I'm a vegetarian since 1989, married to a meat-eating Irishman. I'm always looking for new and creative meals that will satisfy both of our palates, as well as being kid-friendly for my 2 year old son. :) We also have a new baby, so I'm always a fan of anything quick and easy, that can cut down on the chaos that inevitably erupts at our house every night when Momma's in the kitchen trying to cook!

Vegetarian Meatloaf with Vegetables
I made this for the first time tonight and wow! I'm very pleasantly surprised! I followed the recipe pretty closely, with only a few modifications: My grocery store only had the Sausage Style Gimme Lean, so I used that and cut the sage down to 1/2 tsp. I also added an extra egg just to be sure it held together. I omitted the worchestshire sauce and planned to substitute it with soy sauce, but to my dismay, we were out! It didn't matter...it tasted great without. I also used plain breadcrumbs instead of cubed bread, and I tightly packed and baked this in a greased glass loaf pan for 1 hour. I added a glaze of brown sugar, ketchup and honey mustard 1/2 way through cooking. This received rave reviews from my family! This is definitely a keeper, and I will make it again and again! Thank you! After 20 years as a vegetarian, I've finally found an old favorite comfort food! I think I will attempt to use a variation of this recipe for "meat"balls, and see how it comes out!

Restaurant-Style Spinach Casserole
This was really easy and quite tasty. I made only a couple very minor adjustments. I sauteed the onion prior to adding the other ingredients, as I don't like the taste of raw onion, and I felt this was a little "thick" once completed, so I added about 1/2 can of evaporated milk and simmered until thick and creamy. Delicious! I'll definitely be pulling this one out again!
