Andie, I love to bake. Also, looks like we're hosting Thanksgiving this year. Since this is my first Thanksgiving as a vegan (and I have an adventurous family
), I have an excuse to "audition" recipes for the holiday. My sweet potato pie was awesome, btw. Andie--can you post yr gingerbread recipe? I've been looking for a good one for years.
Artichoke--another yummy-sounding crust. I hope I have a chance to try these!
Cowpie (great handle, btw)--thanks for the update on Crisco. I finally broke down and e-mailed Smuckers (they own Crisco), and they replied...
"Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your interest in our products. In response to your question, there are no animal products in Crisco. The mono and diglycerides are vegetable based. Best regards, Tanya Sigler, Consumer Relations Representative..."
Anyway, I wanted to use it b/c it's what we traditionally use in my family (I can be kinda traditional despite being a vegan). I know it's waaaaay unhealthy, but makes a very flaky crust, and it's not for every day, y'know?
