I can't explain it. I love meatloaf. Thoughts of my mom's meatloaf makes me feel loved. Instead of baking it in a loaf pan, she would use a small casserole. I make meatloaf at least once a month. I make a bunch so that I can have leftovers.
I am doing a 9 week challenge. So, I had to make a couple of adjustments. Like, BBQ sauce on only p[art of the meatloaf and had to use a different brand of breakfast sausage. Well, I am getting ahead of myself....
Mom's World Famous Meatloaf.
1 pound of grassfed ground beef
1 pound of bulk pork breakfast sausage
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1tbsp of onion powder
1/4 tsp of chili powder
3 eggs
2 cups of kale - chopped
optional:
finely chopped carrots or onions
Mix everything together. Cover with BBQ sauce. I put mine into a 8X9 baking dish and baking dish. It bakes for 30 minutes at 375.
Like I was saying, the breakfast sausage I normally use had sugar as an ingredient. But, I had a different brand that was simply pork and sage. And since I am trying to avoid sugar/honey, I skipped the BBQ sauce. Honestly, I put some hot sauce on mine when I served it.
Here's a little hug from Mom.

I am not going to going to beat around the bush. Going from the standard American diet to eating whole, nutritious foods is hard. This weekend I spoke to a woman who was terrified at the thought of someone taking away her diet coke. She drinks it all day long. Every day. I think she wanted to cry, literally. I also had the nice young man who explained to me that he HAD to drink meal replacements all day as that is what his work schedule required. I think he also wanted to add "DUH" but, he is a nice guy and didn't.
I get it. Changing your life is hard. Changing how you eat is hard.
But, I promise you will feel better. You will sleep better. I promise.
Please start today. Make one change today. Stop drinking soda after 6pm. Next week stop drinking soda at 4pm. Keep going. Start thinking about how to eat FOOD for meals rather than replacing meals.
