Lentil Meatloaf

  Since becoming vegetarian, I haven't had to worry about missing some of my childhood dishes, because lentils are a perfect substitute for meat!  You can use them to make tacos, meatloaf (see below), meatballs, sloppy joes (which I renamed sloppy lennies), lasagna, shepard's pie, and moussaka!  Okay, so the last two are just dishes that I really love.  :D  Meatloaf can be highly personal, but also very versatile.  I created this recipe from one passed down from my mom.  I tried measuring out the ingredients for the first time this past week when I made it, so that I could share it with you.  I was taught that it is kind of an eyeball thing.  Hope you like it!
