Meatless Chicken Fried Steak

"I have been a vegetarian for the last 4 years, and missed some of the things I used to eat. Chicken fried steak is one of them; so through searching recipes and my own experience with "fake meats", I created this awesome recipe. It tastes just like the real deal, especially with country gravy (McCormick has a mix that doesn't have any meat)."

I am a cosmetologist on the central coast of California. I am a pesce-vegetarian, and I love to cook. I've been married for a little over a year to my wonderful husband Jesper. My husband and I bought a condo a little about 2 years ago, and I grow a few things in pots on the patio including: Jalapenos, Basil, Chives, Spinach, Brussel Sprouts, Green Onions, and Catnip (I have 2 cats).
