Sausage Recipes for the New Vegan

Image
  Giving up sausage can feel like a tough ask when you first go vegan. The savoury, spiced, satisfying chew of a sausage is something many of us grew up with and crave. The good news? Vegan sausages are surprisingly easy to make at home, and they can be just as hearty and flavourful as the real thing—without the meat. These three easy vegan sausage recipes each use a different plant-based protein: lentils, tofu, and vital wheat gluten. They're perfect for new vegans looking to recreate old favourites without sacrificing taste or texture. 1.

Plum-Banana Breakfast Squares, Vegan and Gluten-Free

Image
These plum-banana breakfast squares are the result of wanting to use up some of the abundance of a backyard plum harvest.  I will also be making a plum upside-down cake to take to Church tomorrow (but not a very healthy recipe, so it won't be on this blog). We will use some of these plums today: I love these little orbs of sunshine.  I call them "Little Golden Plums" although I know they must have a proper scientific name. 😶You can use any sort/named plum but make sure you remove the stone when prepping them. 😶Set the Oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 180 C. 😶Make your flaxseed or chia seed egg: ·      1 tbsp ground  Flaxseed  or  Chia Seed  + 3 tbsp  water- whisk up together and set aside until it is the consistency of whisked egg white, creamy and sticky (about 10-15 minutes)      😶Add the flaxseed/chia seed egg to the following in your food processor: ·      ...
