Week of new recipes! Mini Meatloafs

Mini Meatloafs

Ingredients:
* ground beef
* zucchini
* spinach
* 1 egg
* spices (I used a spice mix I got from the spice bazaar in Turkey but you can simply use: basil, oregano, garlic, onion powder, pepper, celery salt, etc - or try an MSG/Salt free Mrs Dash mix.  The southwest chipotle would be interesting to try here).

Directions:
Mix all of the above ingredients.  Grate the zucchini with a cheese grater and chop the spinach up into small pieces.  If your kids are picky about "green stuff" in their food you can put the egg and veggies in a magic bullet and puree - they disappear into the meat!  Form the meat into mini meatloaf shapes and place on cookie sheets.  Bake on 365 for about 40 mins.  I eat these with organic salsa (right now I like Neil Brothers brand).  Easy to take for lunch too!  It's fun to have little single serving portions ready to go :)

Bonus:
I used a couple of these one night in a stirfry - Gary loved it!  I simply broke up 2 loafs into small chunks, added veggies, coconut oil, and a spicy dried red pepper into a pan and stir fried for a few minutes - SO easy and yummy for a quick dinner :)
