How to Make Vegan Chick’n Broth

There are three basic broths that every vegan should know how to make: “beef”, “turkey”, and chick’n. They are essential for making the best vegan gravy and soup!

Vegan Lemonaise Copycat

Making your own vegan mayo is easy and inexpensive, and it tastes fantastic! This lemon version is a copycat of lemonades and it’s one of my favorites! If you have never had Lemonaise, it is lemony, of course, but also a little bit garlicky and spicy. Store-bought Lemonaise is really good, but it’s not vegan. You …

How to Make Vegan “Meatloaf”

Meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food, especially when served with mashed potatoes and gravy! I am also very fond of cold meatloaf sandwiches (vegan mayo, mustard, lettuce, and a thick slice of cold “meatloaf” on white bread)! Fortunately, making vegan “meatloaf” is very easy once you have a “meat” mixture. I showed the recipe for how …

How to Make Vegan “Beef” Gravy

Mashed potatoes are great, but mashed potatoes with gravy are even better! Making vegan ingredients taste like beef gravy, however, is not easy and it took a lot of experimenting to get the flavor spot on. This “beef” gravy is so good that you can serve it to your non-vegan friends and family, and they’ll never …
