Updated! THE ONE GRAVY TO RULE THEM ALL!!! aka GRAVY MASH-UP!!!!
This gravy rocks. Forget that it is made with only plant fat. In fact I wouldn't tell people that its vegan. I have served it to a host of meat eaters and they poured it all over their turkey and loved it.
Gravy is one of those culinary glues that hold things together. Mashed potatoes for one without gravy is just, well mashed potatoes! I have a few really great recipes for gravy. The first of note is from Jill Nussinow. Her Golden Gravy uses a combo of tahini and soy with some flour for a really nice, simple, creamy gravy. Super easy to make and hard to screw up.Next up is a more complex, more savory gravy from Miyoko Schinner. Her Poultry-type Gravy employs a yeast flavoring powder made from Nutritional Yeast (aka vegan crack) and various herbs and spices. I like this one because the yeast and spices really give a warm, savory, chicken like flavor. It is a fuller bodied, rounder gravy than the simpler golden gravy.Lastly Mary McDougall's Rich Brown Gravy employs a whole onio…

It totally makes sense to me that you would be more productive and clear headed while eating a healthier diet. You are fueling your body and your brain, instead of burdening your organs and your brain with the task of cleaning all the poison out of your body, that is already working hard when you are unhealthy or overweight. I am happy to say that I have had very few migraines over the past few years, since I changed to a plant based diet. I am also glad to not have to pay for ridiculously expensive migraine medications. It is so incredibly empowering to see (and feel) the changes, that you have control over. Thanks for sharing your story:)
