Gluten Free (Vegan) Breakfast II

I miss wheat sometimes. In fact, I missed it so much last night, I ate pasta. Fresh, homemade pasta. It was worth it. Luckily, I didn't feel too bad but I definitely couldn't do that regularly.

Anywho, I LOVE eating biscuits and gravy on weekend mornings. A warm biscuit with veggie gravy and hot coffee is so delicious. Therefore, last weekend, I decided to tackle gluten-free biscuits.

They were so good and prefect to freeze! I pop them in the oven on a workday morning at 350 and then I go get dressed and in 15 - 20min, it is ready for some jam. Yum!
