Heart Healthy Meatloaf

Ever Since my Dad had his heart attack a year ago, my Mom has been revamping every recipe you can imagine. The Doctor said, “You better get Heart Healthy or he won’t be here for too many more Christmas’s”. That was all it took for Mom to get busy in the kitchen!

But dad had other ideas, of course, he was an Ox and gonna live to be a hundred! Yeah, okay whatever Dad, So in an effort to “fool” Dad into thinking he is eating his “regular” foods but keeping with the Doc’s orders, mom has whipped up a few recipes I have tried and there really great! We had this delectable number the other night. It’s a revamp of a winter classic but with a healthy twist! Hope you all enjoy!
