The recipe came about because I just bought these colorful silicone baking liners and wanted an excuse to use them.
I am a huge fan of making mini meatloaves because I find it way easier than having to roll out meatballs and it is a great way to use up any leftover veggies you have in the fridge. For this recipe I used zucchini and summer squash that I diced up small but it would work great in zoodle form as well.
Some of my other favorite veggie mix-ins include spinach, broccoli and cheddar, tomato basil mozzarella. You can get super creative with this!!
This was my first time using silicone baking liners and I couldn’t resist these bright neon ones since I am pretty much obsessed with anything and everything I can get my hands on that is neon. The whole need for silicone liners started a few weeks ago when I made some egg cups to have as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack for added protein and although I sprayed the pan, they egg cups stuck so bad they ruined my tin and I had to throw it out. So thanks to some suggestions from friends I learned about these silicone liners and they work GREAT! I am thrilled they are just as vibrant in real life as they are in the picture.
