Ahhh, meatloaf! \u00a0Either you love it…or you hate it. \u00a0(Doesn\u2019t it seem that most folks fall into one category or the other?) \u00a0How about your family? \u00a0 Meatloaf is on our menu 2 or 3 times each month…along with the leftovers, too. \u00a0So, I am always on the lookout for an additional FABulous ingredient to change it up. \u00a0\u00a0We got over the hurdle of making it gluten free by the addition of dehydrated potatoes (or, even better, dehydrated sweet potatoes…oh!my!). \u00a0But that doesn\u2019t fit into our menu right now. \u00a0For a month or so now, we have been eating really<\/strong> low-carb…which presents a problem with meatloaf. \u00a0So I been thinking of something to sub in for breadcrumbs or dehydrated potatoes. \u00a0And I thought perhaps some leftover quinoa…and when I googled some recipes, I found that this was not an original thought. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0There’s a ton of recipes and variations out there! \u00a0Here is what we enjoyed; hope you and your loved ones do, too!<\/p>\n
