vegan and gluten free food
Finally! Vegan Gluten Free coffee cake! As much as I love green smoothies and oatmeal for breakfast, sometimes I just need a treat. A hot cup of coffee or tea with a slice of warm coffee cake on a weekend morning really is one of the best things ever.
This granola checks all the boxes. It is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, raw, oil free and made without refined sugar. Best of all? It is delicious!
These unique vegan nori rolls are made with forbidden black rice. They are easy to make and the black rice adds a nice pop of color along with protein, fiber and antioxidants.
These crackers are raw, plant based and gluten free. Because they are made with seeds, they are a great snack for those following a nut-free diet.
I love beets. They are one of my favorite things to grow in my garden and one of my favorite things to eat. This beet dip is perfect served with raw veggies and crackers.
These days, many restaurants offer vegan pancakes and quite a few even offer gluten free pancakes. However, pancakes that are vegan AND gluten free (and soy free and oil free and made without refined sugar)? Those are a little harder to find. Fortunately, these lemon chia seed pancakes are super easy to make at home.
I’m not sure why I’m just now getting into casseroles. I mean, I grew up in the midwest where casseroles are practically their own food group. Really, the idea is quite genius. You put a bunch of stuff in a pan, put it in the oven and forget about it while it bakes. Then, 30-60 minutes later you have a main course with little effort.
Roasted vegetables are a staple for me. When I need an easy meal, I just toss whatever vegetables I have in a glass baking dish along with some spices and throw it all in the oven. This can make a lovely side side for a meal but I often find myself relying on a big bowl of roasted vegetables as an entree. These roasted root vegetables are filling and full of fiber, nutrients and antioxidants
This falafel is vegan and gluten free and it’s crispy even though it is not fried! Holy crap, you guys, I finally got an air fryer. I’ve been hearing you all rave about them for years and I finally see what the fuss is about. You don’t need an air fryer to make this recipe (I’ve included conventional oven instructions) but it sure does an amazing job of crisping these little puppies right up.
I’ve always loved tabbouleh but I had to stop ordering it in restaurants many years ago when I stopped eating wheat. This tabbouleh inspired salad is great alternative to traditional tabbouleh (which is made with bulgar wheat). It is refreshing and lemony and the quinoa gives it a nice texture.
