Paradise by the oven light.....

Meatloaf - my boy's favorite meal.  And not just any meatloaf - barbeque turkey meatloaf.  I got this recipe from one of my ab-fab fellow and inspirational bloggers, my good friend Jess at Stylish, Stealthy and Healthy and she always has some great and yes, healthy recipes she shares.  And the proof of how good this recipe is lies in the fact my other boy - the husband - is a tried and true red-meat eating man who typically wrinkles his nose when I made anything using burger from poultry. 

But not this time.  MOB (my other boy) loves this turkey BBQ meatloaf.  So here is my version of Miss Stealthy's meatloaf - GF style:

 BBQ Meatloaf -by Jess at http://stylishstealthyandhealthy.com/
(Adapted from Can You Stay For Dinner?)
Serves: 4
Cook time: about 45 minutes
You’ll Need:
1lb lean ground turkey
1/3 cup GF Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce (it says "GF" right on the back label!)
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 T Dijon mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. onion powder
1 T tomato paste

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce.   Shape into a loaf and place onto a baking sheet, brushing on remaining 1/4 cup of sauce until loaf is covered.  Bake for 45 minutes, and then transfer to a cutting board and allow to sit for about 15 minutes before slicing.

Seriously delicious.  And remember that whole "I'm a working mom" think I keep telling you?  One of the quickest, easiest, delicious side dishes I make with this any many of my GF meals is mashed potatoes - instant mashed potatoes. And these rock:

 

Idahoan Instant mash come in many flavors - and I haven't had one I didn't love.  Serve with a veggie (our choice for tonight - roasted broccoli) and you've got one fantastic meal that glows like the metal on the end of a knife....



Now hold on, hold on tight - I also tried a new product this week - I found this brand at Karns and was excited to see if they tasted as gooey and chewy as they looked on the front of the box:

 

Survey said:  YUM!  But then again, who doesn't love a chocolate brownie with double chocolate chips?  Now in all honesty, I think the less-expensive brands I find at Aldi's and even the Betty Crocker are just as good.  And you can add your own chocolate chips to make them chocolate x's 2.  But I love trying a new product. 

 

So what did you make your GFP2B kid for dinner tonight?  You can give me your answer in the morning...
