And A-Weigh We Go!!

First of all let me apologize for not blogging in soooooo long. We moved in November...back to my hometown (YAY!!), and as you can imagine with a new house, husband, and a three and a half year old, things have been CRAZY! But in the most awesome way of course.

Two weeks ago I decided to recommit to Weight Watchers. (This is my 4th go round ya'll (smh)). In the last two weeks I have lost 2.8lbs but find myself reaching for more fruits and veggies than ever before, so hey maybe this things working.

From this point on, along with details of my weight loss journey I plan to bring you good ole southern recipes with a little tweaking to make them more figure friendly. Don't worry I'll still be crafting and tellin' stories to. :)

OK...Our first recipe is (drumroll please)....... A1 MEATLOAF. So delicious and sooooo comforting.

I do this for my family of three but I have made the same amount and served up to 5 people. A serving size is one slice.

1lb lean ground beef (I used 90/10)
1 egg
1/4c Panko bread crumbs
2tbsp A1 steak sauce
Additional 2 tbsp A1 for topping

Mix beef, egg, bread crumbs, and A1 with hands until thoroughly combined. Spray loaf pan with nonstick spray and press beef mixture into pan. Bake at 350* for 45 minutes. Top with additional A1 and bake another 15 minutes.

*I also add dehydrated onions to this (but shhhh don't tell my hubby :))

You should be able to get 6 slices out of this and each slice is 7 PP. YUM YUM!!
