Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year starts Friday at sundown, and man, are we all ready for a new year, a fresh start.   We observe Rosh Hashanah by tasting something sweet, to start the new year with sweetness.  Traditionally, this means apples and honey.  We’re keeping the tradition, keeping the apples, but losing the…

Vegan Cat Head Biscuits with Spinach and Mushroom Gravy (and no Cats)

August 31, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

cat head biscuits and gravy

Cat head biscuits are a southern staple. They are tall, fluffy and traditionally made with lard–but you won’t find lard in my Vegan Cat Head Biscuits.
