Last night I definitely needed, or should I say wanted, some comfort food. I had already eaten out twice in one day, which is unusual for me, so I really needed to act like I had a brain for dinner. The compromise was I still had meatloaf for dinner, but a healthy version. Just let me say it was freaking awesome!
The recipe is from the 21DFX meal plan, but the topping is my own concoction. I did away with the traditional ketchup topping and made my own version with Adobe peppers in adobo sauce & it takes meatloaf to a whole other level!!
