    yum looks good!! I think I will just use a TIN of chopped no sodium added tomatoes instead of blanching though---less work the better---doesn't blanching involve dropping in hot water for a minute and then PEELING???? :noway: The idea of orange zest really appeals to me---I never thought of adding it to meatloaf
