What is it about meatloaf? It can be absolutely delicious or completely blah. To me, it’s classic comfort food, super quick to put together and if you use the right ingredients, a healthy and delicious dish for your family. It’s flexible, versatile and you can change up ingredients at will. This recipe makes a large, super moist and tender meatloaf. My husband has never been a big meatloaf fan but he literally devours this when I serve it!

Mushroom Lasagna-Easy, Rich and Decadent!
And amazingly, married to an Italian as I am, there is no red sauce, no ricotta, no mozzarella but boy, oh boy is there incredible flavor. Savory bites of mushroom, creamy nutmeg scented béchamel (which is just a fancy name for white sauce), a hint of garlic and lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese. It’s not low calorie but it might just make you swoon. It freezes brilliantly if you have some left over. Which I sincerely doubt. It’s the perfect vegetarian option for your Thanksgiving feast. Rich and creamy and supremely decadent. Even the turkey lovers will want a piece!
Salmon Patties
Here’s a heart healthy and delicious recipe loaded with Omega-3’s to add to your collection. I make these all the time! Honestly, this is one of my ‘go-to’ dinner recipes and the best part? You can use canned (wild caught) salmon! Or use fresh if you chop it up or pulse it a few times in the food processor. It also works fabulously with fresh crab meat.
Even my friends who don’t love fish love these salmon patties. They are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, full of flavor and easy to make. Mix everything together and form into patties in the morning and at dinner time, all you have to do is cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, just enough time to throw together a quick green salad and steam a veggie!
Savory Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Savory Chicken Lettuce Wraps are all spicy goodness wrapped up in a cool lettuce leaf. Easy to make these are perfect as an appetizer or main dish and just as good as PF Changs without the price tag!
Raw, Vegan, Veggie Pasta Salad
I love a good, spicy peanut sauce and mixed with spinach fettuccine and lovely shredded veggies this becomes a wonderful cold main dish pasta or a perfect side dish to bring to a pot luck. Use gluten free pasta if you want to keep this totally gluten free. Or, keep it completely raw by subbing ribbons of zucchini for the pasta!
