Easy Recipe: Healthy Meatloaf aka Meat Muffins

When I first started dating my husband, he shared a story about how he detested meatloaf as a child and would nearly cry every time his mother served it. His sour relationship with meatloaf continued into adulthood. So when my larger-than-life grandmother first met him, served her favorite meatloaf recipe and he actually ate it, I knew he was a keeper. But it still wasn’t something either of us prepared, until a few years ago. Once our son started eating, I looked to find wholesome food that I could prepare in advance and reheat ranging from zucchini muffin bites to homemade applesauce. It was then I tested a few healthy meatloaf recipes and changed the name. Guess what…now my husband even eats the meat muffins.
