Loafin' Around

Last night I finally made the meat loaf. I have to say that it was much better than I had expected. I don't much care for meat loaf. Sorry Mom, but the recipe I grew up on was kind of... well... this one is much better.

Since I am back to counting points, and we rarely eat red meat around here, I used ground turkey. I also used Craisins instead of dried apricots and raspberry jam for the glaze, oh and whole wheat bread. I did my best to figure out the points, and found this recipe to be a great addition to our standard set of menus. I served mixed veggies on the side to give the dinner some bulk.

I liked how easy this recipe was, and the tangy sweet flavor the jam added.... as well as the cranberries. If I ever think to buy cranberry sauce, I'd likely pair that with the Worcestershire sauce for the glaze.

Yassine ate nearly the whole loaf in less than 24 hours, so I know I'll be making/teaching him how to make it again!

I'd definitely try this with craisins for anyone who may not have an affinity for apricots.

Happy Baking!
