Grown up meatloaf is wonderful, as are many other grown up versions of simple dishes, agreed. I did notice the other day that you were kicking carbs and I'm glad it's going well for you. With how I've been feeling the past couple of days (bloated gut, etc.) coupled with huge carb cravings in the PM at work, I'm seeing a carb cut in my near future too. I usually keep things in my desk at work so I don't have to tote them back and forth, but this is NOT working for me and almost every day I find myself wanting to, or actually, dipping into my stockpile of small crackers and melbas. Tossing them when I get to work this morning.

Tracey would you mind posting the full recipe?  It sounds really good. 

It's posted on the Ontario recipe forum under meatloaf here

Thank you!

Wow, yummy, thank you! 

Just viewed the recipe - looks delish! 

Thanks Tracey

Looks good. I ned to grocery shop tomorrow so may try it then

We love it.  I'd tried it with all beef, a 50/50 mix of beef/pork and 1/3 mix each of beef/pork/veal and our favourite was the beef/pork combo.  I always use cremini mushrooms for the gravy as we like them better than regular white mushrooms but all are good.  When I have company I make double the gravy as people love it on their potatoes too.  Don't skimp and use dried herbs, the fresh make a huge difference in the flavour. A lot of juice comes out of it as it cooks so I let it sit for a good 10 minutes before slicing then I drain all the liquid out.  A lot of it comes from the veggies so it's not all fat coming out.

My son's girlfriend said she wanted herbs for Christmas and then did not take them home. So i happen to have some parsley and I think Thyme growing at the moment. LOL

I was so late getting on-line today I didn't post my menu. Things at work are nuts

I really like your idea of making a frittata and then eating it the rest of the week. Do you make it on Sunday and it doesn't spoil for 5 days?
