Thanksgiving Dinner Inspiration- Tofu Meatloaf
What is your favorite Holiday meal during Thanksgiving? Today we want to share one simple recipe made by using Nature’s Soy Firm Tofu. Meatloaf is a traditional dish that can be enjoyed throughout the year but is more common in the cooler months. Each country has its own unique tastes and practices of this recipe. This dish can be considered one of the typical comfort foods during the holiday season. Today, we want to make this traditional dish a little bit different by replacing the meat part.
