Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground meat
  • 3 oz tomato paste
  • 2 oz tomato sauce
  • 1/2 can diced petite tomatoes
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/4 oatmeal
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cups chopped onions
  • Black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Add ground meat, tomato paste, tomato sauce, oatmeal, garlic, and chopped onions to bowl. Shred in carrot to amount desired and add black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and then add to baking pan, smoothing flat. Add diced tomatoes to top of meatloaf, spreading evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

Notes

Will try more onions, spices, celery.
Second try had about 1/2 zucchini per pound and 1/8 a cup of cilantro or so. Zucchini should be shredded possibly, maybe up oatmeal to 1/3 and no more if any cilantro. Also tasted bumpy since Joshua didn't smooth out top.

 

Green Restorative

Green Restorative You may as well call garlic and cabbage the equalizing twins, as they're simultaniously beneficial for your blood and your circulation. This smoothie has a fairly green flavor so you man want to toss in an apple or cucumber.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 1/4 head cabbage
  • 1 cups water

Method
 

  1. Blend all ingredients together.
  2. Yield: 3 cups

Notes

Interesting and filling. Tastes better than I would think a green smoothie would. Something in it comes across as spicy which is the only downside. Stick with one garlic next time. Probably more cabbage. Blended up well enough with water I put in, but probably wasn't a full cup and is drinking thick.
Suggests adding an apple or cucumber. A small apple would me an interesting addition.
Apple definatelly helped. Small amount of garlic came out less spicy tasting.
