Apple Sage Smoked Vegan Brats

No beer!  Not this round.

I found a wonderful young vegan chef over on YouTube: Chef Ani

I watched her video, and began to assemble the ingredients and coordinate any modifications.

The actual recipe is here: Vegan Sausage

The recipe made 11, 3.4 oz sausages.  I used my glass cutting board, placing a taped paper guide forming a six inch open rule.  This was to maintain uniformity throughout the entire batch.

My high pressure steamer was set 'high' for '90 minutes'.  This steamer pot comes with a wire rack and I love it because I can steam without the food logging in the water.  I will do with a natural release!

Carrot Cake Dessert Smoothie (Vegan)

3-4 Mini Carrots
1/4 Granny Smith Apple
4-8 raw almonds
1/2 frozen banana
1 frozen pineapple ring
2 T raw oats
1-2 dashes of all spice
water

You will need a high powered blender.  I use the Ninja Kitchen System, single serve cup attachment.  Press ingredients into server cup, fill with water below the max capacity line.  Blend until smooth.

This is a favorite for me.  I often have it alone.  This week, it was featured alongside brunch, a Tofu Bacon BLT.
