Meatloaf for Baby

 


I made these meatloaves for Grandson C inspired by an Instagram video.  I used ground up rice crackers instead of breadcrumbs although breadcrumbs are probably fine for him  now.  Wait for the meatloaves to cool before removing from the baking tray sprayed with (Pam floured baking spray) else they might break up.

1 carrot grated
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 
1 egg
1/4 c formula
4 rice crackers ground up in a mortar and pestle

Mix all ingredients and fill a mini loaf pan sprayed with Pam floured spray.

Bake in a pre heated 350F oven for 25-30 mins.  When cooled, removed the loaves.  Serve in breadstick sized (finger sized) portions.

Egg White Omelette with feta and mozzarella

 


I made these egg white omelettes and they were quite good.

2/3 c of a box of liquid egg whites is equivalent to 4 egg whites. So I used 1 1/3c cups.

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

salt, pepper

handful of shredded mozzarella cheese

handful of crumbled feta cheese

1 tbs unsalted butter olive oil or both

Add seasonings, whisk egg white mixture with a fork until fluffy. Heat butter and/or olive oil pour in the whisked egg white mix.  When almost cooked, top on half with cheeses, flip the other half over top and you are done.  They are great on  toasted buttered bagels.

Sunday Smiles and Sunday in the Art Room

 


I did some wild mushrooms and ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic. Ananka inspired this piece recently with her own mushroom post .

Linking to Gillena's Sunday Smiles and to Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room, her new art challenge where it is all about art.

Well I stepped out of the shower on Friday and pulled a muscle in my back while putting my underwear on. I hope I recover in a week sheesh. It is laughable and yet not funny at the same time. I can still function, it just slowed me down considerably.

Fancy Cocktail picks

 


Daughter L her husband and son K went to a NewYear's Eve party and brought home some leftovers.  We thought her friends cocktail picks were so cute and fancy.  It added a nice touch to the hors d'oeuvres. You would just have to be careful not to eat them!

Husband M and I babysat Grandson C.  He was very good except when it came to bedtime and he was expecting mama to put him to bed like she always does.  It is interesting they know so much at that age already.

Beet salad

 

I made this beet salad using a recipe I saw on Instagram.  The dressing is parsley, olive oil, salt, lemon juice mixed in with cooked diced beets and crumbled feta cheese.  I boil the beets for about 45 minutes.
