here's sort of how to make the cheddar chive biscuit with tofu sausage white gravy & greens recipe... all measurements are approximate.

CHEDDAR CHIVE BISCUITS:
approx. 1/4 C of left over mac & cheese sauce (this recipe: http://bit.ly/1rZhxmb)
1/2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of sea salt
pinch of paprika & tumeric
ground pepper
3-4 tbsp vegan butter (cold)
finely chopped chives

1. Mix flour with baking powder and spices.

2. Add the chunks of butter and crumble it into the flour mixture with your hands.

3. Add the mac & cheese sauce and chives and fold together to combine. Do not over mix.

4. Bake for 10 mins in a pre-heated oven at 450F

TOFU SAUSAGE & WHITE GRAVY:
approx. 1/2 brick medium firm tofu
1/4 C finely chopped onion
2-3 tbsp of coconut oil for frying
a few pinches of spices like cumin, paprika, chipotle chilli, nutmeg, garam marsala
approx. 1 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour
approx. 1/4 C almond milk
approx. 1/4 C ranch dip (from our blog: http://bit.ly/1rUUi38)
sea salt & pepper to taste

** instead of using the ranch dip you could just use a little more almond milk and add whatever seasonings you like - garlic, dill, oregano, parsley

1. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.

2. Crumble the tofu into small pieces into the pan and fry until crispy (approx. 12-15 mins).

3. Add onions and spices half way through cooking.

4. Once the mixture is darker and crispy, turn the heat to low and coat with all-purpose flour, then stir in almond milk and ranch dip until desired consistency is achieved.

SAUTED GREENS:
take any dark leafy greens you like (kale, cabbage, chard) and saut with onion, garlic, and nutmeg.

Cut the biscuit in half, place some greens on the bottom, and smother with gravy. Enjoy!
