We had salad for supper.
My meat loaf recipe is very simple:
2 pounds of ground beef
1 egg
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 can mushrooms, chopped
about a cup of cheese, plus more to sprinkle on top later on
Some kind of tomato product such as ketchup or tomato paste. Recently I've been using the tomato relish that I made from last year's tomato crop (tomatoes, red peppers, onions, sugar, salt, vinegar) it works great in a meatloaf, a half-cup of salsa would probably work well, too.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix it thoroughly, put it in a 9 inch loaf pan and bake it at 350 for about an hour or until it reaches 180 degrees. Towards the end, I usually sprinkle cheese on top, sometime I brush ketchup on first.
As it cools, I drain off the excess grease.
This makes about 9 1" slices weighing around 5.5 ounces each. I usually log it as 10 carbs and 300 calories.
Tonight we had tomato soup and fried cheese sandwiches.
I made a meatloaf tonight, and had it with a nice salad.
I read an interesting story on the London Times website today about a plan to have schools in the UK serve venison. It appears the UK has a deer overpopulation problem and one approach to lowering the deer population would be to cull around 250,000 head a year and use the meat in school cafeterias.
We got a lot of 'mystery meat' in the dining halls at Northwestern, usually mutton.
A pilot project was fairly successful, 85% of those who tried venison-based meals said they'd eat it again.
The plan is not without opposition, called the 'Bambi effect'.
The trick is to come up with a background image that doesn't look gross, I tried a picture of a trifle and a tray of cinnamon rolls, both looked weird.
The big one made a great BLT, too..
We had chili for supper again.
I'm not sure, when I search for that, it seems to send me to another site and that one has a certificate issue.
Interesting coincidence, I had a colonoscopy today, too, so I'm still eating a bit light. (I'm hoping to get back on a more keto-friendly diet, too.)
Unlike honey, some sources recommend adding a little water to maple syrup when heating it.
Emphasis on LITTLE!
Yeah, it's an easy recipe and pretty good, though I increased the spice level quite a bit.
I didn't go apple picking last fall. Just didn't have the time.
You've very lucky to have good neighbors like that.
Bake them something fantastic!
We went with tomato soup and fried cheese sandwiches on the fresh honey wheat bread, using a Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese.
Wheat bread rising, I may make more Banh Mi rolls, too, as we finished the last batch yesterday.
