Today’s Menu: Turkey Meatloaf Sandwich w/ Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes

The wind chill was 2 degrees this morning, BRRR! It’s going to be a cold and blustry day around here so what would be better than a hot and healthy comfort food dinner to the insides up. i had previously made Turkey Meatloaf and had a mini pan frozen. I sit it out in the morning and it was ready to be warmed by dinner. I never was a fan of Meatloaf until I started making my own using Ground Turkey. Now it’s one of my favorite comfort foods. I’ll leave the recipe at the end of the post.

Along with the Turkey Meatloaf I had sides of Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes. I used Healthy Life Whole Grain Buns for my sandwich. For a dessert/snack later a bag of Jolly Time 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Pop Corn. Stay Warm!
