Herbed Biscuits & Mushroom Gravy {gluten-free} / Vegan Thanksgiving
My friends Yvonne, Sarah and I decided to create a full Thanksgiving Menu to share with you all on our blogs, to help you with planning the perfect vegan Thanksgiving feast for you and your loved ones to enjoy! Vegans and non-vegans alike will love our Thanksgiving menu!
My first contribution to our menu are these gluten-free Herbed Biscuits & Mushroom Gravy, the perfect comfort food to start off your Thanksgiving night!
I published my very first blog post on October 7, 2013 for my 
Winter is approaching, and although that doesn't mean much in LA, I know a lot of you in colder climates will dig this recipe for that cozy feel you crave when you're stuck indoors!
My boyfriend 
I decided to change things up a bit and try my hand a savory snack. When I want to nibble on something throughout the day, savory treats are sometimes necessary, but not as often available to to me unless I dig into veggies or something like avocado toast. I wanted to create a quick grab a handful and go type of snack and this was a winner! Not only is this great for snacks but it also pairs well with 
Cupcakes + cats? Count me in.
I grew up with oreo cupcake cats every halloween, it was our Briones family holiday tradition. So much so that everyone at school would expect it at our yearly celebrations, and boy did we make sure to always deliver ;)
The source of this recipe? A good old Nabisco Oreo Box from when I was about 2 years old. Really, this started about 20 years ago, it's really hard to believe. Unfortunately, we misplaced the original recipe cutout that my mom had saved all of these years, but the memory is so vivid in my mind that it was no longer needed to recreate this treat.
The original recipe used a prepackaged frosting and cupcake mix, artificial orange stuffed oreos, candy corn, licorice, jelly beans and, well, very unhealthy ingredients. But you guys know me, I had to healthy this up before sharing. Using my homemade healthy oreos, vegan chocolate cupcake + chocolate avocado frosting recipes, homemade candy corn and dried fruit, I successfully made it happen.
