WHEN I MEAL PLAN, I OFTEN LOOK FOR WAYS TO CHANGE THINGS UP ABIT. TRY NEW RECIPES OR CHANGE EXISTING ONES. I ALSO CHANGE ACCORDING TO THE SEASON. WHEN IT'S WARM I DON'T WANT THE OVEN ROARING SO I LOOK FOR RECIPES THAT WON'T HEAT UP THE HOUSE. I HAVE BEEN USING GROUND TURKEY AND MIXING IT WITH GROUND BEEF. IT IS ABIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GROUND BEEF AND ITS LEANER SO MIXING IT MAKES IT NOT AS DRY. IT'S ALSO HEALTHIER AND WE ARE TRYING TO CUT BACK FROM RED MEAT. I MADE MEATLOAF IN THIS FASHION AND IT WAS DECLARED THE BEST MEATLOAF EVER....AND NO, HE ISN'T JUST FLATTERING ME.....HE IS VERY OUTSPOKEN IN HIS OPINIONS AND WOULD TELL ME IF IT WAS NOT GREAT! I AM NOT A MEATLOAF LOVER BUT THIS WAS TASTY.
I USED:
GROUND TURKEY/GROUND BEEF (HALF AND HALF)
GRATED CARROT
EGG
GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE
FINELY DICED GREEN ONION
FINELY CHOPPED SPINACH
GARLIC POWDER
BLACK PEPPER
SEASONING SALT
BREADCRUMBS
QUINOA
KETCHUP
MIXED IT UP AND COOKED IT AND IT WAS AWESOME. INTERESTING HOW CHANGING JUST ONE INGREDIENT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
