I have been buying Thrive Life for about six months now, because of the ideas you have shared! This has changed how I cook! I never need to toss out produce because I didn’t use it on time, so am actually buying what I use and using what I buy, never wasting unused food items, with a little experimenting I have figured out how much of everything to rehydrate and nothing goes to waste! Because I now cook 95% of my meals, they are much healthier then always buying out I have lost 45 lbs in about five months. Thank you for sharing Thrive Life experience, not just for long term storage but daily use.
I have shared this comment with some of the executives at Thrive Life. They absolutely love it! They would like your permission to use this testimonial for some of their corporate advertising. (If that's okay, they were hoping to get your first name and last initial. If you don't want to give that here, you can email me your response at billk@kelleremail.com) We would really appreciate it!
That meatloaf looks absolutely delicious! I LOVE meatloaf! When I was expecting my first baby, I craved meatloaf. Lol! I love how Elizabeth takes the time to explain everything in detail! I wouldn’t care if it took an hour to get through watching a video recipe! I appreciate the detailed explanations and also how Elizabeth throws in her childhood memories! It’s like cooking with a friend. Can’t wait for the next cooking video! Thanks for all y’all do. Have a very blessed day! Love and prayers to all.
I love thrive life because I am single. I don't waste anything and I always have it right there for me. I am going to try this meatloaf because it looks soooo good. I was a consultant for a while, but I am not a salesman. lol But I use the product all the time. It is expensive, but I tell you, it goes a long way and it's totally worth it. So happy I found you guys.
Your meatloaf mix (and any other freeze-dried item) would be great to take on your extended travel trailer trip! Looks delicious! I bet you are especially glad to have all your freeze-dried items in your pantry available for when this winter storm hit this past weekend!
That meatloaf looks delicious! I love, love, love your countertop! I love the swirls in the grain! That kitchen is really shaping up to be stunning! I am so happy for the two of you getting that house! Your resourceful hubby has been making fantastic improvements on the house and making it even better! The two of you have made it into a cozy home filled with love and good food!
Meatloaf looks delicious, will surely try. Above all I feel God's blessings and grace upon both of you. May the good Lord continue to use you for His glory. How beautiful you convey God's love through your videos. Lots of love
I'll have to try your recipe it looks delicious. My meatloaf passed down from others is 2 lbs chopped meat, 1 can Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable Soup, tablespoon of dried minced onion, handful of Italian breadcrumbs and Cornflake Crumbs, a tablespoon of Ketchup and a cup of chopped mushrooms. Mix all together place in loaf pan and bake at 350 for about an hour.and 15 mins. It's really delicious!
If you thrift shop for pans that overlap your burners by half an inch all around, you will save energy and the food will cook better. Make sure they are very think bottomed and you can simmer for long periods without scorching. It took me a couple of years but I found a lovely pot for each burner and even a large and medium stock pot too.
I am now sitting here in NC at 6am, wishing I had some of your delicious meatloaf to eat.😀😋 Your recipe sounds (and looks) delicious...thanks for sharing! So glad you & Bill are felling better.💞
My Betty Crocker cookbook. Is 47 years old. But my moms meatloaf recipe is much older! It’s the same as yours 😉 meatloaf was often a Sunday dinner entree and the smell of the “picant” sauce as we came in the house, still is my favorite part ❤️
I thank God for you both. I can see and feel God's presence and peace over y'all. Thank you for sharing part of your lives with us. We are bless from it!!! God bless!!🙏🏼💖
I still make my meatloaf but I do one thing different you might want to try I use a muffin pan and make mini meatloaf. You can pop it in the oven and have it quicker rather than have leftover sitting around of course leftovers are good. It also helps me not overeat the amount of proteins I should have in a day. Thank you again glad to see you're up I hope you are feeling better 🙏🙌💕💯
I did not grow up eating meatloaf.. had it as an adult and just love it, but have always been intimidated to make it. You make this looks so simple. I am going to try your recipe.. love the Thrive products.
So cute. Such a nice story about rediscovering your meatloaf recipe. It’s totally understandable that you are protective of and want to take proper care of your gorgeous counter tops, but I had thought that one of the draws of granite is that it is mostly indestructible, unlike the regular laminate kind that have to be babied to last. Thanks for sharing.
I just began to buy Thrive Life this past fall thanks to your videos. I love meatloaf and I need to try your recipe with my Thrive Life. I am saving all your recipes. Keep them coming. Thanks and I will continue to be a fan of Thrive Life. It beats buying and cutting up all the fresh veggies.
