Meatloaf Monday

I think we all get random cravings for certain meals sometimes. Yesterday Ryan had a hankerin’ for meatloaf, so that made tonight’s dinner decision an easy one. I turned to Cooking Light, my favorite recipe resource, for a yummy yet healthy meatloaf recipe. We started with lean ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, BBQ sauce, [...]

Even though I wasn’t too hungry when I woke up this morning, I made a quick breakfast of French toast with egg whites, nutmeg and cinnamon. My grandma had real maple syrup, fresh blueberries [...]
