Meatloaf 2 in 1
Okay this is another "make one meal and use the leftovers the next day" meal.
Night 1 - meatloaf (I bought mine pre-made, feel free to share any good recipes for this since I have never made one!) with corn on the cob.
Save extra corn and meatloaf
Night 2 - Meat loaf cut up into chunks reheated in a pan on the stove top with red onions, pieces of cut off corn, sliced celery and salsa (lightly coat). Serve it with fresh avocado.
YUM!!!

Gratin-ishness (gluten-free)
I just recently tried a Potato, Tomato & Zucchini Gratin and I loved it! Well, it required me to whip out my mandolin (slices food very thin) and it inspired another recipe:
Yummy Southwest Bake
2 yams
2 potatoes (Yukon Gold)
1 red onion
1 pk of cooked back bacon, or turkey bacon, or something like that
salsa
sour cream (optional)
grated cheese (cheddar, mozza, parmesan, monterey jack)
On the thinnest setting, slice the first three ingredients and layer them on an angle (like dominoes that have been knocked down) in a roasting pan that has a bit of olive oil and minced garlic in the bottom. Add spices on top (I used Epicure Herb & Garlic), pepper, a coarse salt and wallop the sour cream, salsa and spread the cheese over it.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. If you used thicker slices, it might need a bit more time.
NOTE: If you have too many thin slices, do a second layer on TOP of the first layer and put the condiments on top of THAT layer.
You will thank me for this recipe!

Product Review: Vegenaise
Vegenaise - especially the grape seed one. It is WAY better than mayonnaise in my humble opinion and a good dairy free alternative.
Baked Salmon Meal
Ingredients:
1 boneless salmon, skin on (whatever size you need to feed your family)
4 tbsp of Vegenaise or Mayonnaise
1 tbsp of barbecue sauce
1 bunch of asparagus
2 tbsp of butter or earth balance
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, mix mayo & bbq sauce and slather on salmon, skin side down, in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15-20 mins. Let it sit for a few minutes and serve!
Break off the bottoms of asparagus, fry asparagus in a frying pan with some butter and minced garlic until tender, but still crunchy. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
Options:
Serve with potatoes (mashed, smashed, roasted, boiled - let me know what kind of recipe you want and I will post one)

Sausage Pasta
Ingredients:
1-2 packages of flavoured sausages (I got tomato basil this time, and italian another time)
1 jar/can of plain tomato sauce
1 bag of pasta (spaghetti, penne, rotini)
1 tub shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
squeeze sausage out of the casing into a frying pan and cook through. Add tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. In the mean time, cook pasta. Add cheese and serve.
EASY!
Tip: how to serve a sauce on pasta. Method 1 - add sauce to the entire pot of cooked pasta, Method 2 - add a bit of sauce to the pasta and stir to keep it separated and put a scoop of the sauce on top of the pasta in each plate. Method 3 - put a bit of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil in the pot of cooked pasta and stir and add the sauce to the top of each plate (one additional benefit to this is that the leftover pasta does not have any sauce on it and it's separated and ready to use for a different dish).
