Salsa Meatloaf and Swiss Chard Saute

The other day I made a wonderful meal.
Wait for it.......Salsa Meatloaf with Avocado Aioli and Swiss Chard Saute.
Doesn't sound all that wonderful until you eat it.

Forgive the picture, I was halfway through my meal when I remembered that I wanted to post this recipe. Yikes it looks bad and the color is not good for the avocado Aioli but trust me, it was good and everybody (sister in law and friend) included liked it.
