Amy's Happy Tummy

Ingredients & Instructions: These were the options, but you can add anything you want: All in chopped pieces: Gluten Potato Sweet potato Carrot Onion Squash Pepper Earth Balance Olive oil Season salt Garlic powder Onion powder Salt Cayenne The sky is the limit with these!

Very versatile also.  I can't say I really go by this recipe because I don't usually measure, but this is a general idea of what I do.  The main thing I remember is that the gluten flour and the liquid are approximately the same.  Add a little more gluten flour or liquid as needed.  Play with it to see what works for you. Ingredients: 2 1/2 C instant Vital gluten 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 3 T nutritional yeast flakes 2 C water + ¼ C Braggs liquid aminos Broth: ½ pot water (about 12 C or so) ½ C Braggs liquid aminos 1 T onion powder ¼ C beef seasoning ¼ C yeast flakes                                          1 T garlic powder 1 – 1 ½ tsp celery salt ...
