i thought i already posted this here, but could be i'm

confused. Anyway, Donna asked me to post it cause she's

having a craving... so here it is!

 

All the TVP loaf recipes i could find had egg or cheese.

My goal was to make a delicious vegan version.

i thought it was a success, and enjoyed this loaf

with smashed potatoes, corn, and steamed broccoli.

Hearty comfort food.

i used the bit of mashed potatoes as a binder in

place of the egg i see in so many non-vegan recipes.

While i was doing this i thought a bit of instant mashed

potato flakes would be a quick & easy substitution for

that step. i hope you will try this, play around with it,

and let me know what you think.

The stripped and shapely

Maple grieves

The ghosts of her

Departed leaves.

 

The ground is hard,

As hard as stone.

The year is old,

The birds are flown.

 

And yet the world,

In its distress,

Displays a certain

Loveliness---
