Kid’s Recipe: Pork Turkey Meatloaf
It has been a while since I last posted a kid’s recipe. My daughter reminded me of that because last week there was the Food Day 2008 and she got a lot of advices from her teacher about healthy food. She’s always telling me know that: vegetables are healthy, we should eat a lot of fruit, onion is good for our tummy and so on. I take advantage of her advices and when she doesn’t want to eat a certain ingredient I tell her: That’s good for our tummy. Yes… I know I’m mean but don’t tell her ok?
Today I bring here a recipe with a lot of vegetables,. Although it takes around 1H 40M to get read, this recipe is very healthy and tasty for adults and kids. I picked this recipe from All Recipes. Here is a comment from Kris W.:
“This soft-textured meatloaf is speckled with vegetables. My kids and I love the flavor of this dish. There’s always enough for sandwiches the next day and crumbled into spaghetti sauce the day after that.”
