  1. I made this last night as a test run for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! The celery, onion, and sage create a subtle flavor that will go perfect with my dressing. I used real eggs because I've heard varied opinions on how well egg substitutes work, and I used 2 cups each of rice and lentils instead of 3 and it still turned out delicious!
     
  2. I like this simple recipe. I like to try different vegan loaves and this is a good one. I replaced the walnuts with oatmeal to keep it lower in fat and the bread crumbs with flour because that's what I had. I used ground flax seed (mix with 1 tb. flax and 3 tb. water to replace one egg) for egg replacer. It seems best served with some type of sauce. We used ketchup. I used half wild rice and half brown rice.
     
  3. I made this for Thanksgiving with a vegan mushroom gravy---my family did not miss the "turkey" and requested that I make this again and again. I did not have egg substitute---so I used soft tofu instead----other than that I followed the recipe exactly and used quantities listed----I actually made it the day before and waited until Thanksgiving to bake after it returned to room temperature-----great recipe---thank you for sharing.
     
  4. I can not beleive how good this is. It is my new obsession. My boyfriend does not like lentils and he even liked this. It is a great vegetarian main dish. I did cook my lentils and rice in veggie broth to add flavor and added a little garlic salt.
     
  5. I will have to try this again with more seasoning - I thought it was bland. It didn't stay together either, but I put way too many lentils in. I should have measured them and not relied on the measurement listed on the bag of lentils.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
