Recipe: Vegan Sausage Patties
This is my family’s favorite sausage patty recipe! The spices are what really make these special. I have tweaked the original recipe, testing out different ingredients over the years numerous times and settled on this one. The 1st time I tried the original recipe, I felt it was too bread-like.

Recipe: “Old Fashioned” Vegan Baking Powder Biscuits (no shortening or oil!)
