Tim: SHARING A RECIPE THAT
TASTES GREAT, SLICED RIGHT
SERVICES, REGISTERED DIETITIAN
CHRISTINA JOINING ME FROM HER
KITCHEN.
YOU'RE MAKING MEAT LOAF.
WHICH IS A STAPLE.
BUT THIS IS A SLIGHTLY ALTERED
ONE, I GUESS WE'LL SAY.
TALK US THROUGH WHAT YOU'RE
DOING.
Guest:
[INDECIPHERABLE]
Guest: IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE
HOW YOU CAN TAKE A SIMPLE RECIPE
THAT YOU MADE FOR AWHILE BUT
BUMP UP THAT NUTRITION A LOT.
I'M STARTING WITH THE MEAT.
HALF GROUND TURKEY AND GROUND
ROUND TO CUT THE FAT.
THE TURKEY TENDS TO BE DRIER.
SO I HAVE IT READY TO GO IN THE
BOWL.
BASICALLY WHAT I CHANGED OUT IS
INGREDIENTS THAT INCREASE THE
NUTRITIONAL CONTENT.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE
THINK ABOUT IS DRY INGREDIENTS.
BECAUSE OFTEN I HEAR BREAD
CRUMBS AND CRACKERS.
BOTH HAVE VERY LOW NUTRITIONAL
VALUE AND FIBER.
MY FIRST ISSUE IS
[INDECIPHERABLE]
I'M PUTTING THAT IN THERE.
I PULSE IT AND GET IT CHOPPED UP
SO YOU DON'T SEE THE OATS IN
THERE IF YOU HAVE PICKY EATERS.
MY NEW GO-TO IS SUN CHIPS.
Tim: REALLY?
Guest: THEY'RE NICELY
SEASONED.
THEY HAVE FIBER TO THEM.
AND THEY ALSO HAVE A NICE
CRUNCH, THAT EXTRA THAT YOU
NEED.
SO I SAVE THEM AND CRUNCH THEM
AND THROW THEM IN THE MEAT LOAF.
Tim: NEVER WOULD HAVE
EXPECTED SUN CHIP MEAT LOAF.
Guest: THAT'S ONE INGREDIENT
WE CAN CHANGE.
THE NEXT IS ADDING MORE FIBER
AND MINERAL CONTENT.
THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM
VEGETABLES.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE PUTS
VEGETABLES OFTEN IN THEIR MEAT
LOAF.
YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE GROCERY
STORE OR THE FREEZER OR GARDEN.
SOMETIMES THERE'S A DISCOUNT
PRODUCE THEY SELL AT A DISCOUNT.
TAKE IT HOME AND SHRED IT UP AND
THROW IT IN THE FREEZER.
THIS IS SOMETHING TO PLANT IN
THE GARDEN.
THIS IS HALF CUP OF SHREDDED
ZUCCHINI.
YOU CAN DO THAT OR CARROTS OR
VEGETABLES YOU HAVE ON HAND.
WINTER SQUASH WOULD BE GOOD,
TOO.
Tim: I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
SKYPE -- CHRISTINA, IS THAT BABY
FOOD?
IT IS.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE BABY FOOD, YOU
CAN USE REGULAR.
AND BACK THEM UP DEPENDING HOW
PICKY YOUR FAMILY IS.
THIS HAS MORE FIBER AND THICKER
CONSISTENCY SO YOU DON'T NEED AS
MUCH AS BREAD TO ADD TO.
AND IT WILL GIVE IT MORE
MOISTURE.
HALF A CUP OF THE SHREDDED -- OR
THE MASHED PEAS.
AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN ONE
EGG.
YOU CAN USE AN EGG BEATER OR A
REGULAR EGG.
AND MY SEASONING, I DO MINCED
ONION, SEASON SALT AND BLACK
PEPPER IN HERE.
I'M PUTTING THAT IN.
AND I'M ADDING KETCHUP.
IF YOU RUN OUT, YOU CAN EASILY
USE TOMATO SAUCE OR TOSS DICED
TOMATOES AND DRAIN THEM OFF
GOOD.
Tim: IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE HAVING FOR
DINNER TONIGHT?
Guest: YES, YOU ARE CORRECT.
Tim: SEE, YOU KILLED TWO
BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.
I LIKE IT.
Guest:
[INDECIPHERABLE]
THEY CAN WASH THEIR HANDS AND
GET IT MIXED UP.
Tim: YOU MIX IT UP LIKE A
MEAT LOAF AND PUT IT IN THE PAN
AND STICK IT IN THE OVEN.
Guest: LIKE REGULAR MEAT
LOAF.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ALSO AS I
MENTIONED, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
COOK IT RIGHT AWAY, YOU CAN
FREEZE IT.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PIECES OF
FOIL.
YOU CAN PUT IT IN SMALLER LOAFS
AND FREEZE IT FOR LATER.
YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE GRILL,
WHICH WOULD BE A GREAT NIGHT FOR
GRILLING.
THIS WOULD BE GREAT ON THE
GRILL.
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
AND COOK OUTSIDE.
Tim: WELL, WE HAVE THE FULL
RECIPE.
YOU'VE PROVIDED US THE SECRET
INGREDIENTS IN TERMS OF THE
RECIPE.
WE'LL PUT THIS ON OUR WEBSITE.
I'M GOING TO NAME THIS BABY
FOOD, ZUCCHINI, SUN CHIP MEAT
LOAF.
IT SOUNDS JUST AMAZING.
WE'LL HAVE THAT FOR YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
Tim: YOU CAN KEEP THAT NAME
IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
WE PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE.
