Food Food and more Food

Hey :)  Caity here.

So, it's after work (yes, I admit it, the last post was written on work hours.. oops!) and I've already made dinner (turkey meatloaf - recipe below) and somehow, again, I ended up on foodblogs.  There are a a few that I really love that I'd like to share.  They mostly have to do with baking and since that's what I love the most . . .

http://bakingbites.com/  - amazing recipes.  I made the Lemon Curd Cream Cheese Pie for the hubster's birthday this year (he's a huge lemon fan) and it was a huge hit.

http://www.visionsofsugarplum.com/ - There is nothing healthy about this website, but man she has some amazing recipes!

http://stephchows.blogspot.com/ - and finally, a girl after my own heart.  She loves food and recreates her own healthier version of non healthy items - check out her homemade nutella (which is how I found her.. searching the vast internet database for a decent homemade nutella recipe that didn't include white refined sugar!


Today's Dinner:  Turkey Meatloaf 

     *side note:  I don't actually measure things when I cook, so the below are estimates.. you'll have to play around with it to figure out what you like!
     *side note 2:  I usually use onions in meatloaf, but I didn't have any so I left them out.

.5 kilo (~ 1 lb) of ground turkey meat
3 garlic cloves, mashed and chopped
1/3 cup of sundried tomatoes, chopped (I use the kind soaked in oil)
1/3 cup of bread crumbs
1/3 cup of rolled oats
splash of milk
egg

Topping
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons mustard
3/4 cup of tomato sauce (just the plain stuff, no flavor and NO, not ketchup)
1 teaspoon of honey

Mix topping ingredients together, set aside.
Mix meatloaf ingredients together.
Spread 1/4 cup of the topping in the bottom of a loaf pan.  Add meatloaf mixture to loaf pan.  Add remaining topping and bake, uncovered for 35ish minutes in a 175C oven.  I served this with some stir fried brussel sprouts (make sure to cook them until they are fairly dark brown - they turn sweet!).  YUM!
