I finally broke down and tried whippable soy topping. I have picked it up and passed it up a half dozen times. It was not until I was going to create the Peach Galette that the Soyatoo! whipped topping seemed critical. It feels unfathomable to have pie or Galette without a la mode or whipped topping. The […]
