Sauce Boss!

One of the hardest things I found about having allergies is the sauces. They are everywhere you go and some days it feels impossible to avoid them! And as bad as they may be, it really kicks a dish; giving it that extra ummphh that everyone enjoys.

As learned from experience, a large majority of them contain my natural born enemies: Gluten, dairy , eggs and corn. Yet , if their were to be a sauce containing none of which, it would make society feel like they are paying a large sum of money for basically water.

That is why, when I stumble across the rare recipe containing none of which, I feel as though I struck gold! Its a bless-id feeling really.

Here are some of my most favorite, and simple substitute sauces.

1) Vegan Donair Sauce

Yes, yes I know. Donair? Those ain't healthy! But shh. Its my rare 'cheat' meal. My one guilty splurge in life. And up until recently, I couldn't have the full package deal. Until I stumbled upon this masterpiece that I feel entitled to share with you all.

How I styled it up:
*I halved all this as the original makes around 1 Cup

1 1/2 Cups Soy milk
3 TSP. garlic salt
2/3 Cups. white sugar
8 TSP. white vinegar

1) Combine together the sugar, and garlic salt
2) Pour in the soy milk and stir to dissolve all of the solid contents
3) Teaspoon by teaspoon, slowly add in the vinegar until desired thickness is reached

Alternatives: 1) You can use almond or rice milk, it may just change the flavor and consistency
2) Adding more or less sugar alters the amount of vinegar needed

*Best thing to do is trial and error until you reach YOUR ideal consistency and thickness
