year, I have decided to make more videos featuring other types of recipes besides meatloaf. Don't get me wrong, I love meatloaf and you'll still be seeing meatloaf videos at least once a month. But I will be making other types of food videos.

This channel is going to be focused more on what crazy culinary experiments I can make that actually taste good, which is why I changed my channel banner to the mix between a mad scientist's laboratory and a kitchen(through the magic of Picmonkey.com).

I liked doing the avocado recipes last year, so i have decided each month will feature a different ingredient made in numerous different ways(always in a meatloaf, of course, but other ways too). With my new grill, waffle maker, and ice cream maker, I will be showing you new types of recipes as well.

Of course, unlike the avocado recipes, not all of the recipes based on the featured ingredient will be inside a meatloaf ultimately, like my stews, fries, and ice creams. Those are all self-contained recipes.

This month's themed ingredient is champagne! It seems the only time we even mention this ingredient is during New Year's Eve/Day, and at weddings, and January is the perfect month to feature champagne.

There is a slight problem with acquiring champagne, however: it's expensive, like where I live it's $8.99 a bottle at a liquor store(the supermarkets don't carry alcoholic champagne). Keep in mind I'm doing at least 7 champagne recipes this month, so the costs add up, which is why only one of my champagne videos will feature actual champagne. Two other videos will feature champagne vinegar(which is $5.99 a bottle at Whole Foods), and the rest will use sparkling white grape juice fruit cocktail(which is $3.50 a bottle at a supermarket) instead.

With that being said, all videos from now on on this channel will be under the "Meatloaf Princess" banner. So no more "French Fry Princess", which may have confused some of you anyway.

I want to do some collab videos with other food channels on YouTube this year so if you're interested in that opportunity, feel free to message me and I'll see what we can do.

A new year brings new beginnings, which I'm doing with this channel, and I look forward to sharing my recipes with all of you! :)
