Рецепт Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
This low carb meatloaf is the perfect comfort food for this time of year. It’s hard to go wrong with bacon wrapped meatloaf in my family!
So, I think I mentioned that I went on a cruise last week?
Hmm? Maybe? Just once or twice?
I mean, look:
How could I not talk about that view until I’m blue in the face?
I was invited by Princess Cruises to attend a culinary cruise along the California coast. A culinary cruise. Do you know what that means? It means that I more or less did nothing but eat.
Oh, did I mention that Cat Cora was there? Because she was. She took us on a little tour of Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard in Santa Barbara. So, in addition to all of the eating, I also did all of the drinking. With Cat Cora. Like, woah. It was awesome. My job blows my mind sometimes.
I took my high school BFF, Courtney, with me on the cruise and we hung out with some fabulous bloggers and the lovely lady behind Princess’ social media accounts. Follow Princess Cruises on Instagram. I promise you’ll be imagining yourself lying on the lido deck, drink in hand, listening to the sounds of the ocean in no time.
This was my first time sailing with Princess and I was really impressed. The Ruby Princess was a beautiful ship with some amazing restaurants. I even got to experience the Chef’s Table dinner, which I will tell you all about in another post. Spoiler alert: It was amazing. Appetizers galore. The creamiest risotto I’ve ever eaten. Veal shank. Beef tenderloin. And so much dessert that I nearly burst.
So, now that I’m no longer living in the land of oh-so-fancy dining, I am back to my comfort foods. I sure do miss the olive tapenade onion tart I enjoyed for lunch at Fess Parker (would you like me to recreate that for you?!), but this low carb meatloaf will do. Obviously, I didn’t even attempt to eat low carb while traveling. That would have been torture. But, I’m home now and I need to get my butt back on the wagon.
This meatloaf is moist and juicy and covered in bacon, because bacon. The sweet and tangy sauce on top is my favorite part, as it is with all meatloaf. Serve this bacon wrapped meatloaf with a side of my low carb cauliflower potato salad and my bacon green beans!
