Healthified Meatloaf and Roasted Potatoes

Healthified Meatloaf
Ingredients:
1 lb ground venison (you can use ground turkey or ground beef too)
3 celery stalks
2 large carrots
1 onion
1/2 green pepper
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoons horseradish
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 whole egg
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup BBQ sauce (I used Open Pit Original)

Steps:
1. Shred carrots, chop celery, slice onion, and dice green peppers.

2. Add meat, vegetables, and all other ingredients except for the BBQ sauce into a large bowl.

3. Mix well and transfer to a 9 X 13 glass baking pan.

4. Add BBQ sauce on top and spread evenly.

5. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.  Enjoy!!

Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients:
4-5 medium sized potatoes
Spices to season (garlic, onion powder, pepper, chili powder)
Nonstick spray

Steps:
1. Chop potatoes up into bite size pieces.

2. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.

3. Add potatoes to cookie sheet and add spices.

4. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Halfway through, flip potatoes so that they can brown on both sides.

This meal was FABULOUS! I even had seconds of the meatloaf which I never have seconds of meat.  My husband loved it too. I will be making it again very soon.

Just to throw it in there, we tried to teach the puppies how to swim in the bathtub....fail!

And here is the chef of this lovely dinner....me!

    Newest follower....I make roasted potatoes in the oven, too. I have been doing this for years. It's not only healthier for you, but simpler than frying them.

    Thanks for visiting MY BLOG last week!

    Hi Amanda,

    Thank you to visit my blog and leave a great comment! It was a pleasant surprise for me!
    I love your recipe. Actually, two months ago I quit eating meat except now I concentrate to eat only fish, more veggies and fruit. Anyhow, I will come often to your blog and learn from a great cook and dietitian like you. By the way, I love, love your super cute pictures of you and your husband! Congrats on your great relationship! You guys have this special glow together at least what I see from the pictures!

    Come to visit often my new posts: http://pfinusa.blogspot.com/
    Best of All, Regards, Terrans
