Last night I cooked “for real”, meaning that I made more than one dish from scratch. I was able to do this partially during naptime and partially while Little Lady crawled and cruised around holding onto things downstairs.

What did I make? Totally “fake” food! Vegetarian meatloaf (not “real” meat) and mashed cauliflower (instead of mashed potatoes, of course!).

I think it turned out pretty well, although not much to look at (or I’m a terrible photographer…).

The vegetarian meatloaf recipe is from Pinterest.

The Smashed Cauliflower Recipe is from my favorite, Allrecipes.com.

I’d highly recommend this “fake” meal! The leftover meatloaf makes a yummy sandwich on a whole wheat hamburger bun with some cheddar cheese and pickle slices.
