A First: Meatloaf!

In all the years that Chris and I have been married, I have never fixed meatloaf for any meal that we have eaten at home. In fact, I can't say it is all because Chris hates it....I really didn't care for it either. But, in my quest of trying a new recipe each week - I did the unthinkable today...I made MEATLOAF!! Applesauce Meatloaf to be exact. And...it actually tasted very good! Chris even said it could be made again. So, here is the recipe...I dare you to try it. If we can like it, I bet you will too!



Applesauce Meatloaf


1 lb ground beef
1/2 c bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
3/4 c applesauce
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c chopped onion
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c ketchup
1/8 c mustard


Mix ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, seasoned salt, salt, eggs, and applesauce together. Spoon into an ungreased 9x5 loaf pan; set aside. Combine ketchup, mustard & brown sugar and spread over meatloaf. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Tips: Preparing Beverages

• to add flavor to tea, dissolve old fashioned lemon drops or hard mint candies in tea
• always chill juices or sodas before adding them to beverage recipe
• calorie-free club soda adds sparkle to iced fruit juies and reduces calorie per portion
• to cool your punc, float an ice ring made from the punch rather than using ice cubes...it's more decorative and it doesn't dilute the punch
• place fresh or dried mint in the bottom of a cup of hot chocolate for a cool and refreshing taste
• never boil coffee, it brings out acids that cause a bitter taste
• always use cold water for electric drip coffee makers
