Not the most appetizing name, but what else would you call a meatloaf mixture that’s baked in a muffin pan? It’s not really a meatloaf.

That was our dinner tonight, and it was delicious.

Preheat oven to 400F. Mix together roughly 2-3 pounds of ground beef, two shredded carrots, one shredded zucchini, one shredded Granny Smith apple, 1/2 shredded onion, two eggs, one cup of cooked rice, Italian seasoning and a little olive oil. Spoon into greased muffin pan, spread a little tomato sauce on top and bake for 20 minutes.

Voila! Kids don’t even realizing they’re eating fruits and veggies.

*drumroll, please*

Emily Michelle, aka the domestic zookeeper, for recalling Rex’s eighth birthday two weeks too late. Ladies and gentlemen, please hold your applause while the the zookeeper grovels just a little bit longer…

Happy Birthday, lil’ man.
