We use soy curls to make this, but you can also use cubed tofu. You can either cook this on the stove top, or in a slow cooker (if you have an Instant Pot you can use the slow cook function on it).

    Why Does Instant Pot Food Burn?
    Why does Instant Pot food burn? What would cause the Instant Pot food burn error indicator to come on? There are several reasons that your Instant Pot may display "burn", fortunately they are all easily remedied. Vegan food, like any other food, can burn in an Instant Pot under certain conditions. Of course, the reasons that your food may burn in your Instant Pot, and the remedies, don't just apply to vegan food, they apply to any food that ends up displaying the 'burn' message in your Instant Pot.

    Good Old-Fashioned Vegan Hot Fudge Recipe
    It's easy to find a recipe for vegan hot fudge, but finding a recipe for old-fashioned hot fudge sauce, the kind made nearly a century ago, is a lot harder, because those recipes were a lot scarcer. So we rounded up a cookbook from 1938, and found the hot fudge sauce recipe therein, and veganized it!

    Mazamorra Cordobesa: Ancient Recipe for Almond and Bread Soup from Cordoba, Spain
    Our mazamorra cordobesa recipe is as close to the ancient, authentic recipe as you can get. Mazamorra cordobesa (also sometimes called Cordobense mazamorra) is an ancient recipe for almond and bread soup, served cold and garnished with various garnishes. Now there are many different types of mazamorra, and depending on where you are it may be a drink made from corn (Columbia), a custard (Puerto Rico), a porridge (Costa Rica) or even a dessert (Argentina). But in Spain, and in particular in Cordoba, it is a cold soup, originally served to Roman troops and people working the fields, and made from a few simple ingredients: almonds, stale bread, garlic, a bit of vinegar, and olive oil. And it is astonishingly delicious!

    Tofu Bulgogi Recipe – Vegan Bulgogi for a Taste of Korean BBQ
    Our tofu bulgogi recipe is a vegan take on a traditional Korean beef barbecue recipe. "Bulgogi" literally translates to "fire meat" (so we guess that this is "fire tofu"), and it is probably called such because the traditional marinade includes chili, ginger, garlic, onion, and spring onion. But our version isn't really fire hot, although it is flavorful! Traditional bulgogi marinade also includes about a half a fresh pear, either finely chopped or grated.

    Copycat Chef Babette’s Vegan Enchilada Pie with Polenta and Copycat SIE Sauce
    Looking for the recipe for Chef Babette's vegan enchilada pie casserole? Here it is! A few years ago Chef Babette appeared on the Steve Harvey show, and demonstrated how to make her vegan enchilada pie (which is really a casserole), which includes a polenta base. Steve and Chef Babette, famous for her Stuff I Eat vegan restaurant, promised viewers that the recipe itself, with ingredients and amounts, could be found on Steve Harvey's website, however either they were posted and then quickly taken down, or, perhaps due to oversight, never posted at all. We don't know what happened, but we do know that people have been looking for that recipe ever since. So, we are thrilled to provide you with our copycat version of Chef Babette's vegan enchilada pie with polenta.

    Fabulous Bircher Muesli Recipe – the Original Healthy Overnight Oats Recipe That Doesn’t Have to be Overnight
    Did you know that the healthy overnight oats recipe fad is based on the Bircher muesli recipe which is more than a century old? The whole overnight oats recipe fad seems to have exploded on the scene along with Covid, but back in the 1900 (that's no typo) Dr. Max Bircher invented the original overnight oats recipe, and called it muesli. Prescribing it for his patients, Birchermüesli, named after the good doctor, or, simply, müesli, became a staple breakfast food; muesli is a derivation of "mus", which basically translates to "mush". Dr. Bircher's muesli was made by - wait for it - soaking rolled oats, and adding some other yummy stuff to it. The original Bircher muesli recipe involved soaking the rolled oats in water overnight, and then mixing them with milk or cream, some nuts, some lemon juice, and then grating an entire fresh apple into the mixture, stirring and eating. The lemon juice was to keep the apple from browning. By the way, it doesn't even have to soak overnight, in modern times that whole thing is more about the convenience (stick it in the fridge before you go to bed, it's ready for you in the morning).

