    Chickpea Loaf

    I’ve made many “loaf” recipes over the last 3 years trying to come up with the perfect recipe that was hearty and not mushy, and I finally have it.  My husband and I will be having this for Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner and I wanted to share the recipe here for you to try yourself.  Also for Thanksgiving I will be making my Green Bean Stuffing Casserole.  You can find that recipe right here: WFPB Green Bean Stuffing Casserole!  Let me know what you think!