Looked yummy! Always grateful for gluten-free ingredients. With Laurie being ill, it looked simple enough for me to do also. BTW, flattering "do" for Elizabeth... 😊
That looks delicious! I have never used oats as a binding agent but now will try them. I agree with you, Elizabeth, in that I like my meatloaf loaded with vegetables too. Great, easy meal for these cold winter days.
I am admiring both the granite countertop and the fresh hairdo. Bill, please record the installation of your reverse osmosis filter. I am considering replacing my old filter soon and would like to learn how to install a new one. I love Thrive Life foods!
That looks so good! Here's a chef's tip: add about 1 tsp or so of vinegar to the piquant sauce. Like the mustard, be careful cause it will dominate if you add too much. But boy oh boy does it give it that special something, something to the sauce! I have also used dry mustard too. Hugs, love and blessings to you two ♥️
The new kitchen is looking great. I love the curtains . I’m going to start buying thrive I think it’s cost effective and good to have on hand in case of power outages or disaster . I’m glad to see both you are feeling better . God bless you Elizabeth and Bill.
That is such a cute story behind the meatloaf and the sauce recipe. I've been saving my Thrive products for future soups during hard times but I love getting ideas like this for alternate uses. Thank you, Elizabeth.
God afternoon woman of God. Sooo glad to see you up and about again. Love myself some meatloaf sandwiches and I'm sure your meatloaf is yum-O! Blessings and 💕☺
We call it it pepper powder, also the celery ,mushrooms and onions any bottom powder gets added to soups , stews and sauces, tacos,etc. Great for those who have little ones who don't like vegies. Never throw out any crumbs/powder from thrive foods, there is a use for it all!
Elizabeth, as a diabetic, I use alternative sweeteners all the time and I have found a sweetener that I can use for all my baking called Swerve. it is made with erythretol (hope I’m spelling that right). It is a natural sweetener that doesn’t raise my blood sugar level. It comes in confectioner’s, granualated and a brown sugar version. I have tried monkfruit (in my journey to find an alternative sweetener that suits my tastes) and I find it to be too sweet to me. There is no aftertaste to Swerve, although if you use the granulated for baking, I would suggest that you put it in a grinder first because after baking, it tends to crystallize and has a crunchy taste. The grinding helps to eliminate that. But the brown sugar version is great if you want to go back to using brown sugar in your sauce. Your recipe looks great and I have tried a couple of your recipes before and loved them. You and Bill take care and stay safe.
Have never used the Thrive...have always used fresh organic vegetables but after seeing this I will order some and I will certainly try Elizabeth's meatloaf recipe...thanks for sharing X
The wife and I watched this yesterday and we were both intrigued. We have been stocking up on Thrive Life as an emergency prep but still eating from our garden. We recently opened our first pantry can of mushrooms (shortage in the stores) and I'll admit I was dismayed to see powdery bits on the bottom. What a nice surprise to see those bits have their own special use! Guess what we're having tonight.😉
I like my meatloaf, but I usually don't know what to use as a topping. I'll try this. I also like a tad of mustard on barbecue chicken. It really adds a yummy flavor!
That recipe looked absolutely delicious Elizabeth!!!! Will definitely be giving that a try in the near future. Normally I tell Bill, as always awesome job, but this one goes to you Elizabeth. Keep on smiling! 😄
I will try that Picant sauce next time I make my meatloaf. I've never heard of it before, and the monkfruit sweetener. Your dinner plates are beautiful, seeing you in your new kitchen and of course listening to Elizabeth's sweet, soothing voice go through the recipe is a pleasure in itself.
Elizabeth you're the best God bless you. I love to watch you sometimes just to hear sa soothing voice. I pray my husband & I will be able to have such a grand life.
Great recipe Elizabeth and I would definitely make a bulk batch ahead and just scoop out what was needed as ready to start. You don't just cut your prep time in half you cut your effort even more!
This original meatloaf with piquant sauce is delicious! Thank God for Betty Crocker! That was a dependable source for me to check when Mom wasn't here. All my cookies were Betty Crockers Cookie book, along with a few handfulls of family favorites passed down, pizzelles, Lady horns. The only thing I added to my meatloaf different than yours was grated carrot. Every month on a Sunday I made this very meat loaf with piquant sauce. 39 years. My Husband & I had sandwiches out of it the rest of the week. (Actually that night & a day or two.) Thank you for showing how using Thrive into a regular meal. I think you can save money using thrive & have less food spoilage with dehydrated foods. I hope I said that right?.
