Oddly enough, meatloaf is a favorite of mine. It’s simple, can be made ahead, and with a little TLC, can be a super nutritious meal.
After making Mandi’s Meatloaf recipe from TrainerMomma.com, I knew right away I wanted to share it with you guys and I figured what better way to share a recipe than in a video, right?
This is only one of Trainer Momma’s many delicious and nutritious recipes, so when you have a chance be sure to pop over and check them all out. And if don’t feel like cooking and prefer a good hard workout, she’s got you covered there as well… see for yourself!
As for me, I’m officially 30 weeks pregnant (probably about 27 in this video) and feeling really good. I’ve also been busy working on some new design ideas for the site and plan on sharing them soon, so get ready for some changes around here!
In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy some Meatloaf!
