Two More Recipes to Share

Well...my plan to sleep didn't work. I woke up at 10am despite staying up later than normal last night. As a result, I'm heading into work tired and with a headache. Oh joy, Oh fun...but I'll survive I suppose.

Despite my heavy head, I made my way to the grocery store this afternoon to pick up some ingredients for a new Easy Salsa Meatloaf Veggie Ground Round Loaf I planned to make and take to work with me. Once again I found the recipe on allrecipes.com and just substituted the meat for a vegetarian alternative. This loaf I didn't enjoy as much as my lentil loaf (as I think I added too much extra salsa), but it was okay and hit the spot.  Definitely easy to make! As you can see I added a little extra ketchup to the top!

I also made my favourite mac and cheese casserole  that I also found on the same website last summer. Oh it's to die for. It's NOT diet friendly at all,  but I wanted to use up the cheese I had in my fridge before it expired. Plus my best friend loves this dish so I made it anyway. I did use all low fat cheeses to make it a bit better so at least that's a good thing. The key to eating this dish right now is PORTION CONTROL!!!!!  Tonight for the first time ever I didn't have a heaping dish of it (or two or three). I just had a small amount as a side with my veggie loaf and spinach. Go Sonya Go!!!! lol.... I must say my tummy is thanking me as (still to this day) I never know how it's going to handle cheese.

I thought I'd share some pictures as I'm trying to get better at that.. I did  forget to take a picture of the spinach though. Oops!

Until next time enjoy....
