Savory Walnut Loaf

This is an easy and inexpensive  plant-based walnut loaf that you and your family will love.   I use to make a similar loaf when I was in college, but have made some changes that I really like. I hope you will give it a try:) Make brown rice ahead of time and use for several meals. Also put your red potato in the oven for baking about 20 minutes before your Walnut Loaf so they will both be done at the same time. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup Green Chili Polenta.  I have included a link so you will know what to look for when you go shopping.  You can use the left over Polenta with another roll of Polenta and make my Green Chili Polenta with Red Sauce and cucumber slaw for another meal. My husband and son loved this dish.
