One Local Summer Week Four

June 30, 2008

Meatloaf with roasted baby potatoes and string beans!  YUM! 

We went to the farmer’s market on Saturday and I was thrilled to pickup some local, grass fed meat.  mmmmmmm beef!  If I had more money, I would have gotten a lot more meat.  This week I plan to hit the farm directly and score some ribs and a few steaks, definitely more ground beef.  Maybe some pork chops too.  mmmm pork. 

Anyway, so I put together this little meal and it was delicious and really easy!

1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 medium onion diced
Parsley - chopped - not sure how much, I just eyed it
2 cloves garlic chopped

Directions for Meatloaf
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Then transfer to a loaf pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for an hour and ten minutes (I use a meat thermometer because I am anal about raw meat and germs, but an 1 and 10 should be enough time)

Ingredients for String Beans
String Beans
2 tablespoons butter

These Litter Chests are such a neat idea.  We’ve been trying to come up with a plan for the litter box in our new house and this seems like it would be a perfect fit.  Discreet, yet it does the job perfectly.  We’ll be adding this to our list of things to get for the new house.
