Turkey Meatloaf

I wish I had thought to get some photos of this delicious meatloaf but I didn't think about it, at the time. 1.5lbs ground turkey 1 carrot fine diced 1 sm onion fine diced 2 celery stalks fine diced 1 tbs olive oil 1 egg 1/2 c bread crumbs (I used whole wheat & panko) 1/2 c Parmesan cheese 3/4 c marinara sauce Lawry's garlic salt/parsley blend Honey bbq sauce Directions: Saute carrot, onion and celery in olive oil, until soft. Stir frequently to keep from burning. Set aside until cooled. Once veggies are cool mix together all ingredients, except for the bbq sauce. Shape mixture into a loaf. I like to do free-form instead of using a loaf pan. Top with bbq sauce Bake for 60minutes at 350. Internal temp should reach 165. I thought this came out really good! One of the best meatloaf recipes I've made.

Heartshaped Felt Catnip Mice

Image
I made these cute little heart shaped mice toys for my cats, today. My Krinny was all over them, right away. To make you will need: 2 sheets of felt in your choice of color. I did a dark grey and light pink. coordinating embroidery floss scissors sewing needle polyfil catnip Cut out heart shapes for body and smaller heart shapes for the interior body. I free-handed the hearts, instead of using a pattern. Cut out 2 strips of felt for the tail. Stitch smaller heart to larger heart, stitch on eyes with embroidery floss. Stitch front and back of the hearts together using a blanket stitch. I started at the tail and stitched that in first. Halfway through the blanket stitch I added the polyfil and catnip, then I finished stitching the hearts together. Easy project and fun for hours for my cats.
