I have a theory behind the #WineDownWednesday happy hour trend: by Wednesday most people are beat from the work week, but know they’ve still got two more days until the weekend. My solution is to make Wednesdays comfy and cozy. The best way to warm our hearts? Through our bellies! It’s #KetoComfort all day today, and you can start with these veggie-loaded mini meatloaves, which go great with a side of mixed greens covered in olive oil! BONUS: they can be frozen for later use, saving you meal-prep time!
