* I have used Worthington and Loma Linda vegetarian Products for many years, and I love them. The product line is constantly improving, and I feel the Saucettes taste better than ever! Recently, I received samples of the newest Worthington and Loma Linda products from Atlantic Natural Foods, and in the interest of full disclosure, I have used them in this recipe.
