Last night's Bachelorette. That Justin is a real winner, right? In all honesty, it does not surprise me one bit that he would simply go on the show to enhance his wrestling career. Wonder how far he'll get now...
And we can all only hope his "girlfriend" back home gives him the boot.
Yesterday was beautiful here, as is the rest of week according to Mr. Weatherman, so we are looking forward to that at our house! Tomorrow is the farmer's market and Saturday will be spent all day on a boat, on the river...can't get better than that.
Last night for dinner I made meatloaf. Can I first just say, I've never liked meatloaf. I don't remember liking it growing up, nor liking it as an adult, but I've always wanted too. Just how I never used to like oatmeal growing up, but somehow I willed myself to keep trying it and now I love it.
I think that has happened with meatloaf too.
I found a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook I was reading this weekend, and tweaked it a little to our liking. Here it goes!
Sweet & Spicy BBQ Turkey Meatloaf
1 lb. ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. Italian style breadcrumbs
1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1 t. garlic salt
1/2 of jalapeno pepper, diced (seed the jalapeno, if you want it less spicy)
1 t. pepper
1/2 c. barbecue sauce, additional for topping
In large bowl mix all ingredients with wooden spoon or hands, until just combined. Do not over mix. Place in loaf form, in an 8x8 baking pan. Spoon additional barbecue sauce on top of meatloaf. Bake in an 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
Surprisingly, this was a HIT. Even the husband who remembers "gagging and washing down meatloaf as a child with a glass of water", loved it. There was not a piece left!
And, as a special treat (which usually doesn't happen during the week), I pulled out the one and only Strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake I didn't sell last week from the freezer, and we had a serving of that with homemade whipped cream.
Yep, I took an egg white and beat the living _____ out of it in my Kitchen Aid for around 8 minutes, until soft peaks formed and a pinch of sugar was added. Not to shabby!
What meal did you hate as a child?
