Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Lets be honest. Meatloaf is one of the most un-photogenic foods ever! 
Since it won't look pretty either way lets settle for this iPhone picture :)


Meatloaf is one of my favorite meals! Coming from a former vegetarian that says a lot! I posted my old recipe for meatloaf on this blog a few years ago. This is my updated recipe that is both Paleo and Whole30 approved! I combined my old recipe with Eating for Idiots Meatloaf Recipe and came out with a winner!
