Moms, Mom’s Vegan Pandemic Meatloaf and Really?

I’m thankful that my mom introduced me to romance novels and meatloaf at a tender age. Her appetite for both led to my enjoyment of both when I was age appropriate. Being vegan, I thought I’d said good bye to meatloaf in 2004. I do enjoy a good lentil loaf but it seemed too complex for this assembler to make and not something I could share with mom. Then a pandemic inspiration struck. I served this to the family Saturday and they devoured it!

Mom’s  MEATLOAF  RECIPE with Michelle’s Vegan and GF modifications

Ingredients

1.5 lbs Beyond Beef

1/8 bottle of Just Eggs

1 cup GF rolled oats

1 cup nut or soy milk

salt or pepper to taste

favorite barbecue sauce (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix first five ingredients thoroughly. Add to a 9×5 loaf pan. I love my silicon one. Bake for one hour. At 45 minutes, I poured barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf.

At high altitudes, you may require more than an hour.

Bon appetit!

In my Better Late Romance Her Last Mission, they stop at a diner for burgers and fries. If they’d had vegan meatloaf on the menu, Sandy would have ordered it!

Speaking of moms and romances, I’d preordered another BETTER LATE ROMANCE: USA Today best-selling author Jacqueline Diamond’s Really? At Your Age? novel. It has an over-fifty duo considering second chances with old friends and romance AND frozen embryos. Can it get more interesting? Yes! There’s even a murder mystery.

TODAY is its launch day. I finally get to devour this book.

Really? At Your Age? book description

After life kept them apart for decades, can a couple in their fifties find a path to love?

When a quake rattles their small town, Dr. Cody Matchett and hospital attorney Ben Wright are both jolted into rethinking their life choices. That includes their long-simmering attraction, and the fate of half a dozen frozen embryos.

Is Cody ready to become a mom at age 52? Then there’s the matter of choosing a surrogate… who might be Ben’s grown daughter!

The Better Late Romances are family friendly, fast, and fun featuring the over fifty crowd.

Buy Really? At Your Age? for 99 CENTS (not for long!) at https://www.amazon.com/Really-At-Your-Age-Romance-ebook/dp/B08BK8G9MC/

I’m grateful to readers who review my books. I hope you’ll consider writing a review of Jacqueline Diamond’s Really? At Your Age? at Amazon or Goodreads.

Love a mom today and happy reading.

Michelle
