Meatloaves? Meatloafs? I don’t like how meatloaves looks. The word. I’m not writing that as my recipe name. It kinda creeps me out.
I went out this weekend. Well, kind of. I first went out to lunch at The Crushery (pretty much my fav restaurant) with Rj and Clark. I made myself blueberry honey chai coconut milk ice cream. I ate all of mine. The guys didn’t finish theirs. The disappoint that fills my loins is unbelievable. I don’t know what I just said. But pretty much they are p*ssys. It’s just fact. Sorry boys.
Then the night came. It was Sarah’s bday and I was totally down to do whatever she wanted. Then I worked out, sat on the couch for an hour because I thought I was going to die, then dragged myself to the shower, then put my workout pants back on (I know I’m gross but spandex are my life) then styled my hair, then went to Sarah’s house, then I sat down. Big mistake. I had been up since 4:20 am and was absolutely exhausted. I made it until 11pm. Then had to go home and pass out. Fail. I suck as a best friend. Then Laura and Steph had to take a cab ride home…from less than 2 miles away. I suck as a roommate.
Then I finished my weekend off with make paleo banana bread french toast. I literally love myself for making this. I’m not joking. Somebody has got to love me so it has to be myself. I’m so narcissistic.
Then I got to meet with Greg from Renegade Fitness and asked him about making mens shirts. I have wanted to make guys shirts for a while BUT the majority of my readers (or at least the people who comment) are women soooooo it’s hard to figure out if they would sell. So I gotta ask you now, if I had guy shirts available, would you buy one!? Or would you buy one for your husband or boyfriend or best friend?
Please let me know in the comments because I need proof that at least more than 10 men read my blog. Pleasepleasepleaseplease. And thank you.
Guess what else I got for ya?! A humiliating cooking video!! Yes, I do dance. Yes, I wear sunglasses while I dance. Yes, I look very pale. Please just support the cause. The mini meatloaves. There I said it. I hated every second of it.

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- First you gotta make your meatloaf. In a pot or pan, add your coconut oil and minced garlic.
- When garlic becomes fragrant, add your onion and green pepper to cook down until onion becomes translucent. Then remove from heat to cool.
- While veggies cool, add your ground beef and andouille sausage to a large bowl, then add your cooled veggies, eggs, almond flour and the rest of your spices.
- Use your hands or a spoon to combine all the ingredients.
- Press meat mixture into your muffin tin. If you are using silicone liners, you won’t have to grease them but if you are not, grease your muffin tin.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- While your mini little guys are cooking, make your sauce.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your saucepan, add your minced garlic and minced onion to begin to cook down.
- Once the onion is translucent, add your tomato sauce, hot sauce, and seasonings to cooking on low and thicken.
- Once the little meat packages are done, top them off with your sauce!
- Eat!!
OMG! I got to tell you, I loved the recipe but the dancing was the best part! Great moves, we don’t need Beyonce if we got Juli.
Lol you are awesome Rayssa.
Yes, I want a women’s shirt for me and one for my husband. But I would REALLY love one of you classic snarky comments on a shirt. We should all vote on which comment should go on the shirt (men’s and women’s design). Yes, that’s what you should do, ready GO!
Your dancing is LEGIT! & I second on wanting your butt, haha Love the video. I’ll make this recipe after I make the 5,000 other ones I’m planning on making, lol
Lol you’re too kind Chrissy! Hope you like it!
I’d buy a shirt whether it be black or camo. If it’s a black camo shirt, I’ll buy 2.
You’re so awesome Kevin. It’s been too long since we’ve chatted
Great video!!! A natural now… look out Bobby Flay! I can’t wait to make these… they sound amazing! So convenient too! I have GOT to track down some of those silicone cups… can’t seem to find them anywhere around here!
Lol totally Bobby Flay, minus the skills, technique, and comfort on screen lol. Definitely try this recipe out! And you can buy those online. Just google silicone muffin tin liners and some will pop up!
I love how you called the men in your life ‘pussies’ for not finishing your ice cream. It’s something I would do. Get out of my head, woman!!!
Kate Bridges has an awesome idea!
Food process is a VERB!
“blah blah blah…it just won’t food process”
Just typing it, I’m giggling so hard, I may cry!
<3 u Juli!!!
It’s true. It is a verb.
Read your blog routinely and would most likely buy a shirt.
You’re awesome Daimon 🙂
annnnndddddd, my wife is in the market for new workout gear after having our 2nd child so thanks for the Lululemon recommendation. I am researching right now.
She will LOVE it!!
Juli, I’m tall and skinny. What size tank would fit?
I’m used to American Apparel sizes :-]
I would say a small. My roommate is the same tall and skinny frame
Id sport a tee…thanks for providing me at least one meal a week!
Glad you’re trying out the recipe TJ! Thanks for checking out my website!
Though keep in mind I am not the size of your typical crossfiter…the small and extra mediums will not work for a kid
We have all different size TJ, don’t your worry!
