The Thunder Rolls...

Ding dong the witch is dead, the storms are finally over!  For anyone reading this that is not in the NKY area, the past 2 nights have been quite active.  With 65-75mph winds, hail, thunder, lightning and tornadoes - not much sleep has been had in my house.  Last night was worse with the sirens going off and we actually went to our basement for about an hour during the brunt of the storm.  SO needless to say, I got almost no sleep last night, which also means that I did not make it to the gym this morning.  I'm totally bummed about not going but when I go to sleep after 2am and my alarm is set for 4:30, it's just not happening.  This week started off bad with missing gym time on Monday and it hasn't improved much since :(
There's  a spinning class at 6 tonight that I would love to catch- but 6 is nearly impossible for me to get to when I don't get home from work until almost 5:30 and I have to cook dinner for my family.  Either way, I'm going to bed super early tonight and will DEFINITELY be going to the gym in the morning.

Dinner last night was yummy, we had mini turkey meatloaves with roasted vegetables and biscuits(terrible, I know!).
Recipe:
Meatloaves:
11/4 lb Ground Turkey, thawed
1 medium onion, diced
1tsp EVOO
5oz Baby Spinach, chopped
1 piece WW Bread
1/2c Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (or skim milk)
2tbs Grated Parmesan
1tsp Dried Parsley
1tsp Dried Oregano
1tsp Granulated Garlic
2 Egg whites
Veggies:
6(or so) stalks Asparagus, chopped
1 Sweet Potato, shopped
1c Baby Carrots, chopped
1tbs EVOO
1tsp Granulated Garlic
1tsp Dried Parsley
1tsp Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
Glaze:
3tbs Ketchup
2tsp Worchestershire Sauce
1tsp Hot Sauce (or to taste)
1/2tsp Granulated Garlic

*Pre-heat oven to 375f

For the Meatloaf:
-Heat EVOO in skillet and add diced onion, cook until softened - about 5 minutes.
-Grind bread in food processor until fine, put in large bowl and add chicken brother(or milk).
-After onions are softened, add chopped spinach and cook until wilted (30s - 1m)
-Add onions and spinach to bowl with soaked breadcrumbs
-Add turkey, cheese, egg, parsley, oregano, and garlic - mix with your hands until combined. Mixture will be quite moist.
-Use a 1cup dry measuring cup to portion and on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (rec. spraying w/ cooking spray), place individual meatloaves with enough space to cook evenly. (just not touching)
-Bake in pre-heated oven until cooked, approx 40-45 minutes

For the Veggies:
-Chop all veggies and toss in a bowl with EVOO, chili powder, garlic, parsley and s&p. 
-Pour into foil-lined roasting pan and roast for approx 30-35 minutes.  If you put this on the same shelf as the meatloaves, just be sure the pans are not touching.

For the Glaze:
-Mix ingredients in bowl and about 3-5 minutes before meatloaves come out of the oven, brush over top of loaves and finish cooking.

Enjoy!  Totally yummy and I loved the idea of doing the individual meatloaves to help with portion control!
