Written by Just finished a quick 30 minute run to get my workout in before the end of the day. There is nothing quite like a late afternoon run this time of year. Crisp fresh air, a clear blue sky and a fading sun approaching the green hills of San Mateo. It made me feel like I was in a different world or at least not in the same world I was a few hours ago at the office. To top it off, James Taylor’s “Carolina in my mind” was playing on my Ipod. Wow, I feel great and it only took 30 minutes! What a relaxing, stress relieving run.

Now time to make some turkey meatloaf before I go pick up the kids. Takes about 10 min to prepare and 40 – 60 min to cook:
1 package of lean turkey meat (not extra lean – too dry)
1 tsp chicken instant bouillon
1/2 cup salsa
3/4 cups dry oats (oatmeal)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg white
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything in a bowl. Spray 8X4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Cook for 40 min in a convection oven or 60 min in a regular oven. Serve with an extra scoop of salsa. Add steamed green beans or broccoli and you’ve got an easy healthy meal. Even my 3 year old loves this dish!
