This meatloaf was surprisingly good! Never thought I’d like quinoa in it. 👍
Simple and healthy, but kinda bland. I added some chili flakes for a kick! 🌶️
Tried it and was disappointed. The quinoa didn’t mix well with the turkey. Maybe I’ll stick to traditional meatloaf.
Honestly, meatloaf should just be meat, right? Quinoa is overrated! I’ve tried it and sticking to just meat works better for me.
I totally get you! Quinoa can be a weird texture sometimes. Maybe try it with brown rice next time? I think it might blend better!
Yum! Even my kiddos loved it. It’s a keeper for sure! 😍
Meatloaf? Sounds kinda boring to me. 🤔
That’s awesome to hear! Kids can be picky eaters, so this is a real win! 😊
