(Serves 6-8)
Ingredients:
5-6 medium red potatoes, unpeeled and cut into chunks
1 cup half-and-half or milk
4 ounces unsalted butter
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Cook the potatoes in simmering water until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the half and half with the butter, until the butter melts. Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes. Use a potato masher to coarsely mash the potatoes.

Florentine Meatloaf
(Serves 4-6)
Florentine Meatloaf
This meatloaf is flavored with spinach, onions, and garlic and a wonderful combination of
Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. It is moist and packed with flavor. The recipe can also be made with 1 pound of ground chicken or turkey in place of the ground beef and pork.
Ingredients:
4 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces ground beef chuck
8 ounces ground pork
2/3 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
Glaze:
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
Place spinach in a skillet over medium heat. Allow spinach to wilt, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water. Spread spinach on a paper towel to dry.
Add onion, garlic, and oil to the skillet. Saute until onion is tender, 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the beef and pork. Add the spinach and cooled onion mixture. Add all remaining ingredients. Blend well with your hands.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it. Form the meat mixture into a loaf, about 4 x 8-inches. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Brush the glaze all over the meat loaf. Bake 50 - 55 minutes or until the internal temperature is 155-160 degrees F. Allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
