Cheesy Meat Loaf Minis & Couscous with Swiss Chard, Raisins and Feta

I saw this recipe in cooking light and thought i'd give it a try.  Meatloaf with cheddar cheese and parmesan?  What could possibly be bad about that?   I didnt have any horseradish so i used wasabi paste and really didnt taste it at all!  Next time i'll definitely use horseradish and i think i'll also switch out the cheddar with pepper jack cheese.

This is the second time I've made this couscous recipe and its still good :)  I didnt have feta on hand so i used goat cheese which was equally delicious in this!
