Vegan Comfort Food Meatloaf Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
I’m both a big eater and a vegetarian who’s also veganish. Veganish is being almost vegan but not exactly. I love comfort food yet don’t eat meat.
I love meat loaf, burgers and fries! I enjoy these types of foods everyday the only difference is my version is meat free, delicious and not fattening like the meat version.
Really, trust me, I never lie and always tell the truth! It’s amazing, delicious and mouth watering!
Today I will share with you one of my favorite vegan meals that is guaranteed to stick to your ribs and leave you very satisfied. On the menu today we have meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy! Yummy right? I know!
