Meat Mains
Meat Loaf ‘Muffins’
From: Dietitians of Canada’s Cook Great Food
A great way to prepare this classic dish! It’s especially good for little-ones who love mini items made “just for me”. Also, it’s handy for freezing and re-heating in individual portions.
Ingredients
| 1.5 pounds | lean ground beef |
| 3/4 cup | oatmeal or dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs |
| 1/4 cup | wheat bran |
| 1 can (5.4oz/ 160mL) | 2% evaporated milk |
| 1 | egg, beaten |
| 1 teaspoon | chilli powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon | garlic powder |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| ¼ teaspoon | black pepper |
| 1.5 cups | barbeque sauce |
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine beaten egg, ground beef, oatmeal, bran, milk, chilli powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, pressing down lightly.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of barbeque sauce over top of each muffin.
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the centre.
Note: Pay very close attention to the evaporated milk. Note the size of the can (it's very small) and be sure that you're buying evaporated milk - NOT sweetened condensed milk.

TESTIMONIALS
I was fairly confident that I was on the right track with feeding my toddler; but, I have a mother-in-law who was very insistent on her "Old World" beliefs about nutrition. Kristen came to do an in-home session with us and it was such a wonderful, positive experience. Kristen pointed out some things that my husband and I hadn't realized before (e.g. we engaged in too much "food talk" with our toddler). But, most importantly, she helped back up my assertions that my MIL's Old World ways of feeding were not healthy and potentially damaging to our son's relationship with food and eating. My MIL is now on board and my toddler eats the same way with her as he does with us! I so enjoyed and valued Kristen's visit that I've been recommending her in-home consultations and workshops to all the moms I know!

I attended a picky eater's workshop with Kristen because both of my kids were not eating enough, or the right things, which resulted in visits to the Pediatrician. The workshop taught me two concepts which cross my mind everyday as I plan and prepare meals for my toddlers. Attending the workshop gave me the confidence in knowing that I am capable of feeding and raising happy eaters. There have been no more visits to the Pediatrician since, thank you Kristen!

When I started to research introducing solid foods to my daughter, I came across so much information. I was looking for a simple, no nonsense approach and got exactly that with Vitamin K. I attended Baby meets Broccoli and loved Kristen's approach to food and feeding little ones. My nine month old now eats a wide variety of foods (much to the surprise of fellow parents) and loves to feed herself. The workshop gave me all the info I needed to get us off to the right start.
