The turkey mixture is my original meatloaf recipe, which you [...]

If you know me at all, you know Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. This year, since Halloween was on a Sunday, I managed to find a way a way to have three different costumes, yet completely forget to eat.

After going on two vacations and thus, needing a detox, I wanted to make something filling, yet low calorie to bring to work to eat for lunch. Now since I am not famous and do not get to claim “exhaustion” after too many vacations and getting fat from them and then get to hide away in a [...]
