Vegan Tofu Vegetable Loaf image

Once again, a fantastic recipe from the Chicago Diner cook book. Is there anything they can't do? I did alter this a bit from the original and found it to have a lot more flavor. This is a great comfort food kind of meal, excellect on cold days with mashed potatoes and a dinner roll... or three. PS, the more spices and veggies you add, the better! Here's a great recipe for vegan gravy.. http://www.recipezaar.com/244337
