Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots
This recipe found me about a year ago and I have absolutely loved it ever since! Given its ingredients, I wasn't surprised to find it seems to be a hit no matter where it's served.
Dairy-Free Savory Sausage Gravy
This dairy-free sausage gravy is a fairly basic, large-batch gravy recipe that I've developed over time. The family loves it every time, so the large batch is needed! Normally I'd use soy milk for most things, but I've found that in greater quantities it tends to froth badly. Almond milk does not have this problem though. Serve over warmed biscuits or the toasted bread of your choice.
Riced Cauliflower Fiesta Flats
These veggie-filled fiesta flats use riced cauliflower and fajita seasoning as shortcuts to flavor! Vegetarian take on taco night.
