Cajun Mini Meatloaf & Cauliflower Garlic Mash


Cajun Mini Meatloaf with Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
My Notes: Cut back on the spices just a bit for the Meatloaf and let the roasted garlic cool almost completely to get out all the garlic.  You will have to heat the califlower up again in the mircowave, but it will be worth it.

My Notes:  I have not made these yet.  These are next on my list!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup organic shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cups coconut oil
  • 3-4 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 bars of organic fair trade dark chocolate

Step 1: Using a small saucepan, gently heat coconut oil and shredded coconut on low heat. The shredded coconut will begin to 'puff up after a few minutes in the warm oil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: In a food processor, process dates, vanilla and salt until creamy and smooth.

Step 3: Mix coconut mixture with date mixture. Pour into a small, bread loaf size pan. Place in freezer for an hour or until set.

Step 4: Gently heat dark chocolate in a small saucepan onlowlieat. You can also use a double broiler to melt the chocolate. While chocolate is melting, cut the coconut candy into 'mound" size pieces.
