Well, autumn is definitely in full force in Victoria (which really just means we’ve settled into the dreary mildness that is also winter and spring here on the South Island). That means my tummy needs a hug on the inside and there is no better way to accomplish that feat than with warm stew and [...]
Vegan Quinoa “Meat” Loaf
On January - 11 - 2011
Loaves were not big in my house growing up. The legend of the “Two-Meat-Loaves-in-One-Day-While-on-Vacation-And-One-Was-Smothered-in-Canned-Mushroom-Soup-Ew!” was oft told and the moral (loaves are gross) always heeded, so I actually have no idea where my appreciation for a nice loaf originated.
