Submitted by Vive Le Vegan Blog

Soy-Free Veggie Meatloaf
Submitted by Vive Le Vegan Blog
When I took recipe requests many months ago, I had some serious pleading for meatloaf recipes. Surprising to me, because I had thought that the veggie meatloaf recipe had been done - and then done again. But, I realized that most of these veg versions included soy of some form… [...]

Soup & Salad, please!
Submitted by Vive Le Vegan Blog
We’re big soup eaters. I think soups and stews make family meals much simpler. How else can you put so many nutritious things into one dish (ex: vegetables, legumes, whole grains)… and have leftovers to refrigerate or freeze for another meal? Brilliance in a bowl, I say!
Not that our kidlets [...]
