VEGETARIAN TOFU AND NUT LOAF

Vegetarian Tofu and Nut Loaf image

This meatloaf has a lot of flavor and is very satisfying if you are craving protein. My husband and I, both vegetarians, made this for my brother, a hunter and meat-enthusiast, and he really liked it. The best thing about this meatloaf is the next day when I can have a cold meatloaf sandwich with mayonnaise.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
