I have invented a new meatloaf recipe and it's in the oven right now.
I'm trying to avoid carbs as much as possible (DH has diabetes) I took
one pound of home-ground lean chuck and 3 Johnsonville sweet Italian
sausages for the meat. I added one egg, some granulated garlic, about 2
tablespoons of dried chopped onion, 1/3 of a small can of tomato sauce
(low salt)and about an 1/8 tsp of dried Italian seasoning. Formed it
into a loaf shape and put it in a glass baking dish just a little bigger
than the loaf (can't measure it now it's in the oven) I poured the other
2/3 of the can of sauce over the top and stuck it in a 350 oven for an hour.

A somewhat modified recipe for German-style braised red cabbage is also
cooking. Early samples are very encouraging!

While I was in the inventing mood, I made an adult beverage. I took 2
ounces of Healthy Balance Cranberry-Pomegranate juice, 2 ounces of
vodka, 1/2 ounce of orange juice, the juice of one Persian lime, 1/2
ounce of Amaretto, 1/2 ounce of creme de banana, 1/4 ounce of marascino
cherry juice and 3 cherries and poured it all over ice. OMG, it's so
good! If anyone wants to name it, I'm open for suggestions.

Janet, happily enjoying her happy hour <g>
