Vegan Jelly! (or Jello!)


A childhood favorite revisited. I have always liked Jell-o with Cool Whip. Now that I'm vegan, I have to find animal-free products. Found this brand of strawberry jelly from Samosa House in Culver City which has a small market that sells international goods.


Yay!


Easy instructions.


Delicious topped with Coco Whip!

Mushroom & Sausage Stroganoff with Mashed Potatoes.


This recipe is ridiculously good! I used the "Seitan Portobello Stroganoff" recipe from Vegan With A Vengeance. I used two 8oz. cartons of cremini mushrooms and replaced the seitan with 2 sliced Field Roast smoked apple sausages. The amount of sauce it makes is wonderful! You can use it on top of mash and also on wide noodles which I plan to do tomorrow because it looks like we have quite a lot of leftover sauce.


Fresh russets make the best fluffy mashed potatoes whipped with almond milk and Earth Balance margarine.


View #1. Beautiful stuff. You can see how rich and red it is from the wine and mushrooms.


The Field Roast worked very well and held up in the sauce. I love Field Roast.
