One of Sat and my favorite fast, homestyle meals is steak and potatoes, vegan style. Some instant mashed potatoes with gravy and some Morning Star Farms Steak Strips (the Trader Joes brand are just not as good). Yum. We decided to make this quick and easy pleaser on Friday night – great idea, right?
Well, first I’ll mention that I had used the last bit of butter for the no-bake cookies. Instant potatoes minus the butter totally suck. Don’t make the same mistake we did. And we were also out of the brown gravy mix – you know, that packet you get from Vegan Essentials? I decided I was feeling froggy and was going to make brown gravy compliments of an internet recipe. It was super easy, super quick, and seemed to have the perfect gravy consistency. We definitely didn’t fall in love, but it is nice to know that there are some options for us. Next time we are going to have to really tweak the recipe so that it doesn’t taste quite so “yeasty”. I thought adding Kitchen Bouquet would help – but it didn’t help enough. Better luck next time!
