Matchup of the Week: Breakfast Sausage
The following article was written by Keegan Baur.
About a month ago, two of my aunts decided to go vegan (isn’t it amazing and wonderful how veganism spreads?), and they’ve been asking a slew of questions. One of these lovely ladies inquired about breakfast foods and wanted to know if I had any meal suggestions other than fruit and cereal. She informed me that her breakfast favorites have always been eggs, sausage, and potatoes. Luckily for her, there’s a delicious veganized version of just about every dish, whether you’re hankerin’ for a breakfast scramble, pancakes, or sausage links. And what’s more, the cruelty-free versions are usually healthier! See for yourself:
