Does anyone have a recipe for vegan meatloaf that does not call for tofu?
Thanks Matt. Not exactly simple, haha, but it's vegan and it doesn't have tofu. :)
Answer
Buy some TVP (textured vegetable protein) most large grochery stores carry it. You can also get it at a health food store.
2 cups TVP
1 cup water
1 cup bbq sauce
1 table spoon corn starch
Wheat flour as needed
Mix water and bbq sauce and heat till almost boiling. Add TVP. Let stand for a few minutes. Add corn starch then a little flour until it make a nice ball. Put into a loaf pan and cook the same way you would a true meat loaf.

Question about being vegan?
Kris
I'm 14 and I've been vegan for about a month now, and I still have a couple questions. Is is still vegan if I eat something that has a teeny little bit of dairy in it? Like my margarine has modified milk ingredients as one of the middle ingredients, and my mom won't buy me a vegan kind because she already gets me special cheese, meat and milk. Should I just not eat that? What will I use in baking? I feel guilty if I eat it! Also, if I go to a friend's house for supper and they serve meatloaf or pasta in a creamy sauce, what am I supposed to say? I don't want to be rude, but I don't want to go against my beliefs. Thanks :)
Answer
no, it's not a vegan meal. How well you can remain a vegan is actually pretty individual. It does get easier as you get older. If you're making choices when you can and you're trying your best then you are a vegan. But the majority of people are not vegan. Nor vegetarian. For the margarine you buy, there are several brands that are pure olive or canola oil which are non-hydrogenated (I have no idea how they make it, but they do) and vegan. And even some which are palm oil-free. Google is your friend. But if she likes that brand and doesn't want to swap then you're still doing your best. Don't beat yourself up over it. You're doing your best, and you do have support that a lot of people don't have and you're doing really well. Let the margarine issue go. If you have to use it in cooking, then I guess use it. If you don't need it like for sandwiches or toast, then skip it. It's far from the end of the world. But like I said, when it's parents doing the cooking, there's not a lot you can do. When you're an adult and you and your friends are the ones cooking and shopping it is a lot easier. And you know how to cook vegan food - not everyone does. I know my mum is not sure how I can do much at all without using an egg. She can tell me some recipes and pick out some things to buy in the shop, and give advise when we eat out, but the idea of cooking vegan seems to daunt her - and she's a great cook. So relax. It won't make you not a vegan.
