These are my tried & true, fail-proof recipes for the Holidays. Never have I had someone tell me anything less than AMAZING! Which is why I started a recipe site. I will post the Green Bean Casserole here, but please visit vegancrocotta.com for the others. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone! (P.S. - My recipes have ridiculous names, but the food is 100% deliciously serious!)

3/4 cup of Regular Soymilk
2 Tablespoons Flour
3/4 cup Vegetable Broth
Salt & Pepper to taste

1 1/2 slices of your Favorite Bread
1 Tablespoon Vegan Margarine (like Nucoa or Earth Balance)
3oz can of French Fried Onions

1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt & green beans to the pit. Cover & cook about 7 minutes. Strain the green beans & rinse with cold water. Set aside.
3. Add mushrooms, garlic, vegetable broth, salt & pepper to a skillet. Slowly whisk in the flour. Simmer, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens. Add your soymilk & simmer until thick, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in green beans. Set this all aside.
4. Off to the side put your slices of bread, margarine, salt & pepper into a foor processor//blender until chunky yet crumbly. Make sure to stir around every few seconds to evenly chop it all. Pour into a large bowl & gently toss in the french fried onions.
