When I first became ill with ulcerative colitis and had to completely relearn how to cook and bake, one of the first cookbooks I bought was Grain Free Gourmet by Jodi Bager and Jenny Lass. This meatloaf is adapted from their cookbook.  If I find a recipe that I really like, I typically tweak it and make it my own, but I never found a reason to do that with this recipe. It is perfect the way it is and my family and I both love it. If you make it in the morning you can just pop it in the oven for dinner at night. It is packed with veggies and so you get your veggies in the meatloaf and we usually have it with roasted carrots and the boys have mashed potatoes.  This is my son’s Jake’s favorite recipe so this should make him hungry out in Colorado. When all 5 of us are at home, I double this recipe and make two loaf pans so we have plenty for the next day.  This is a great warming meal for a chilly day so enjoy!

We had this last night while watching the Royals and the food was better than the game.  We will get them tonight… Go Royals!!
