Sides
Millet “Polenta” Fries (corn free, soy free and gluten free)
Millet is an underrated grain. There’s a lot of fuss about brown rice and black rice and quinoa and oats and amaranth. I love all these grains! Millet isn’t always mentioned in lists of gluten free grains but it is super healthy and incredibly delicious. …
Roasted Asparagus with Rosemary Cashew Cream Sauce
Spring is peak asparagus season and I’ve been taking advantage of it. Roasting asparagus is a really simply way to prepare it and it is my favorite. I LOVE roasted asparagus and this rosemary cashew cream sauce really takes it to the next level. To …
Simple Vegan French Lentil Salad (Gluten Free, Soy Free and Oil Free)
This French Lentil Salad has been my favorite lunch lately. It is super healthy and really easy to make. I like to make a big batch of when I meal prep on the weekends. It’s an especially great lunch for my long work days. Lately …
Roasted Beet and Walnut Dip (Gluten Free and Soy Free with Easy Oil Free Option)
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.
Roasted Root Vegetables (vegan, gluten free and soy free)
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
Crispy Oil Free Falafel (with oven and air fryer options)
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.
Tabbouleh Inspired Quinoa Salad (with grain free, raw option)
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.
Wild Rice Salad with Roasted Garlic and Beets
I’ve been on a wild rice kick lately. I just finished making a big pot of this Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup and now I’m making a wild rice salad to take to a (socially distanced, outdoor) holiday dinner. In spite of being served cold, wild rice and roasted beets make this a hearty salad that is definitely suitable for winter and holiday meals.
Sesame Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Tempeh and Kale
Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Many of us remember the bitter, mushy, overcooked Brussels sprouts from childhood. I cringe when I think about eating those. Yet, now, Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite foods. Turns out, it’s all in the preparation. I don’t ever boil them. I prefer to roast Brussels sprouts. Roasting them at a higher temperature makes them tender on the inside with crispy outside leaves.
