Chicken and Veal Meatloaf

 

You may have noticed that I love meatloaf, meatballs, burgers ~ sounds a bit like comfort food, huh? That’s probably from growing up in the South. We used to eat biscuits and gravy for breakfast or dinner, so good… not necessarily good for you, but completely delicious and addictive. That is the same type of comfort food approach that brings meatloaf and mashed potatoes into play. Actually one of my favorite clients tells me that his all time favorite meal is meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas. He lights up with enthusiasm and gets visibly excited to think of that delicious memory.

 

In an effort to be true to my commitment to my better health and waistline, I have moved to a more figure friendly pairing and have chosen to have a salad with my meatloaf instead of mashed potatoes and gravy.
