We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

dont throw away those vegetables - if you have an immersion blender - use it! it will thicken the gravy and you will not have to use any flour - or very very little. i also add extra carrot - but you can add extra whatever - especially if you are using the immersion blender