    Our Version of the Gluten-Free Vegan No-Knead Life-Changing Loaf of Bread (We think it’s the best yet!)
    This is our version of the no-knead "life-changing loaf of bread" recipe, which is the best gluten-free vegan bread recipe if you love dark chewy whole grain seeded bread, like German brown bread (Vollkornbrot) or the Mestemacher brands of bread. It is wonderful on its own, and exquisite dressed up with some vegan cheese, nut butter, or jam. And it's oh-so-healthful, nutritious and good for you. And, it's very easy to customize and make your own. So while we think that ours is the best version, feel free to switch out the sliced almonds for some other nut, to change out some of the sunflower seeds for other seeds, etc..

    Vegan Gluten-Free Pineapple Upside-Down Cake – Perfect for Picnics and BBQs!
    Our vegan, gluten-free pineapple upside-down cake recipe is the perfect gluten-free pineapple dessert! Many of us have fond memories of sitting outside in the warm sun at a Memorial Day picnic or 4th of July barbecue, digging in to generous helpings of pineapple upside-down cake. Of course, the traditional recipe utilizes all-purpose flour, eggs and milk, but these ingredients aren't necessary for our delicious version. Our recipe uses fresh pineapple instead of canned (but you can also used canned if you prefer). Colorful pomegranate seeds replace the usual Maraschino cherries but of course you can also use the Maraschino cherries if you want to make it more traditional. We make this pineapple upside-down cake for our own Memorial Day bbq, and people are always delighted by the stellar results!

Because all of the hot dogs reviewed in our series are vegan, they are also considered gluten-free veggie hot dogs (or gluten-free vegetarian hot dogs, if you want to be precise). Regardless of what you call them, Yeah Dawg is one of three brands of gluten-free vegan hot dogs available on the market: Yeah Dawg, Sweet Life, and Moving Mountains. Lightlife is not gluten-free, although they are headed in that direction (we have that straight from Lightlife, who cautions that while they are phasing out gluten, there is still stock out on the shelves that contains gluten).

    We start off our review series of gluten-free vegan hot dogs (also called frankfurters or franks) with Moving Mountains brand vegan hot dogs. These are gluten-free by accident, meaning that Moving Mountains didn't set out to intentionally create a hot dog that was gluten-free as well as vegan, but create it they did. While Moving Mountains started out in 2016 by creating vegan hamburgers (not gluten-free), and added vegan hot dogs (yay, gluten-free!) to their repertoire in 2019.

In this review series we will review each of them one at a time, giving our impression of them (taste, texture, ease of cooking, etc.). We'd love to know what you think of them too.

    Our copycat recipe for Jujube Date and Walnut is not only better than the original, but gives you other options as well! The Jujube Date & Walnuts (basically walnut-stuffed dates) are very popular, particularly with the Vegan Costco crowd, but Costco is discontinuing them, so if you are missing your date & walnut fix, this Copycat Jujube date and walnut recipe is for you. It's also for you if you would just like to make your own, and happily you can get both organic dates and organic walnuts at Costco (the Jujubes are not organic). Now, you might think that shoving a walnut into a date hardly qualifies as a recipe, and ordinarily you'd be right. However we do things with dates and walnuts that you may not have considered (yes, as we read that we realized that it could sound kind of naughty, but we're ok with that. :~) ).

    Our recipe for gluten-free vegan Soy Curl bacon hit us like a bolt out of the blue (only way less painful). Vegan bacon from Soy Curls?? Why the heck not? We had recently posted our wildly popular recipe for Soy Curl pastrami, and so it wasn't really a stretch to go from pastrami to bacon. Of course vegan bacon is something of a holy grail. There are lots products on the market that call themselves vegan bacon, and even more recipes for vegan bacon, most involving coconut, tempeh, seaweed, and even the aptly named seitan (oh hush, if you need to be gluten-free you know what we mean). But bacon from Soy Curls beats them all (at least we think so), because it has the flavor, it has the nutrition, and it has the CRISP!

    Wondering what to do with that Himalayan salt block that someone gave you for Christmas years ago? Cooking tofu on a salt block makes wonderful, delicious tofu! Of course we think tofu is wonderful anyways, but in case you're on the fence, this is how to make tofu taste good. (Plus we include an awesome 4-ingredient marinade for tofu!) Some people have a hard time wrapping their head around cooking on a block of salt; it helps to understand that you are basically using the salt block as a griddle (and it will be just as hot as a griddle). While salt block cooking is typically thought of in the context of meat and grilling, cooking tofu on your big old block of salt, on your stove top in your kitchen, yields a tofu unlike any other.

    Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Egg Cups (Vegan Mini Frittatas) and Sandwiches
    Our gluten-free vegan baked egg cups (also known as mini frittatas, chickpea frittatas and, we think misleadingly, "vegan frittata muffins" and "baked egg muffins") have a few simple ingredients, but countless ways to change them up! Load them up with fresh veggies, or rehydrated dried veggies, or have them plain with salt and pepper. We like to mix in rehydrated dried broccoli and dried mushrooms, and then top them (always top them!) with vegan bacon made with our Easy Peasy Vegan Bacon from Coconut Flakes recipe!

    Easy Peasy Gluten-Free Vegan Coconut Bacon
    Our easy peasy gluten-free vegan coconut bacon recipe can be whipped up and ready to eat in just 20 minutes, and it's delicious! This vegan coconut bacon recipe is the third recipe we offer for vegan bacon or vegan bacon bits. The first is for vegan bacon made from dulse. The second is for vegan bacon bits made from textured vegetable protein (TVP). The third, this one, is for vegan bacon made from coconut. Coconut bacon has been around, and even 'all the rage' for a bit now, and so we have, we believe, perfected it. This is the vegan bacon that we use in our gluten-free vegan egg cups, which are like vegan mini frittatas.

    One of the things we missed the most after we decided to pursue a vegan, gluten-free diet was Italian food.

Fortunately, October happens to be mushroom season where we live. Chanterelles were on sale at our local supermarket for an insanely low price, and we had a brainstorm. After some deliberation, we were able to whip up this simple, but elegant dish. It's inexpensive, a cinch to prepare, and will fill you up on a chilly autumnal evening.

    You Won’t Be Able to Stop Eating This Vegan, Gluten-Free Rhubarb/Pear/Almond Crumble!
    It already feels like autumn where we live, and we're craving warmer, heartier foods. Of course, sweet desserts are delicious any time of the year. We recently modified a traditional rhubarb/pear/almond crumble recipe by substituting Earth Balance for butter, and gluten-free flour for the whole wheat kind. Our results were stellar. You'll keep going back to the pan for this dessert -- again, and again and again. Try your hardest not to devour the entire thing!

    Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Apple Cinnamon Pecan Oatmeal
    This delectable Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Apple Cinnamon Pecan Oatmeal is warm with delicious spices that will brighten up the start of your day. This recipe uses steel cut oats, which have more fiber and an amazing slightly crunchy texture. Quick cooking and old-fashioned oats are not the same, and will cook differently - if you choose one of these the time needs to be decreased. The steel cut “groats” are chewier and take longer to cook.

    Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Rice Pudding
    This mouthwatering creamy Instant Pot gluten-free vegan rice pudding is smooth and sweet with only a handful of ingredients! Feel free to use almond, hemp, or dairy-free milk of choice. The nuttier milks add a subtle additional flavor, and coconut milk isn’t recommended as it is too thick for the final dish. Cinnamon powder is optional, but highly recommended! Depending on the toppings you select, the vanilla alone is a great base. Make this rice pudding more traditional with regular or golden raisins soaked in rum, or opt for a handful of other toppings that provide more crunch.

    Dijon-Marinated Wax Bean and Cucumber Salad is a Summer Winner!
    What happened? It's already the end of the summer -- the time when we often have a lot of vegetables left over from our numerous trips to farmer's markets, co-ops, and supermarkets. Two vegetables that seem ubiquitous are cucumbers and wax beans. Recently, we faced a conundrum -- our refrigerator's crisper was filled to overflowing with cukes and beans. We'd rather perish than waste food, especially fresh veggies! Fortunately, with very little fuss, we were able to whip up this yummy salad. It requires few ingredients, and is cheap and easy to make. On those muggy summer nights when hot food is unappealing, this dish is a winner.

    Instant Pot Gluten-Free Vegan Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Hawaiian Red Salt
    These delicious Instant Pot gluten-free vegan creamy mashed potatoes with Hawaiian Red Salt will be the hit of the party! This recipe uses avocado oil to give it creaminess and buttery flavor. Avocado oil blends better with the potatoes in this amount over coconut oil, as the final mash will taste a little too coconutty unless the oil is very refined. Olive oil is a good substitute, but preferably only if avocado oil isn’t available.

    Baba Ghanoush — Naturally Vegan, and a Cinch to Prepare!
    You've most likely had hummus, but have you tried its sweeter, lighter cousin, baba ghanoush? Baba ghanoush is a lot like hummus, since it has a tahini base. However, instead of adding garbanzo beans, this recipe utilizes roasted eggplant. The result is equally delicious. Our light but zesty meal is easy to make, and perfect for warm summer nights. You can serve it with gluten-free pita bread or with gluten-free toast points sprinkled with thyme, olive oil or vegan butter, and a bit of granulated garlic. We feel confident that you'll love this dish either way.

