Low Carb Keto Meatloaf Recipe

Winter is here and now is the time to look for yummy home cooked meal recipes. I don’t know about you but I was running out of good meal options and wanted to find another use for ground meat. I decided meat loaf sounded good and came up with an awesome concoction of yummyness!

To be honest I googled and came up with some good options but decided to mix and match to make it more of my own version. Meatloaf is awesome because basically you brown meat and then throw spices in it! Not real hard and you do not have to be perfect but below is what I used for mine. My meatloaf had more of an Italian flare to it. Enjoy!

    2.) Once all items are mixed together spread it into a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used tin foil on mine and it worked great!) flatten the mixture inside the pan evenly.
    3.) After you have mixed all the ingredients together and flattened into the greased pan, pour the tomato sauce on top and garnish with the cheese.

Keto/Low Carb Butternut Squash Pasta Recipe

I love PASTA! But on a Keto/lowcarb diet it is not allowed. So finding a good alternative for pasta was very important to me. I always wanted to try Zoodles (zuccini noodles) or the butternut squash noodles and finally found them.

They are really good, if you are like me and you do not have a spiralizer then you can buy already made for you. I am all about convenience so to me the HEB butternut squash noodles was a great find! Most grocery stores have it so check for it in your produce section. Now onto the recipe! I am not a major cook but I did find some creative ways to make keto/lowcarb pasta. Below is one of my favorite recipes that I make on a regular basis. Enjoy!
