Who doesn’t love sausage rolls? My kids love them so I was so pleased to discover a vegan recipe. You can make these two ways. The quickest way is to buy some veggie sausages. We love these ones from aldi which are only $5 for 5 of them. I was also very happy to find… Continue reading Vegan sausage rolls – two ways
