Mama Llama's Meatloaf

My mom asked me to find a really great meatloaf recipe - a healthier alternative to the one she makes.  But hers is so perfect!  So I'm putting hers up here with a few notes and adjustments.  Thanks mom!

2 pounds grass-fed beef hamburger or ground bison
Half cup rolled oats
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
Medium onion chopped well
1/4 t fresh ground black pepper
One egg
1/2 small can of organic tomato sauce
Mix well and form into a loaf in a baking pan
Pour remainder of tomato sauce on top
Bake at 350 till done

I think it is worth mentioning that meatloaf isn't unhealthy.  What is unhealthy or healthy is the quality of ingredients we use and our eating habits.  Having a delicious meat dish made with ingredients that were humanely and environmentally raised a couple times a week is good for our bodies, as long as we are conscious of what we are eating and honoring the life that was given for us.  Eating meat and white carbs every day and eating portions too big for our bodies and needs is not healthy.  Balance is nature's most beautiful dance.  Balancing our meatloaf intake with fresh salads, whole grains, and an apple a day ensures our health and the health of our beloved Gaia.
