It's been a while....

Thanks to those of you who have asked about my blog.  I really appreciate knowing that someone is reading it and appreciates it.  I'm excited to be back posting and blogging again. 

Tonight we tried something new.  Meatloaf...now that might not sound new, but I've never made it like this before.  I was a little nervous about it, but it came out really good.  Will definitely be making it again.  I doubled the recipe and froze one of the meatloaves for leftovers.  So here's the recipe:

Quinoa Meatloaf

For 2 servings:
1 pound minced beef
2 eggs
1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
2 chilies
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Rosemary
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Cook quinoa as directed. Preheat oven to 350 F. Add onion, chili, and cloves to a food processor and chop finely. Add cooked quinoa and all ingredients to a large bowl and mix together. Grease a loaf tray with coconut or olive oil, then add the mixture and bake for 1 hour.


I didn't have any chilies, so I left that out, but I'm sure that would be a welcome addition.  My house still smells amazing as a result of this. 
We also had steamed broccoli with it.  Delicious!!!!  Nicholas couldn't get enough of the broccoli!!!!
