Twist on Meatloaf & Potato

Last Tuesday due to the snow our Tuesday night dinner friends didn’t make it but I still made up our dinner that was planned.  It was actually good it was just us due to the boys liked this meal so much they ate it all! Cole told me I was the best cook and I need to be on one of the cooking shows I watch … ahh!  Than Caden told me I was a “Cool as Grave Digger” we recently went to Monster Jam …. LOL.  Thank you again to Pinterest you make my meal planning easy!!  When growing up Meatloaf & twiced baked potatoes where something my mom would make all the time.  I love to bring things from my childhood but with out all the calories.  Here are some great twist of family favorites that won’t bust your pants.

I made the meatloaf with ground turkey due to that was on sale the other day and I stocked up!  I found this Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf and I think I may have to make it again soon!

“This is my entry to the Hotpoint family baking competition”

And of of course a side, I loved this one the boys were so so on it.  These Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes were easy to make (I did them first in the microwave).  The recipe called for baco bites but I did up some turkey bacon!

What is on your menu tonight?  Thank you Pinterest we have Kalyn's Stuffed Cabbage Casserole on our menu for the night.

It’s a Lean Meat & Blueberry thing :)

It was a crazy week last week, well I should say it’s been like that since School has started.  I feel a little like I’ve lost my hold on things lately.  I’m hoping that I’ll get back in the swing of things.  I did good on our meals at least and that is what I’m holding on to that small achievement, we won’t speak about the exercise and/or the candy … ugh!

First off I found this Baked Rigatoni with Beef that was so easy to make and was absolutely filling and yummy!

Next off I’ve made a version of these before but Skinnytaste.com posted a new recipe and I had to make them for our Tuesday Night Dinner guest.  These Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato Frosting, she posted her’s in a aluminum cupcake holder.  I used these thin paper ones that didn’t hold up well so it wasn’t as pretty but they were amazing going down.

And for the dessert a yummy Blueberry Oatmeal Cookie!  These were Cole’s favorite , he requested them every day in his lunch.  They weren’t the prettiest but very tasty!

Happy Tuesday everyone, we’re getting closer to the weekend right? lol So what is on your menu for the night?

It’s a salad Kind of Day …

Last Tuesday when our guest came over we did a BBQ themed dinner.  I wanted to make some salads but trying to get back on eating on the lighter side I found two weight watcher recipes that were a hit.

First off when I was young my mom always made Broccoli Salad.  I wanted to make the lighter version and found this recipe that was so tasty!

Next on the list was a potato salad but again in the lighter side.  This recipe was another delish one, even Rick ate it (and didn’t grumble too much … lol).

Happy Monday everyone!  So what is on the menu for tonight?
