Herbed Turkey Loaf
"I found the original recipe in an old Family Circle magazine from 2002. I changed the main ingredient from turkey to Gimme Lean ground beef style soy. Instead of the egg and I used plain Silk Coffee Creamer to brush on the puff pastry. I also added some Worcestershire's sauce and a few drops of Tabasco, some fresh basil and ground sage as well as some cubed potato and Malibar spinach instead of regular spinach. I also sprinkled some black sesame seeds on top of the loaf for interest. You can probably use ground beef, ground chicken or some other ground meat in here if you prefer."

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
