Meatloaf just takes too long. It’s pretty inexpensive and definitely wholesome, but sometimes the 1+ hour cook time makes it seem like you’re making Sunday supper and not a quick weeknight dinner. So, how do we fix that? Bake the meatloaf mixture in muffin tins instead of a giant loaf pan. Shake up the traditional meatloaf ingredients a little bit, and you’ve got a weeknight meal that packs great flavor and is ready to hit the table in less than an hour.

How To Create Your Own Recipes
Last year, I took an online cooking class taught by Jenny at Nourished Kitchen that revolutionized my cooking skills. Jenny is a home chef, a fellow Real Food Media blogger, and a farmer’s market manager. She’s also a top-notch teacher who can help you learn all the basics of how to cook nourishing, real foods easily in your own kitchen. What did Jenny do that no other online teacher has ever done for me?
She inspired me. One of the greatest benefits for me of taking her How To Cook Real Food class was actually learning how to not be dependent on recipes. Yes, the course included more than a hundred tried and true recipes that were easy to follow. But it also taught me how to develop my own recipes.
WINNER: Fermented Cod Liver Oil
It’s time to announce the winner of the Green Pastures Blue Ice Emulsified Fermented Cod Liver Oil! These emulsified oils are blended for a consistent, even flavor. And, the flavors were all kid-tested and approved. Emulsified flavors include Peppermint, Ginger, and Licorice. My own children love the Peppermint flavor.
Fight Back Friday September 2nd
Welcome back yet again to another Fight Back Friday! Today we are bringing together another collection of recipes, tips, anecdotes, and testimonies from members of the Real Food Revolution.
Who are they? Why, they’re the Food Renegades. You know who you are — lovers of SOLE (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical) food, traditional food, primal food, REAL food, the list goes on. I believe that by joining together, our influence can grow, and we can change the way America (and the industrialized world) eats!
So, let’s have some fun.
GIVEAWAY: Fermented Cod Liver Oil
As a superfood, fermented cod liver oil is rich in Vitamins A, D, and K. Since it is also a form of fish oil, fermented cod liver oil is also rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids. This Labor Day, I’m giving away a bottle of Green Pasture’s Blue Ice Emulsified Fermented Cod Liver Oil. The emulsified oil has one supreme advantage over the regular fermented oil: taste. These kid-tested and approved flavors beat the regular fermented cod liver oil in any face off.
