Homemade Gravy by John Spottiswood

Vegan Simple Pea Soup by Jill

This simple pea soup is excellent cooked as well as raw! This can be used as a base for so many more vegetables too! Use your imagination and try shredding some potatoes, celery, corn, etc. I like to add seitan. Let me know how yours comes out. I"ve only made this using my Vita-mix but I'm sure a regular blender will work…

Mashed Potatoes by Candice Goodyear

I don't like instant mashed potatoes at all. I make mine from scratch like many cooks out there. I like them either with butter and sour cream or butter and milk in them both are delicious. But, if you don't have milk or sour cream on hand you can substitute 1/4 cup real mayo, still taste great.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes by Nancy Miyasaki

To remove all excess water after boiling the potatoes, put them in a dry pot over low heat. It will make them really fluffy when beaten.
