Munchie Monday: Plant-Based Sausage and Bacon!

For years we have occasionally purchased plant-based sausages and one time we bought some fakin bakin which was really really nasty.  That has all changed now!

Julie Hasson has written a book called Vegan Diner.  She also has a website.  I have watched her on YouTube for years off and on.  On Thursday I learned about the book and ordered it.  On Friday it arrived.  Yesterday and today I have made two things:  the country sausages and the smokey soy curls.  They are both delicious!

The sausages ready to steam

The sausage uses vital wheat gluten plus chick pea flour which I made in the Vitamix.  You add spices then shape and steam for 30 minutes.  Delicious!

The sausages here are ready to eat. 

The bacon is made with Soy Curls from Butler Foods.  They are fabulous for all kinds of things.

Here are the Soy Curls ready to "fry" in the cast iron pan.

Here is the bacon ready to eat with maple glaze.

Both of these items are so good it is tempting to just gobble them up.  I will see what the blood sugar and scales tell me tomorrow about how likely that is to happen...
