My First Brat Ever

Beer Brat (tester)

Until today, I’d never had brats before and frankly, didn’t think I was missing anything. I was so wrong! These are a tester for the second Yellow Rose Recipes cookbook. Lucky for you, dear Reader, Joanna also posted a variation of them on her website several months ago. They have a mellow hint of beer, a great spice blend and a terrific texture. I’m always a sucker for texture in food. We had them with sauerkraut and mustard. If you’re one of those simmered seitan haters, you’ll be fine with this because they’re steamed.

Check out that sandwich roll, too. I made it from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day using the soft white sandwich bread base. This is my bun/roll recipe for life.

Bring on the cookouts! With these recipes, we’ll be ready.

I didn’t happen to get a photo of it, but we also had her Autumn Vegetables and Tofu Roast. We flipped over that one.

Tonight’s dinner: We traditionally have soup on election day. But we rarely win an election. I’m hoping if we ditch the soup we might end up with the President we want. I’ll try anything. (In other words, I have no idea what we’re having for dinner. There, I said it. )

    Oh I just love beer brats! I never ate them when I ate meat, but veggie ones are so awesome! This is perfect football season food. (If I watched football…)

    Great blog, by the by.

    Jessy, you’re so right on the rolls!

    T, haha! Just ’cause we don’t watch football doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the food! :)
