One of my pregnancy cravings was for a hearty, breakfast-y tofu “egg” gravy. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about a tofu gravy that I ate when I was in high school. (And that one, sad to say, was actually not very delicious. Makes ya wonder why ya wake up craving something that wasn’t that delish.)

I brainstormed, and luckily, I found a gravy that really fits the bill! (SO much more yummy than the gravy that I remembered in high school that triggered the funny craving.) It is this tofu “egg” gravy from Amazing Meals I by LuAnn Bermeo. It has tofu (duh), nutritional yeast flakes, other various seasonings including basil and sage, and she recommends adding some sort of veggie breakfast sausage. I added crumbled unsausages that I had in the freezer, ready to go for spur-of-the-moment needs. I usually serve this gravy over toast or homemade biscuits. Yesterday, I served it over some slightly misshapen veggie burger buns that I made from scratch. The hubby really enjoys this hearty gravy, too!

Side note: If you are in the mood for picking up a new, very practical two-volume cookbook, may I recommend Amazing Meals! Unfortunately, this book is not available from Amazon. I believe it is self-published, but don’t let that stop you from getting a copy. Stop by the Facebook group and get in touch with the author to get your own copy of the two-volume set. I believe they run around $60, last I checked, but this two-volume set is not your skinny cookbook. They are quite large, full-size pages, and chock full of great ideas for vegetarian, plant-based meals and menus. And once you get your copy, you have GOT to try the whipped topping recipe!

Disclosure: I am NOT being paid to write my opinion of this book and am not being compensated in any way, shape or form. I just really like it a lot and thought you should know about it!
