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.
Make-Ahead Meatloaf Muffins
A quick, portioned dinner perfect for meal prepping. We have this almost every week, and the leftovers are great for my husband to take to work the next day. The serving size is 1 muffin, but we usually eat 2.
Air Fryer Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes
This recipe utilizes leftover mashed potatoes and transforms them into a completely different side dish. Both in flavor and texture. You will want to add salt and pepper to your mashed potato mixture if they were not seasoned originally. Serve with sour cream if you like.
