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.

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!

I am making these Friday night. Stoked for it. Juli, your dance moves = poetry in motion. I’m ordering a shirt by the way.
Lol I officially love you for that comment Kevin. And thank you for your support!
Another yummy recipe!
I made these last night for some of my meals throughout the week. I like to cook in bulk, otherwise I have a tendency to eat things I shouldn’t. Main problem being is that when I cook your recipes, everybody eats it all and I rarely have leftovers! I let my kids have a couple last night and hid the rest, lol.
I just made these and they are absolutely outstanding!!! If I could stop eating them, then I could maybe get the feeling back in my mouth. I love the spicy kick! Thank you for this recipe
Okay – so I’m quite serious about that ass! Haha. So I wondered…do you know any website to by lululemon pants that ships to like…Denmark! 😀
Ps. found this blog today, and it’s the BEST – I’m so hooked. You will DEF be an inspiration for me from now on. So THANK you!
Love Carrie PaleoNewbe 😀
Loved this recipe but I was worried about it being too spicy so I halved the chili powder and cayenne amounts on both the meatloaf and the sauce. It still came out fiery and delicious. I also used Frank’s Red Hot buffalo sauce which is made of cayenne and it was solid.
Also for the sauce, I added 1 tablespoon of raw honey to give the heat and offsetting sweetness which was very nice.
All in all this recipe is amazeballs!
Kudos.
