I
have taken out buying bread, now that I have shown you how to make
your own for a fraction of the price. The same is true of the peanut
butter! We have also upgraded to Olive-Grapeseed Oil Blend from
Costco, because it is much more healthy for you than Canola or
Vegetable oils and adds in the necessary Omega-3 ratio we look for in
a well-rounded diet! I omitted Agave from your grocery list because a
simple syrup made from water and sugar is better for you than the
mold-processed Agave, which is apparently worse for you than High
Fructose Corn Syrup! You also have an allotment for Tofurkey Sausage, which can go in Pho, Pastas, and on Pizza, but Seitan will treat you nicely in that department, for which I have included a pound of Vital Wheat Gluten to supplement sausages and experiment with! My pizzas are also usually cheese-less, due to the price, for which I make a lovely cream sauce and a marinara, for variety. Make a good dip to go with it and no one will be the wiser! OR, if you get the hang of the Seitan-making, swap in cheese for the sausage!

Per
usual, you will be able to make an assortment of cookies, biscuits
and breads, waffles, hot pockets, pancakes, granola, salads and wraps to go along
with leftovers for lunches, hummus and chips, plus banana breads,
pumpkin bread and zucchini bread for snacks. And now that you are making your own Almond Milk, you get to use the leftover meal for breading and crusting, using the rest as flour for crackers and supplementing your limited flour supply! Only substitute 1/3 of the flour called for with Almond flour though, otherwise your recipe will likely fall apart!
ENJOY!!!
