Today was a day of baking, baking, and more baking. Made about 14 dozen Holiday cookies and delivered them. These didn’t make it to anyone though. They *had* to stay home.

Lemon Cantaloupe Jam! With vanilla and raw sugar. Delicious.

Vegan Sausage Gravy Recipe: I’ve been asked a billion times for this, but it’s one I’ve never written down. After about 11-12 years of making this, it’s finally in existence.
1) Crumble and sautee 4oz vegan breakfast sausage (homemade OR the gimme lean stuff rocks). Use a large, deep skillet/pan (it might be just me, but if I use a regular saute pan with the angled sides, I make a mess everytime). When the crumbles are a dark golden color, they’re done. Don’t remove from the pan. Don’t clean the pan.
2) Make your Roux:
* make sure there is about 2-3 tbsp of olive oil in the pan
* add about 1/3-½ cup of flour (I used the white whole wheat flour here) to the sausage and oil; cover all those sausage crumbles with flour.
* mix that up really good on med/med-low heat and if it’s too dry, I add UNSWEETENED milk (I’ve had the best experiences with the So Delicious Unsweetened almond milk with protein added). Add just enough milk so that the mixture is thick and wet, but you can spread out the mixture in the pan.
3) Add just enough milk to fill in the cracks/crevices of the mixture.
4) Add Spices:
* Lots and lots and lots of black pepper (freshly cracked if you have it)
* Garlic salt
* onion powder
* A little extra salt
* dried sage (rubbed sage works too)
* red pepper flakes
5) Add a little more milk so you can then mix up the spices into the mixture. Spread the mixture back out.
6) Over the next 8-10 minutes, you’ll continue to add in a little bit of milk, maybe add some more salt and pepper, mix up, and spread out again.
7) You’re done when the lumps are incorporated into the mixture. Everyone likes their gravy consistency different (thin, thick, etc). If you want it like what’s above, You’ll have used just under two cups of milk.
*** I’ve tried this with other flours (gluten-free, whole wheat, regular all-purpose, corn, masa, etc), and the white wheat is the best I’ve had so far.
