  1. These turned out totally amazingly delicious! Heated the leftovers a few minutes in the toaster oven…tasted like I just made them. I now have a go-to recipe for my favorite meal when I used to eat meat. So very good with honey mustard dressing! Thank you for your wonderful recipes…especially those that are meat and dairy free!
