Brain Meatloaf

October 3, 2021 Amanda Plott
brain-meatloaf7.jpg

I’ve taken my classic meatloaf recipe and molded it into the shape of a brain for a fun Halloween inspired twist. My meatloaf is made with plenty of vegetables loaded into it, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini too! So it’s healthified and lightened up while still being scary good.

Usually meatloaf is made with ketchup, but I decided to use tomato sauce and tomato paste along with salt and pepper to lower the amount of sugar and also to be able to control the level of salt. It’s a good little swap that doesn’t effect the taste or texture and gives you a lot more bang for your buck!

Spooky 'Monster' Tacos

September 20, 2018 Amanda Plott

Cooler weather is coming… Halloween is coming! And being as it is my most favorite holiday, I’ve got to have some fun with it. I’ll be honest in saying that these are my standard, average, run-of-the-mill tacos that I make using extra lean ground beef and just a few other notable swaps along the way.

This time of year though? I like to make them a little spooky! With a few dollops of Greek yogurt, plain Jane tacos turn into MONSTER tacos! Mauahahaha. I’m so in love with Halloween that I made these tacos whilst in the middle of a horrible back spasm. Tacos are awesome as they are. But, cute tacos always win.

Scary Good Stuffed Meatballs & Garlicky Sauce (Crock Pot)

October 24, 2015 Amanda Plott

One of my more favorite recipes here is one that is about two years old now. It's a tried and true recipe that I've kept in my back pocket and used numerous times over the years. With Halloween getting closer and closer, I decided to take that recipe out, dust it off, and give it a good scary once over.

A while back now, I had heard of these wonderful cheese stuffed meatballs and just knew that it was something that I had to give a try. So, I thought what better time than now? To make these meatballs even more scary good, I used both ground meat and hot sausage to give that nice little bit of heat. I also wanted to keep the vampires at bay, so I was sure to make the sauce garlicky...
