Summer Veggie Meatloaf #Recipe

Being able to grow our own food is a trait that many do not participate in. For those that do they are very aware of the fat that growing ones own food provides many health benefits including:

• more opportunity and desire to eat fresh fruits and veggies
• You know and decide what fertilizers and pesticides that are used to grow the food
• no need to pick early thus allowing fruits and veggies to fully ripen allowing them to possess more nutrients 

1 pound 90% lean ground beef

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 onion, chopped

1 large carrot, shredded

1/2 medium zucchini, shredded

1 clove garlic, minced

2 cups fresh spinach