My mother made meatloaf with oatmeal and tomato sauce she would put a little bit of the tomatoe sauce in the meat mixture and the rest on top it was so good
Oh my mouth is watering for your meatloaf Elizabeth! I must try it! Thank you too Bill, for your camera action. Lol. Elizabeth your dishes/bakeware by "Pioneer Woman" are very beautiful, as well. ❤
I have stone as well I put a folded tea towel or a square oven pad under your dished stops the noise plus saves the bowl from moving about especially since you have limited strength in your hands take care 💕
If you want to make this a quicker meal, You can bake small individual meat loaves in a muffin tin or my favorite, a baking pan that makes 8 small loaves of bread. 30 minutes and you have wonderfully moist delicious meatloaf in individual servings.
Wonder if you could use the TL tomato powder with a tad bit more of the monk fruit to make a ketchup substitute. Might have to add a teeny splash of ACV to round out that flavor profile….but, it may be a good sub if you don’t have ketchup. The meatloaf looks amazing. I’m definitely going to give this a try. Love the idea of making a dry meatloaf mix for ease. Will make up a couple zippy bags for down the road!
The two secret ingredients of ketchup are caramelized onions and monosodium glutamate (MSG). In a substitute, I would completely avoid the MSG. You could use the raw diced onion, but caramelizing it is far nicer--but a lot of time! Plus pick a sweetener of your choice instead of sugar. There's already a lot of sweetness packed in the tomato powder.
I really like a good meatloaf, but I've never been a fan of the tomato based glaze/sauce on top. I've had meatloaf with a brown gravy with mushrooms and prefer it that way. Thank you for sharing another wonderful Thrive Life recipe. I'm glad you are both feeling better. God bless you both.
Wow... That looks good! Even though I am a vegetarian my husband is not and he would love that. I'd love to get Thrive Life. By the way your hair looks wonderful and that is such a pretty dress. Great video.
What a great idea! I'm really tempted to start with Thrive. It seems to be not only a great way to put stuff back, but to use daily to cut down "prep" work for daily cooking :)
Yes, we have a larger food storage pantry. And we also use it in about 50% of our daily cooking. It's very convenient and saves lots of time in meal prep!
Elizabeth .. you need to get yourself a mandoline ... very affordable and will shred, chop, julienne, grate, etc. You would never have to shudder again when getting vegetables prepped for your recipes.
When people ask me why I have a pair of channel locks in my kitchen draw with my serving spoons, cutting knives and such I tell them those are my kitchen locks. I use them for things like grinding nutmeg or opening touch bottles.
lnstant Pots are real inexpensive at TJ Maxx. I have two and I love mine two very much. I did buy an extra clear cover, if l have to put the leftovers in refrigerator. And an extra staineless steal inside pot if one is in use. I use it for potatoes all the time. Love mine.
Hi Bill, Elizabeth and Leo! I was watching this in anticipation of my thrivelife order I made. I look forward to making this when it arrives. I wanted to add... it was lovely noticing... Hey that's ur new kitchen! U did an awesome job on the remodel! I also wanted to say thank u for making these videos, for thrivelife receipe ideas. 🤠🤗🐈 Peace, Dianna from Denver
Elizabeth next time put some halfed small Redskin potatoes and baby carrots around the edge of your meatloaf. Pour some tomato juice just around the carrots and potatoes.... so good and easy!
Elizabeth, you might want to try using ground Lamb (rather than ground Beef) for your meatloaf. I would say at least for your first try avoid putting the sauce on top, I think that would be too over-powering for the lamb... but try it without at first so you can see what you'd want to tweak or add. Me personally, I just use one egg, onions, bread crumbs or Triscuit crackers and that's it, it's perfect like that. Most people never think to use Lamb for meatloaf, they have no idea what they're missing. It's so good that I never use Beef for meatloaf any longer. Try it and let me know what you think.
I make my meatloaf with shredded carrot mushrooms green pepper onion salt and pepper and garlic place it in a bundt pan and drizzle ketchup on top. I'll have to try your topping
I cant wait to join! I have neuropathy in my hands and feet which make it very difficult to not only cut things up but to stand to cook a large meal. I can’t feel my hands, and that is necessary so that you don’t cut your finger, which I have done. Also the standing on my feet is very painful and I am limited to how long I can’t stand on them. These are the main reasons I want to join other than the shelf life. Waiting for the right time. Hugs and love y’all!
