I got home from work last night greatly anticipating having my home-made gluten-free meatloaf....I love meatloaf....the way I USED TO MAKE IT! I had to modify it by using gluten-free bread crumbs, and other seasonings. I was disappointed at how dry it was. The flavor was just OK.... nothing to write home about. Maybe the gluten-free bread crumbs absorb more of the grease from the ground beef? Maybe I need to use less of them? And maybe REAL chopped onions and peppers instead of the freeze dried ones from the spice rack? And maybe add more ketchup... it just seemed to be VERY bland and flavorless.... I guess the packet of Lipton onion soup mix I used to use had a lot more 'stuff' in it for falvor than I thought? Is this how eating will be from now on?? I know.... it's only been a week since my diagnosis and I have a lot of learning to do....I guess I must be patient and good things will come to those who wait?? Anyway, today is my day off so I will spend some time cleaning....no yard work because it is raining VERY hard here today...and supposed to have high winds so my time will be spent indoors....and online checking recipies. Have a great day everyone
