Per my doctor’s orders, I am on a low-fat diet. Because of that, I have had to make some sacrifices, but this easy healthy meatloaf is no sacrifice. Lately I’ve embraced this restrictive, albeit healthier, diet as a way to get more creative. I love mushrooms and my boyfriend hates them (a lot!). For the good of our relationship, I don’t cook with mushrooms too much, but this night I was feeling a bit feisty (and craving mushrooms…). I decided to try hiding them in the meatloaf (you can hide lots of veggies in a meatloaf by the way). I suppose I’m a bad liar, but he suspected something was up half way through the meal. I fessed up about my mushroom caper, but let me just say, he kept eating without any complaints. The moral of this oh so riveting tale is that even picky eaters with enjoy this easy healthy meatloaf with mushrooms.
