I tried a couple of new recipes last week, both from the April 30 Lighten Up Blog Hop. First, Beverly's Individual Salsa Meatloaves were delicious. I really liked the addition of salsa to the meatloaf as well as creating individual loaves. The recipe makes four small loaves, so Robbie and I had these for supper two nights last week, with different sides each evening so it seemed like two different meals. Second, I tried Ginger's Mexican Lasagna - YUM! Her recipe called for ground chicken, but our grocery store didn't have any the day we went shopping, so I used ground turkey instead. Since we like Mexican food, I was delighted that the turkey tasted great (and with less fat & calories than beef). Beverly is organizing the next Lighten Up Blog Hop for May 30, so be sure to check back then for light picnic food recipes.
I came to the realization a few years ago that if I work out first thing in the morning, it will get done. No excuses like you can make up through the day. It feels good to start your day off with a little sweat. :) Keep up the good work!
