My husband eats these as sandwiches, and we also grilled them once during the summer. He really likes them, which is surprizing to me since he really likes real ones, too. - Dawn M. , " pghgranola " <pghgranola wrote: > > good to know i am not alone, here! > > > > with the " sausage " recipe...does the wheat gluten give it that chewy > texture? > > i may try that, this weekend. i worry about the beans though...hubby > is so anti-bean! maybe he won't notice. > > > > > , Dawn Meisch <a_new_dawn@> wrote: > > > > I am a vegan SAHM to a vegan toddler, and wife to an omni hubby as well. > > > > My daughter is nearly two and eats like a " normal " two year old, as in > > she really only wants crackers and chocolate soy milk. > > We do manage to feed her pretty well, and only had a small amount of > > meat product in her whole life.
