During this time of year I make gravy on a weekly basis. When the cold, damp weather sets in, rich, warm, gravy makes for a delicious comfort food smothered over roasted chicken or turkey.

  2. Maybe I just can’t find it. I need a recipe for a white gravy. I’m from the south and I love biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I miss it so much!

    • I’ve been using cornstarch, non dairy butter, white rice flour and rice milk (if you like soy – soy creamer makes gravy thicker).

  3. Gizzards??? Really?? Yuck. Everyone (that does cook) can get the same deep/rich flavors with ALL-veggie products. Start w/low sodium (always …. to control salt) organic veggie broth. Flavor broth w/= grilled mushrooms, a celery stalk, 2 potatoes, small onion, parsnips and a carrot to sweeten the pan. Puree OR drain off veggies and thicken broth w/arrowroot, kudzu,corn starch, or even a butter (light/low salt) flour roux can work. Without those dratted gibbies ….. equally delicious! HEALTHY THANKSGIVING FOLKS!

  9. april,

    You are welcome and I’m glad you found us over here!

    I often use kudzu and arrowroot interchangeably in recipes and have not found it to be a problem.

  10. i have a quick question, if you can’t find kudzu at the store, could you use arrowroot instead?

    thank you for this site, i recently became gluten intolerant and it has not been easy for me, but thanks to you this new eating path has been made so much easier!
