Barbecue Cheddar Mini Meatloaves

Aug 30, 2016 2 Comments

Today marks the last guest post from friends and fellow moms who have so graciously shared their time and recipes with you all while I’ve spent time bonding with my growing family. In fact, it’s brought to you by my friend, Sonali, someone I consider to be supermom. Seriously. All you have to do is read her intro and you’ll call her that too! Take it away Sonali [superwoman, supermom, The Foodie Physician].

I’m so excited to be writing this guest post, as I’m a huge fan of Katie’s!  Just to let you know a little bit about myself, my name is Sonali- I’m an ER doctor, chef, and mom.  When I’m not running around the ER or chasing after my daughter, I’m sharing my latest kitchen creations and nutrition advice over at my blog, The Foodie Physician. When I thought about the best recipe to share with you all, these Barbecue Cheddar Mini Meatloaves came to mind because they are the are the perfect family-friendly meal.  These individual meatloaves are coated in sweet barbecue sauce and stuffed with ooey, gooey melted cheese- what’s not to love?!  Plus, they’re easy to make and they freeze well so you can make a large batch of them and heat them up on busy weeknights.

The truth is, it’s actually quite easy!

So whether you’re a new or well-seasoned parent, I hope you’ll check out my book and try out some of the recipes with your children.  And on that note, get your kids in the kitchen with you the next time you’re cooking dinner- it’s never too early to start.  By spending time together and teaching your children to cook, you’ll be giving them invaluable tools that they’ll use for the rest of their lives.  You’ll also be putting them on the path to lifelong good health and adventurous eating. Here’s a recipe from the book to get you and your kids cooking together.
