Vegetarian Nut Loaf

By: Sherry Barber 
"'When I made this moist and tasty loaf for my vegetarian friends one Thanksgiving, they all took the recipe home with them,' says Sherry Barber from Whittier, California. 'To save time, I chop many of the ingredients a day ahead and store them in resealable plastic bags until baking day. I can't tell you how wonderful this loaf is."