    Peach Cobbler Tastes Great When It’s Vegan and Gluten-Free!
    Is it even summer without peach cobbler? We don't think so! When temperatures are hot and peaches are ripe, what's an enterprising chef to do? The traditional recipe calls for large amounts of butter and white sugar, but you won't miss the rich taste when you bite into our more subtle, but equally delicious version. This cobbler is inexpensive and incredibly easy to make. You can either peel the peaches or leave the peels on. We made our recipe with peels because that's the way we roll. The peels become soft and pliable during the baking process. Also, they're packed with vitamins, so it seems a shame to just toss them out. You're going to love this recipe. We guarantee it!

    Celebrate Summer With Zesty Vegan Jackfruit Tostadas!
    Sometimes it's hard to know what to do with jackfruit. Like tofu, it doesn't have much taste on its own, and must soak up the flavor of other ingredients. Jackfruit's texture is a bit like pulled pork (but without the gristle), so it's great in tacos and tostadas. Recently, we discovered a recipe for jackfruit tostadas that sacrifices none of the heat or flavor of meat, yet is completely vegan and gluten-free! You'll be delighted by the authenticity of this savory dish. Not to mention the low cost of ingredients, and the ease of cooking!

    This delightfully bright gluten-free vegan lemon rice pilaf is the perfect summer addition to your meals. Add some grated lemon rind at the finish for an extra lemon flavor - this dish is amazing with grilled vegetables and tahini or vegan stuffed grape leaves. Pine nuts and sliced almonds are great toppings to provide a little crunch and Middle Eastern flavor. You can find pine nuts or pignoles in specialty stores, the nut aisle, or the deli area. Traditional pilaf does have orzo or vermicelli, both of which are not gluten-free - but with the herbs and nuts, you’ll hardly miss it! If you want to add even more texture, try a mix of half brown and white rice.

    Instant Pot Gluten-Free Vegan Chickpea Kale Soup
    This filling and gluten-free and vegan soup is still light enough to enjoy year-round, and the addition of vibrant green kale brightens up the entire dish. The Instant Pot makes cooking with soaked chickpeas a breeze - if you’re used to using canned chickpeas don’t let the prep scare you. Soaking and cooking your own chickpeas ends up being healthier and cheaper in the long run! The combination of tomato paste and diced tomatoes really helps round out the flavors and creates a rich tomato taste in every bite. The greens can be kale, chard, mustard, or even mixed! Just make sure to take out the tough core from the greens prior to cooking, with only the tender leaves added to the final step.

    What could be better than Sopa Seca de Fideo? Why, easy, delicious, gluten-free and vegan Sopa Seca de Fideo, of course! In case you're wondering just what the heck this dish is, it's called many things in English, including “Mexican Spaghetti”, “Mexican Angel Hair”, “Mexican Pasta” and, quaintly, “Mexican Dry Noodle Soup”. These are all actually misnomers, if you want to get technical, because Sopa Seca de Fideo, if made authentically, is made with fideo noodles. Basically it's thin vermicelli-type noodles cooked in a savory broth, and served as a side dish, although you can also use it as a main dish topped with tofu or vegan chicken (traditional Sopa Seca is made with chicken).

Well it is a vegan binder used in the same way that an egg is used. It can be used in breads, crusts, heavier doughs and other foods where eggs are needed to bind.

    The Creamiest Vegan, Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese
    We came across this way of cooking macaroni and cheese that just made us flip. Of course, it was the gluten-full, dairy version, but we thought we may just try it catered to our diet. Boy are we glad we did! The key is to cook the noodles not in water, but right in the milk alternative! In this case we used almond milk. We tried this with two different types of gluten-free noodles, rice and a quinoa/corn mix.

    Raw Vegan Gluten-Free Almond Ginger Sushi Rolls
    Almond lovers and growers are rejoicing with news from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that almonds have around 20 percent less calories than previously thought. It seems that food scientists have found that the way we have been measuring calories for over 100 years may not be very precise in cases where the food is both high in both fiber and fat, such as nuts. What scientists found is that, those who consume nuts excrete a higher amount of fat in their waste, which means that our bodies are not actually absorbing all of the fat and calories that are in the nuts.