Elizabeth, I think you need some silicone or wooden spoons and spatulas because you'll scrape the surface of those lovely Pioneer Woman things using metal spoons and forks on them and, actually, the scraping sound is amplified by the video! Maybe also get a thin bamboo or plastic table mat to set your dishes on during prep, so you needn't worry about the granite worktop. Your meatloaf looked nice but I would want mash and gravy! Thank you for another lovely video x

Your meatloaf mix (and any other freeze-dried item) would be great to take on your extended travel trailer trip! Looks delicious! I bet you are especially glad to have all your freeze-dried items in your pantry available for when this winter storm hit this past weekend!
All the grocery stores in the area were total chaos, and we didn’t even have to go to the store at all! 😁
That meatloaf looks delicious!
I love, love, love your countertop! I love the swirls in the grain! That kitchen is really shaping up to be stunning! I am so happy for the two of you getting that house!

I'm a hands in mixer too. I even have a couple cookie recipes where hands are the quickest mixer. And it's good exercise for keeping hands strong.
My first cookbook was a Betty Crocker cookbook, given to me by my best friend in High School, for our HS graduation.
If you thrift shop for pans that overlap your burners by half an inch all around, you will save energy and the food will cook better. Make sure they are very think bottomed and you can simmer for long periods without scorching.

That meatloaf looks delicious! I really like your haircut Elizabeth. It's very flattering.
Thank You for helping us do easy ways of cooking. It is a pleasure listening to you both. By the way I loved the ring tone! 😊
Love your haircut Elizabeth, very pretty,❤️ and love those old Betty Crocker recipes!
The wife and I watched this yesterday and we were both intrigued. We have been stocking up on Thrive Life as an emergency prep but still eating from our garden.

What a nice surprise to see those bits have their own special use! Guess what we're having tonight.😉
The powder in the bottom is so useful for flavoring that sometimes we even make more in the blender!
I just made a meatloaf last night. All kinds of ways of making one, and the end result a hot yummy dinner.
Thoroughly enjoyed your family music mix over the holidays. What a beautiful surprise! The songs you wrote had very good wording.
I like my meatloaf, but I usually don't know what to use as a topping. I'll try this. I also like a tad of mustard on barbecue chicken. It really adds a yummy flavor!
The piquant sauce brings back memories thank you for sharing!
That recipe looked absolutely delicious Elizabeth!!!! Will definitely be giving that a try in the near future. Normally I tell Bill, as always awesome job, but this one goes to you Elizabeth. Keep on smiling! 😄

Great recipe Elizabeth and I would definitely make a bulk batch ahead and just scoop out what was needed as ready to start. You don't just cut your prep time in half you cut your effort even more!
Yum. Thank you Elizabeth and Bill.
Awe I had an old Betty Cocker cook book. I learned how to cook from it.
Looks nice. In Denmark we always have bacon strips across the top of the meatloaf.
This original meatloaf with piquant sauce is delicious! Thank God for Betty Crocker! That was a dependable source for me to check when Mom wasn't here. All my cookies were Betty Crockers Cookie book, along with a few handfulls of family favorites passed down, pizzelles, Lady horns.

Yes, you can completely eliminate waste and spoilage when you use Thrive Life products.
My mother made meatloaf with oatmeal and tomato sauce she would put a little bit of the tomatoe sauce in the meat mixture and the rest on top it was so good
Oh my mouth is watering for your meatloaf Elizabeth! I must try it! Thank you too Bill, for your camera action. Lol. Elizabeth your dishes/bakeware by "Pioneer Woman" are very beautiful, as well. ❤
I have stone as well I put a folded tea towel or a square oven pad under your dished stops the noise plus saves the bowl from moving about especially since you have limited strength in your hands take care 💕
Thrive life, maybe one day. You've almost convinced my husband. 😊 Enjoyed watching and learning. It looks delicious.
You are looking good. I hope that you keep feeling better.
If you want to make this a quicker meal, You can bake small individual meat loaves in a muffin tin or my favorite, a baking pan that makes 8 small loaves of bread. 30 minutes and you have wonderfully moist delicious meatloaf in individual servings.
Wonder if you could use the TL tomato powder with a tad bit more of the monk fruit to make a ketchup substitute. Might have to add a teeny splash of ACV to round out that flavor profile….but, it may be a good sub if you don’t have ketchup. The meatloaf looks amazing. I’m definitely going to give this a try. Love the idea of making a dry meatloaf mix for ease. Will make up a couple zippy bags for down the road!
The TL tomato powder would work, I'm sure. 😊
The two secret ingredients of ketchup are caramelized onions and monosodium glutamate (MSG). In a substitute, I would completely avoid the MSG. You could use the raw diced onion, but caramelizing it is far nicer--but a lot of time! Plus pick a sweetener of your choice instead of sugar. There's already a lot of sweetness packed in the tomato powder.
