Not Your Mama's Meatloaf (Unless You're Named Elijah)

DayJahView's Note:

I LOVE one Dish Meals and I Strive to Live by my Motto: Eat a Rainbow a Day! So when you combine those two habits you wind up with some pretty funky yet nutritiously sound and so good tasting dishes! Once you are no longer afraid to 'think outside the box' your world will open to many a creative idea and your taste buds will thank you! This one is dedicated to my son who is the first person in my life to like and later LOVE my cooking as well as to my Peter who LOVES everything I make! I call this my Meat Poultry Legume Vegetable Loaf! Enjoy!
