May 8th Dinner

Tonight for dinner is Turkey Meatloaf, Mashed Cauliflower, yellow squash, zucchini and roasted broccoli

My meatloaf is pretty simple to make I try not to over do the flavor, i want my meat to taste like meat not filler, so I use 1 egg, some bread crumbs,ketchup, spicy mustard and that's it, I mix it well but never over working it, no one like a tough meatloaf.

Mashed Cauliflower is now one of my very favorite sides since I eat little to no carbs anymore,
to do this well you need fresh cauliflower, cut the head into small enough pieces that they boil evenly, bring the cauliflower to a boil, the cauliflower is done when it is soft and a fork enters the cauliflower easily, drain the cauliflower well, put the cauliflower back into the hot pan so some of the moisture cooks off, the mash it, I add sour cream and butter, and just a touch of horseradish, salt and pepper to taste.

Yellow squash and zucchini and broccoli all go in the oven at 400 degrees, till they are brown and evenly roasted, i add just a little bit of garlic and salt and pepper.

This is my partners favorite meal, my kids love it, I love it and in total it is only 5 carbs!
