Monday Menu Planning & Meatloaf Cupcakes

Hadley is down for an extremely early nap. Sweet little baby... this weekend wore her out!


So now I am sitting down to menu plan for this week because I neglected to do so before we left town last week. And, well.. the cupboards are bare.


Here is a household favorite we enjoyed last week...

Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato Frosting
Barely adapted from: Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes


Meatloaf Cupcakes:

• 1.25 lb of 93% lean ground turkey
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 3 tbsp onion, minced
• 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs {We sometimes use oats}
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 egg
• 1tsp kosher salt

Mashed Potato Frosting:

• 1 lb (about 2-3 medium) gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
• 2 tbsp fat free sour cream
• 2 tbsp fat free chicken broth
• 1 tbsp almond milk {or regular}
• 1/2 tbsp butter
• kosher salt to taste
• dash fresh ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme

::Preheat the oven to 350 degress, and line a muffin tine with foil. 

:: Peel and cube potatoes, then place with garlic in a large pot with a pinch of salt and enough water to cover. Bring to boil; cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

::In a large bow, mix the turkey, zucchini, onoin, breadcrumbs, ketchup, egg, and salt. Use an ice-cream scoop to place the meatloaf mixture into the muffin tins. Flatten down the top of each cupcake with a fork. Bake uncovered for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from tins and place onto serving tray.

:: Drain and then return the potatoes and garlic to pot. Add sour cream and the remaining ingredients, and then mash until smooth. Season with salt & pepper. 

:: Pipe the potato frosting onto the meatloaf cupcakes and serve. {We usually pair these with green beans and steamed broccoli}

Yum!
