30 Day Blogger, Day 21: A Recipe

I was tempted to write out my mom's fudge recipe but that's become something of a family secret, so instead here's one for vegetarian meatloaf I got (copied and pasted from the email he sent me) from horror maestro Rick R. Reed. Enjoy:

NEAT LOAF!

4 eggs
2/3 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix (the whole packet measures 1/4 cup, souse slightly less or use the whole packet if you like the onion soup mix taste) - for vegetarian version substitute dry soup mix without beef bouillion
1/3 LB low-fat ricotta cheese
1/3 LB firm tofu (mashed into small pieces)
1/4 cup vegetable oil of choice
1/3 cup onions
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. rosemary (fresh is good)
4 cups (dry measured)
Special K (note: this approximately equals 4 oz or 113grams of the cereal by weight)
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic

FOR THE SAUCE:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup molasses
1/8 cup to 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (to taste)
Pinch cayenne ground pepper (to taste)

Beat eggs in a bowl, and then add all other ingredients except the Special K. Mixwell and then add the Special K last. Put in pan that is sprayed with cooking oil. Bake for 1 hour. Pour sauce
over loaf after 1 hour, and bake for 10 more minutes.
