Fill a large mug almost to the top with pure tomato juice. Add a bit of milk until it looks creamy enough (or you could add some water too to tone it down).
Add:
seasoning salt
garlic powder
basil
pepper
hot pepper sauce
Microwave on medium power (so the milk doesn't curdle, but even if it does it still tastes good). Drink it up with a slice of whole wheat toast, a slice of cheese, and you have a full meal deal. What a great way to get a big serving of veggies in! This will be my new handy lunch.

Stuffed Italian Meatloaf
1 lb. ground beef or turkey (I used turkey and it's fine if it's good quality)
1 egg
1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs
Worcestershire sauce
ketchup
mustard
1/4 c. chopped onion
garlic powder
salt
pepper
Italian seasoning
Mix together and put half the mixture into a loaf pan. Push some of it up the sides of the pan a bit to make room for the filling.
Filling:
1/2-3/4 c. ricotta cheese
Italian seasoning
garlic salt
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
Put filling on first layer of meat and then put the rest of the meat on top of the filling. Squirt a little ketchup on top and sprinkle on some garlic powder and a little more Italian seasoning. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Yes, I did make this up and I didn't measure so you're guess is almost as good as mine. Just make meatloaf like you know how, except use these general ingredients. You won't be sorry. If you are, just don't ever make it again. Also, treat it well by serving it with mashed potatoes.

Breakfast Casserole
3 cups hashbrowns (thawed, if using frozen)
1 1/2 cups ham or 1 lb. sausage
1 1/2 cups shredded Colby cheese
Onion flakes or onion to taste
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
Mix hashbrowns, ham, cheese, and onion flakes together. Beat eggs and milk; add salt and mix together. Pour mixture in greased pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour.
Note: this is all the info the recipe gives. If you put this into a 9x13 it will be kind of thin, but it works. Also, it serves about 5 people. It works fine to double it, put it in a 9x13 and bake it just 5 or 10 minutes longer. And, last but not least, I've never bothered with onions of any sort and it still tastes great.
