Mini Meatloaf Muffins

Halloween is tomorrow!!  Goodness this month flew by.  The weather is amazing here for the end of October - today's high was 75 degrees and tomorrow's is 81 degrees!  Normally we are walking around with coats and gloves and hats and freezing while we walk house to house just for some candy.  Why do we do that?  :)   Are your kids dressing up?

The kids had a birthday party a couple weekends ago and dressed up in their costumes - so here's a preview, there will be makeup and better hair tomorrow!


Our kids LOVE and request meatloaf - that seems like a strange thing to me!  I don't think I had meatloaf a lot when I was a kid, but it always seems to have a bad reputation with kids.

We don't have meatloaf a lot because it takes a while to bake, but I've discovered that making them in muffin tins they take about half the time!  Glorious!!

The newest recipe I modified may be the best one yet.  It makes 12 regular sized muffins and uses healthier ingredients but taste amazing!!  When there are very few leftovers, I know it's a hit!!




Here's what I did:

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pounds ground beef, 93% lean
  • 1 pound ground turkey, 93% lean
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Sauce:
    • 2/3 cup ketchup
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 2 tsp mustard

Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine ingredients for the sauce and set aside
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the other ingredients.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among a olive oil sprayed muffin tin
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until center of the meatloaf is at least 155 degrees.
  • Pull out and spread sauce over each muffin and place back in oven for 3 minutes
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, broccoli,  green beans, salad...the possibilities are endless!


 Though it's no exact science - I would consider 2 muffins to be 1 Red and 1/2 Yellow, if you are doing 21 Day Fix Portions!

 Have a great week guys!

Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227). It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one! I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strength...

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!! I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!!  For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though. I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!! Ingredients 1½ pounds ground beef/turkey ...
