Turkey Mini Meatloaves and Tasty Tools next tool event!

This months Tasty Tools event http://joelens.blogspot.com/2008/04/tasty-tools-scoops.html Joelen’s Culinary Adventures,  was to challenge us to use scoops in our kitchens. I had an ice cream scooper that I have only used for ice cream, but wanted to see what else I could use it for. I found this recipe from Noodle Nights and Muffins Mornings blog and found using the scooper was perfect for making these mini-meatloaves. It portioned out just the right amount of meatloaf and dropped into the cupcake pan easily.  See where you can use your scoopers in your kitchen other than ice cream! 🙂

Check out Joelen’s blog on May 5th, 08 for all the SCOOPER results!

Enjoy!
