Join the discussionAre there any good vegetarian substitutes for the dried beef?
Hi Bonnie, You could sub a vegetarian bacon in it’s place and keep a similar flavor profile. Enjoy!
Do you think this would work to substitute dried or cooked fresh cranberries for the pumpkin? Maybe just more seasonal for a Christmas ladies brunch next week?
That sounds good! I think the cooked fresh cranberries sound delightful!
