Easy Veggi-Licious Meatloaf
"This is not a vegetarian meal. This just has a lot of vegetables in it. It is something that I threw together in hopes of getting my nieces and nephew to incorporate vegetables in their meal. I made it about 10 years ago for the most stubborn eaters, and now it's their dinner request every time they visit! I usually make (2) dishes, freezing one for another night. Easy enough to make that my 9 and 13 year old do this by themselves! Serving size is per dish."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I am a mom of two wonderful daughters and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 18 years. I learned how to cook from my dad and stepmom. We had real dinners 6 nights out of the week. And on the 7th it was pizza night. <br />They took the time to show me the art of cooking, baking, grilling, etc. And they also told me that if you don't put love into what you are making, the people who are eating it will notice the difference. <br />My husband is an amazing chef as well and I am willing to admit, he is a smidge better than I. Just a smidge =) <br />I am not much of a breakfast or lunch gal, but I love going all out for my dinners. I love watching the faces of those who surround me at the dinner table light up when their taste buds and belly are pleased. I love to cook everything from Italian, German, American and anything Spanish! Especially Cuban style. My husbands family and mother were born in Havana and came here about 40 years ago. So they have taught me a lot of the authentic recipes and believe me, they are beautiful to look at as well as taste. <br />I do have a few signature meals that people request for me to make if I invite them over for dinner. There is my Momma's Veggie Meatloaf, Chicken Eggplant Parmesan, Spicy Shrimp Scampi and my Seafood Delight. I hope you enjoy them as much as my friends and family do.</p>
