Welcome!

We are two chicks who decided to share some fun with food!
We plan on choosing some recipes and having a bit of fun with them! Sara will make the original recipe and maybe have some low-fat options and I, Dawn will take the recipe and tweak it if I can to become kidney and diabetic friendly (because, yes, I am both diabetic-type 2 and have PKD). Hopefully we will share some delicious and healthier versions of our recipes!

Dawn's Version of Meatloaf

Original Recipe: Favourite Meatloaf

I haven't made this yet because it's been too hot to cook in the oven but I'm going to soon...it's a recipe for burgers I found that I've tweaked to be a meatloaf instead and is very healthy and kidney friendly.

CHERRY MEATLOAF

1/2 small sweet onion (Vidalia or Walla Walla), chopped small
1 lb of lean ground beef
1/2 cup dried cherries, finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs (white)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup Cherry Ketchup (recipe follows)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Press into a greased bread loaf pan and cover with Cherry Ketchup.
Bake in preheated oven at 350C for 40 minutes to an hour.

DIABETIC VERSION: substitute whole wheat bread crumbs
substitute raw sugar in the ketchup

CHERRY KETCHUP
