We may be in Florida, but we are still in the South!
AND
It may be Meatless Monday, but we still want a hearty meal!
Biscuits n’ Gravy is a southern classic! Normally, laden with artery clogging butter and greasy sausage, it is not your typical “health food”. BUT IT TASTES SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!
We believe any food, no matter the stigma, can be made healthy… or at least healthier! We took Biscuits n’ Gravy & vegan-ized it without sacrificing any flavor! Get ready to be amazed!
