vegan and gluten free food
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 …
Eating seasonally is a great way to get the most from your food. Vegetables that are in season are fresher, more nutrient dense, less expensive and they don’t require extensive travel and resources to get to you. These recipes make Spring seasonal eating easy and delicious.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ginger and sweet potatoes are nutritional powerhouses. This soup is a staple in my house and the addition of ginger makes it especially warming on cold days.
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.
