Sue's Fruit Smoothie and Meat Loaf Recipes

I thought it would be nice to share a couple of my own recipes with you for a change.

Sue's Fruit Smoothie 

1 1/2 cups of fat-free milk
1 cup frozen fruit ( I usually use mixed berries, but works well with frozen peaches also)
1/2 a medium banana
Splash of vanilla
3 Splenda packets

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. 
This recipe usually makes 2-3 servings. 


Sue's Best Meat Loaf
Makes about 8 servings

2/3 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup refrigerated egg product, or 3 egg whites 
2 cups soft whole wheat bread crumbs 
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
3/4 cup ketchup, divided ( 1/2 and 1/4 cups)
1 tsp. garlic powder

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 2-quart rectangular baking dish or small roaster with foil; set aside.  In a large bowl, combine milk, egg and 1/4 cup ketchup.  Stir in bread crumbs, onions, Worcestershire, and oregano.  Add ground beef; mix well.  Shape mixture into a loaf and place in baking dish.

2.  Bake 50 minutes.  Spoon off fat.  In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and 1 tsp. garlic powder; spread over meat loaf.  Bake 10 minutes more or until meat is done.

3.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  Spoon off any fat.


I hope you enjoy these recipes.
