I use an egg or two in my meatloaf to hold it together. I also use dry oatmeal or crushed up saltine crackers instead of the bread like Dee. For flavor, I sometimes chop up onion and green pepper. My recipes goes something like this:
ground beef or a mixture of ground beef/ground turkey
chopped onion/green pepper
tomato sauce
egg
oatmeal or crushed crackers
Mix together until it makes a goopy mess....instead of one large loaf, I like to use a measuring cup and make small individual portions, it bakes faster and is easier to measure out calories. About 10-15 minutes left of baking time, I lightly add some ketchup to the surface of the meatloaf.
Actually, my nephew and I have had a few contacts throughout the years, but I never wanted to intrude when his father (my brother) was involved. They have basically dropped all contact with each other. He is planning a trip to come up this summer if all works out. He is divorced, two kids, cowboy from Texas.
Sherry, the concert will be the Country Stampede in Manhattan, Kansas. Basically it sits out in the middle of a huge pasture with no shade trees whatsoever! To keep up your strength and to not dehydrate, it is required one must drink all the beer they can! LOL! They have a stage setup with large screens on each side. Year before last I missed the chance to go backstage to meet Keith Urban, we needed to come home early!
My mothers health depends if I get to go or not. She had an appointment today to do x-rays and check for fluid accumilation... we had to cancel because she now has a bladder/kidney infection. She has all the indications, burning while urinating, urgency and now blood in the urine. The doctor called in antibiotics and we will go next Monday to the medical center.
Vickster, what plan are you following? You can't ever leave us again! If you do, I'm coming and hunting you down.
Dee, I wish I could cook like you! I am like my sig. CHEAP, FAST & EASY all the way!! LOL!
Have you girls tried the Jennie-O brand of turkey burgers? They come in a box, so I was leary purchasing something I could not see. I purchased the original instead of the seasoned patties. They cook up just like beef burgers and even turn brown instead of staying the white shade that turkey usually does. They are 160 calories per patty. Last night we grilled a few, they are really good and remind me of a very lean beef patty.