Even if the can is newly open, you can use a coffee grinder or blender to make a powder of the pieces for sauce or gravy.
Yes, I do that all the time!

I'm glad you feeling better Elizabeth 💗
That looks delicious, Elizabeth! My husband loves meatloaf, and it's a good way to sneak those veggies in. 😋 Thank you for sharing.
Looks yummy! I'll try that sauce next time. I usually just use canned tomato soup. That is a very pretty butter dish. Nice to see you Elizabeth 😊
Oh, I agree, Liz! 😋 Thank you for Thrive Life, too!
This is one of the of my favorite THRIVE Life meals video 🥰
Looks delicious Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing!
I so enjoy Cooking with Elizabeth! Please do more.
Elizabeth thank you for your meat loaf recipe. I will be making this weekend. I will use my Thrive Life foods.
Thank You, Elizabeth and Bill
Okay. That's going on the schedule for this week. Yummmm.
Great recipe! And how lovely your new countertop is!
Another wonderful video! I bet that you were dry happy that you did not have to go to the grocery store during the snow storm. Blessings
I love the way you cook. That's how I learned too. And now I think I am able to start Thrive Life. Thank you.
Nice. Happy you are in your new kitchen 😀
Looks delicious Elizabeth, I love meatloaf!! Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰 Love y'all

What a wonderful job! And it looks very very good! Thank you for sharing!
Man that meatloaf looks delicious! I like using leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches. Nice job👍
I haven't made meatloaf in a long time and I think I better put that on my radar. Looks absolutely delicious!
Sounds wonderful..I still have that cookbook, still use it. Thanks.
Meatloaf is like a basic black dress. You accessorize it with any ingredients you like!!
Hi Bill, Elizabeth and Leo!
I was watching this in anticipation of my thrivelife order I made.
I look forward to making this when it arrives.
I wanted to add... it was lovely noticing... Hey that's ur new kitchen!
U did an awesome job on the remodel!
I also wanted to say thank u for making these videos, for thrivelife receipe ideas. 🤠🤗🐈
Peace, Dianna from Denver
😊
Elizabeth next time put some halfed small Redskin potatoes and baby carrots around the edge of your meatloaf. Pour some tomato juice just around the carrots and potatoes.... so good and easy!
Looks delicious! Great job Elizabeth!
I remember that cookbook in the home ec classes
Really enjoy your Thrive Life cooking videos. Such great ideas!
Elizabeth, you might want to try using ground Lamb (rather than ground Beef) for your meatloaf. I would say at least for your first try avoid putting the sauce on top, I think that would be too over-powering for the lamb... but try it without at first so you can see what you'd want to tweak or add. Me personally, I just use one egg, onions, bread crumbs or Triscuit crackers and that's it, it's perfect like that. Most people never think to use Lamb for meatloaf, they have no idea what they're missing. It's so good that I never use Beef for meatloaf any longer. Try it and let me know what you think.
Glad you are up and feeling better.. Thanks for the recipe sounds Yummy..🤍
I make my meatloaf with shredded carrot mushrooms green pepper onion salt and pepper and garlic place it in a bundt pan and drizzle ketchup on top. I'll have to try your topping
will your new upper cabinets have under the cabinet lighting? i highly recommend it if you have not thought of it.
Everything will be well lit. 😊
You are a great teacher! I watch lots of cooking videos.....but love yours.
Thank you. 😀
I cant wait to join! I have neuropathy in my hands and feet which make it very difficult to not only cut things up but to stand to cook a large meal. I can’t feel my hands, and that is necessary so that you don’t cut your finger, which I have done. Also the standing on my feet is very painful and I am limited to how long I can’t stand on them. These are the main reasons I want to join other than the shelf life. Waiting for the right time. Hugs and love y’all!
Thrive Life would definitely make cooking for you faster and easier. 😊
Elizabeth, I think you need some silicone or wooden spoons and spatulas because you'll scrape the surface of those lovely Pioneer Woman things using metal spoons and forks on them and, actually, the scraping sound is amplified by the video! Maybe also get a thin bamboo or plastic table mat to set your dishes on during prep, so you needn't worry about the granite worktop. Your meatloaf looked nice but I would want mash and gravy! Thank you for another lovely video x
I love ur kitchen so happy u have a great home. God bless u.
Thrive used to offer a Green and Red Pepper Mix of finely chopped peppers. I bought a case of 12 and that’s what I use in my meatloaf.
Yes, we love that pepper mix. But it was discontinued several years ago. We stocked up on it as well!