    Sorbet is one of the best desserts for summer. Not only is it light and cold, but to make the freshest, most delicious fruit sorbet, you need to only go to your local farmers market and grab whichever fruit is in season. Strawberries, blueberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries - you name it! If you are unable to go to your local farmer's market, don't have one near you, or want to hasten the process, just buy some frozen organic fruit from your local grocers.

    Urge Aveda to Help Stop Cruelty to Roosters by the Feather Hair Extensions Industry
    One of the biggest reasons that we are vegan is out of concern for animals. While some are vegan by necessity, say because of allergies, the vast majority of vegans feel that animals should not suffer and die for food when there are plenty of other delicious, sustaining foods. Because animal welfare is a concern of vegans, we are particularly disheartened to hear about instances when animals suffer and die for other needless purposes such as entertainment and fashion.

We have to stress that, when cooking with syrup, it makes all of the difference to cook with real syrup, not the stuff that is commonly hawked on Saturday morning commercials. A lot of the commercial syrup sold isn’t even true maple syrup at all, it’s just high fructose corn syrup. True maple syrup is a bit more watery than the commercial stuff, and has a much richer flavor.

Head Chef Annie Sommerville has led the way with decadent, plant-based dishes from the beginning, and brings her expertise and mouth-watering recipes to this generously-filled cookbook.

    National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 10: Vegan, Gluten-Free Spinach and Potato Curry
    This unbelievably fragrant and delicious vegan, gluten-free spinach and potato curry recipe is a satisfying and hearty dish. We pulled this recipe from the amazing book, the Ayurvedic Cookbook (affiliate link). Ayurveda originated in India over 5,000 years ago and is the traditional medicine practiced there still today. It focuses on achieving and maintaining a balance through exercise, lifestyle and, as highlighted in this book, diet.

    National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 9: Vegan, Gluten-Free Summer Berry Compote – Vegan AIP Friendly!
    With yesterday’s recipe on vegan, gluten-free ginger ale, we thought we needed a light little snack to go with it! This beautiful dish is rich with berries and sweetness, cut with a slight tart flavor. Now that we are headed into summer, farmers markets and other organic markets are brimming with beautiful vibrant berries at the peak of perfect flavor. This dish is served cold from the refrigerator and so is perfect on a hot day for a refreshing treat. This dish is from one of our favorite recipe books, Raw for Dessert by Jennifer Cornbleet

    National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 8: Vegan, Gluten-Free Ginger Ale (Alua de Milho)
    We thought a fun way to celebrate National Celiac Awareness Month would be to include a delicious drink! While many beverages are gluten-free, they are often made with white sugar, which is usually not vegan. For a little exotic flare, we turned to one of our favorite Brazilian cookbooks, Brazil: A Culinary Journey. This drink, called Alua de Milho in Brazil, is very similar to what we call ginger ale in America. Made with simple ingredients, you can easily cut this recipe in half if you want to make a little less.

    National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 7: Vegan, Gluten-Free Vegetable Chips That Won’t Go to Your Hips! Vegan AIP Friendly!
    It wouldn't be a thorough celebration of National Celiac Awareness month if we didn't include some snacks! We love snacks, and tend to be grazers; grabbing a bit of this and that throughout the day. The problem with grazing is that those calories can add up quickly! So we've gotten much better about ensuring that we are grazing on food that is not going to make us weep when we get on the scale!

    We love rice in just about any preparation, so we will find any excuse to make it. Cinco de Mayo week is a perfect reason to make it! Mexican rice is a favorite of many because it is delicious blend of tomatoes, green peppers, onions and garlic. Add the fresh cilantro and this is a dish is a burst of flavor! We adapted this dish from one of our favorite Mexican cookbooks, Aprovecho: A Mexican-American Border Cookbook.

    Today we thought we’d add a delicious dessert into the mix! But to stick with our Cinco de Mayo theme we are bringing you a dessert recipe with jalapenos. You read the right, jalapeno dessert! Jalapenos originated in Mexico and we typically see two types in our supermarket produce section: red and green. What many don’t know is that they are the same jalapeno, it's just that the green ones were picked before they fully ripened and turned red.

We are huge fans of lime crema, so gleefully made this dish solely thinking about the lime crema. The recipe calls for soy yogurt, but we prefer almond yogurt and used that instead.

    It’s Cinco de Mayo week here at the Happy Gluten Free Vegan and we are so excited to start making some delicious vegan, gluten-free mexican food! Mexican fare is often the staple of those who are newly vegan and/or gluten-free because it is one of the easiest cuisines to eat when following this dietary lifestyle. With a base of corn, rather than flour, and plenty of delicious veggies and spices as the mainstay of their dishes, it is the perfect option for the conscious consumer.

