    This meal is perfect for those times you open up the fridge and the selection looks sparse. All you’ve got is a package of tofu and an abundance of condiments. The recipe may seem simple, but that’s exactly why it’s here. Every now and then you have to hit the easy button, and for a simple staple like this, you shouldn’t try and over-think it. If you have a package of tofu and you don’t want it to go bad, this will solve that problem and give you leftovers. (From The Lusty Vegan* © 2014 by Ayinde Howell and Zoe Eisenberg.

      I have a new oven that had a setting for dehydration. Foods not ridiculous at all Samsung ovens also have that setting.

      I've got to say that looks and sounds disgusting! Why would anyone put those ingredients together? All those sweet salty condiments, with OATS??!! Oats and tofu are both very taser and healthy, but come on, like this????

      Sorry, I meant 'tasty', not 'taser'.

      Two in my family are omnivores. The rest are vegan. Even my six year old grandson who can go either way prefers tofu loaf to meat loaf. Love this recipe!!
      (I tried to give it five stars but my iPhone wouldn't accept more than three - weird.)

      I was looking for quick, easy vegan loaf recipe using tofu that doesn't have an ingredient list a mile long. No beans, lentils, rice, or quinoa to cook ahead of time either. Just throw it in a bowl and go! This recipe fills my requirements! In addition, the flavor and texture are good! I've gone back for seconds and thirds! I'll be making this recipe again and again!
