Mishka and Meatloaf

We’re getting ready for our annual trek to the gorgeous Taos, New Mexico, and our Pomhuahua (Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix) Mishka decided to stow away in our ski gear. I hate to leave the puppies at the vet for boarding, but I know they’ll be taken care of. Still, I can’t help but feel guilty about leaving my baby in a kennel in South Austin. :(

In preparation for our gluttonous week in Taos, (Taos is home to several amazing restaurants, which — don’t tell my hubby — is the real attraction for me, not the skiing!) we’ve been doing some low-cal, hum-drum dinners this week, along with our usual high-fiber cereal in the morning with coffee (for the Mr.) and tea (for me).

Last night’s dinner was a favorite low-cal dinner, meatloaf with mashed potatoes from Real Simple Magazine.

At only 376 calories, and 30 grams of protein, this is the ideal meal for us during ski-prep workout weeks. It’s less meaty with the addition of spinach and onions (though, I subbed shallots since we had some on hand). To add nutrition and cut down on carbs, I always sub cauliflower for potatoes. I also added some sauteed broccoli with lemon for some green. Yum!