    National Celiac Awareness Month Kickoff
    May marks National Celiac Awareness month! This is a month that is near and dear to our hearts as we have many readers who are gluten-free due to celiac disease. Celiac disease is a condition that affects the digestive track and is exacerbated by the consumption of foods containing gluten such as bread, pasta, cookies and cakes. When gluten-containing foods are consumed, the inner surface of the small intestines is damaged and can cause a variety of issues such as diarrhea, gas and bloating.

    Kids’ Week: Delicious Vegan, Gluten-Free Kids’ Drinks
    We are closing out kid’s week here at the Happy Gluten Free Vegan, and we decided to devote today’s post to drinks! Delicious beverages are a great way to give your child a treat outside of water, juice and soy milk. Treating them does not have to mean filling up on sugar and high fructose corn syrup-laden sodas and fruit beverages! Even so-called juices contain surprising ingredients. Next time you are at the supermarket, take a moment to look at the labels on juice bottles; some of the juices that call themselves “natural” are still full of sugar. They often try to make it sound nicer by calling it “pure cane sugar”, but a rose by any other name is still a rose!

Obviously there are tons of great non-dairy ice creams available, but there is a great sense of satisfaction in making it yourself.

We realized that one of the key foods that kids love is grilled cheese! And we cannot blame them, it is one of our favorite comfort foods! Sadly, the reason that gluten free, vegan kids can’t have this dish is because literally every ingredient doesn't agree with this type of diet!

    Kid’s Week! Vegan, Gluten-Free Banana-Buckwheat Pancakes
    One of the toughest dietary lifestyles to lead is that of the gluten-free vegan; but perhaps tougher is if it is not you leading that lifestyle, but your child having to do so out of necessity. One of our close friends recently had to switch her child to a dairy-free, gluten free diet due to allergies and is now finding herself having to rethink the entire way she prepares food. While many who are vegan and gluten free by choice were able to make a gradual switch to the diet as they learned more about how to cook within the guidelines, people who suddenly have to switch because of dietary issues with their kids are often left scrambling for diet-appropriate foods that will also be kid-approved.

    Crushed Beetles and Carmine – the Hidden Places Where You May be Consuming it
    Do you love the color pink enough to consume bugs in order to have pink food or drinks? Well Starbucks, and many other food retailers, think the pink is important enough to sneak crushed-up beetles into your consumables for the purpose of, ironically, making them seem more appetizing. That’s right, if you are in love with any of Starbucks strawberry-based drinks, such as the Strawberries and Creme frappuccino and strawberry smoothie, as well as their popular Birthday Cake Pop, mini donuts with icing and Red Velvet Whoopee Pie, you have been consuming bugs.

The all vegan fast food and vegan comfort food (including gluten-free vegan food!) is currently setting up shop in the location previously filled by Rumbi Grill, at 29th Street Mall next door to the Smiling Moose Cafe. Rumour has it that they will be open by May, and judging by the progress we see whenever we are in the area, we think that is probably right. The Native Foods Cafe Boulder menu is already up by the door, and it looks fantastic. They are set to become the first openly kid-friendly vegan restaurant in Boulder (with a separate child-friendly menu), and they even have separate gluten-free and soy-free menus! Here is a small taste (no pun intended!) of the Boulder Native Foods Cafe menu:

    This delicious gluten-free and vegan cheese cracker soup recipe tastes just like those delicious cheese crackers that are neither vegan nor gluten-free! In fact, the only reason we don't call it "cheeze it soup" is because we don't want people to think that it's made with Cheez-it crackers. While of course some of the cheesy flavor of this soup comes from nutritional yeast (also known as 'nooch'), don't discount the other ingredients; to paraphrase Aristotle, the whole of this soup is definitely greater than the sum of its parts!

The love children of pumpkin bread and carrot cake, you won't be able to eat just one, and neither will anybody else whom you let taste them! They are pretty moist in the middle; to make them more cake-like, bake them a bit longer, in a slightly slower oven.

One of those hidden gotchas is that a lot of sugar - especially white sugar - is not vegan or even vegetarian. (For our purposes, we are using 'vegan' to mean "contains no animal products and no animal had to die for the product to be produced", and 'vegetarian' to mean "no animal had to die for the product to be produced", but may contain animal products such as milk or eggs.) So, back to sugar: what on earth isn't vegetarian or vegan about sugar? Here's what.
