About once a month, I sit down and begin to brainstorm food post ideas. I always take into consideration upcoming holidays and other food worthy events when my making list. However, my favorite recipes to come up with are healthy spins on classic, sometimes even comfort food, dishes. I have shared quite a few here on the blog, including Buffalo Cauliflower, Zoodle Mac & Cheese and Cauliflower “Potato” Salad. I was trying to think of a comfort food that would be easy to spin into a healthier dish when I instantly thought of one of my favorite restaurants: Founding Farmers. With several locations around the Washington, D.C. area, the restaurant features farm to table dishes with an expansive vegetarian section. One of the vegetarian dishes is the “Many Vegetable Mushroom Loaf”. *Side note: I would highly recommend Founding Farmers if you are ever visiting the D.C. area!
Since meatloaf is one of our favorite winter dinners, I thought I would try a play on the Founding Farmers menu item: vegetarian “meat” loaf.
