The Loaf is Back, Baby!

Quite a few of you have noticed that my Magical Loaf Studio has been down all summer. Good news finally! I moved my website to a new hosting service, got a little technical help (thank you, Greg), and the studio is up and running again!

For those of you who haven't used it yet, the idea is to create your very own recipe for a vegan dinner loaf by choosing from the lists of options. For example, make a yummy loaf of lentils, amaranth, and almonds ... or garbanzo beans, oats, and cashews ... or black beans, rice, and pine nuts ... or kasha, butter beans, and walnuts ... etc. etc.!

So if you're not sure what's for dinner, head on over to the Magical Loaf Studio and let your imagination run wild!

This is awesome! I am going to make my loaf tonight--and if it is tasty I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving dinner to bring to my family (they are all tired of Tofurkey)
Thanks.

I haven't used the Loaf Studio in a while, but a few years ago I used it quite regularly. From my experiences the recipes it generates never fail. Great site. I'm glad it's back up ^_^

I've had millet loaf before, but that's about it. I'm very excited to try this out! Makes those traditional beef meatloafs look like amateurs!

That is so cool! I wish you had an iPhone developer who could write you an iPhone app to link directly here.

I'm now going to discover what's for dinner tonight!

So glad it's back! It is "magic" when I can put in all of the random items I have in my kitchen (but can't think of what to do with them) and ta-da a delicious loaf recipe appears. Thank you so much for creating it.

Oh good. I was about to email you and offer to host it for you. I love that page and use it all the time.

I made this last night with pintos, sunflower seeds, and oatmeal. Seasoned it with sage, basil, nooch, and ketchup. I used less liquid and made it into burgers, it was really good! Thanks for putting this up, since I didn't have any idea what to make for dinner.

I tried the magical loaf, and mine was far from magical. It had good flavors, but it never cooked all the way through. I think I ended up cooking it for over an hour and a half and it was still not cooked all the way through. My mixture (before cooking) was really wet and I ended up adding a lot of oatmeal and cooked rice to get it to dry/loaf up (and skipped the liquid). Anyway, I'm wondering which combination(s) have worked for you and/or other followers.

I have a blog that does reviews www.familyliciousreviews.blogspot.com. I also belong to a large attachment parenting group, and several other mom's groups in Orange County, CA. I would love to do a review on one of your Vegan Lunchbox cookbook. Then I can tell the other mom's in my groups and blog some of the benefits of using your cook book. If you like I can also do a giveaway. I can have the mom's go to your website and ask them to answer a question regarding one of your items. I will then pick a winner using random.org and send you the winners name and address. This will increase traffic flow of your site and also interest in your book.
Let me know if it is a possibility. And if this is something your company would be interested in.

I tried to find your e-mail but I couldn't. I'm a web developer, is there a way that I can translate the Magical Loaf Studio to Portuguese? All credits will go to you, most vegans here have no idea of how to make a vegan loaf, so it will be great.

If it's possible, can you write me at anderson.santos.br(a)gmail ?

Thanks!

I am trying to feed my family all their veggies and keep them healthy, and have decided that vegetarian is the way to go!! However I was getting discouraged as I began to try and plan meals that have always centered around meat. Then I found your site and I love it already!! I'm feeling much more confident and know that we will be healthier and happier. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Lisa said...

I love this! THANK YOU for this wonderfully useful and fun resource! I also love a previous poster's idea of getting kids involved.. I'm going to do the same :)

Any chance you could continue your home sick soup entry's??? The two that you did are my go-tos!!! Thanks for a great blog!

I'm working on Maongozi_loaf-0.0.1 at this very moment! I have a scary suggestion for any possible upgrades. A loaf randomizer for the brave or those that need a little more inspiration.
