I don't bother "stuffing" or "wrapping" the meatloaf - too fiddly for me.  But the recipe is delicious and moist, and leftovers are really nice sliced on sandwiches.

I've noticed through there are a few consultants who provide free newsletters to customers.  For those with consultants who don't have the same follow up service, are there any consultants who are happy to share their news with others?

These were so easy and delicious.  They would have to be cheaper than bought meatballs, let alone healthier as they're baked in the oven.  The mixture would probably make great hamburger patties.  And I reckon the recipe could easily be adapted for beef mince, maybe with semi-dried tomatoes, capsicum, mushrooms - whatever takes your fancy.  YUM

I made the meatloaf with red sauce.  The meatloaf was delicious, even not stuffed and not wrapped (too fiddly for me).

But the red sauce, not for me!  It was very sweet, almost marmalady (if that's a word).  What I'd love is a good tomato based sauce.  I could try the red sauce without the sweet potato as I think that was the problem.

Any ideas to share?

Tips/Hints:
The original recipe includes dried peaches, but I've never seen them and it's fine without.  You can add or omit whichever ingredients you like, but I try and keep approximate dry/wet/fruit etc ratios the same.  Eg exchange nut type with another nut etc.

You can chop the nuts etc as small or as big as you like.  My kids are still getting used to the texture, but I'll gradually make them more crunchy.

I make this recipe about once a fortnight and usually give away half each batch.
