The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan

Our gluten-free vegan roast beef recipe is truly amazing! Once cooled and refrigerated this vegan roast beef slices beautifully, and is perfect for sandwiches! Gluten-free vegan mock meats are the holy grail of vegan meats; there are lots of great vegan meats in the stores now, but the majority of them contain vital wheat gluten, or seitan, or some other wheat or gluten ingredient. So if you’re gluten free and you’ve been craving that perfect vegan roast beef, for that perfect vegan roast beef sandwich with a bit of horseradish, here you go!

Chilly temperatures may have you longing for a warmer climate. However, if you lack the time and/or money for an impromptu tropical vacation, this zesty dish is the next best thing. It’s exotic, inexpensive, and incredibly easy to prepare. Our sweet-and-sour recipe calls for diced tempeh, rather than meat. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and filling!

Being gluten-free and vegan doesn’t mean that you have to forego that ultimate of comfort foods: the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup! Now you can easily have a gluten-free vegan grilled cheese sandwich and our gluten-free vegan cream of tomato soup! We call this a vegan Costco recipe because we get the ingredients from Costco, and we call this a quarantine recipe because the ingredients are all shelf-stable.

These vegan, gluten-free dessert balls are so delicious that you’ll want to eat them up immediately. Do it, because they are so easy to make that you can quickly and easily make more! We have to confess that when we developed these our first thought was “Unhh”. (Our second thought was of that classic SNL skit, with Alec Baldwin’s Pete Schweddy and his delicious Schweddy Balls.) They aren’t very pretty (although there are ways to make them prettier), and they don’t have many ingredients, and they are incredibly easy to make, so yeah, we were dubious. Until we bit into one (ok, we put the whole thing in our mouth). Whoaaaa! We immediately dubbed these “Amazeballs”.

Want to make a gluten-free vegan shepherd’s pie but don’t have any leftover mashed potatoes, and don’t want to go through the trouble of making mashed potatoes just for shepherd’s pie? (After all, isn’t the whole purpose of shepherd pie to use up leftovers, or at least to be able to easily throw something together without having to, you know, cut, boil, and mash potatoes?) Well our “inside-out” vegan shepherd’s pie is just what you need, and it’s naturally gluten-free too!

If you are trying to figure out how to find out if your Costco has something in stock, we’re here to tell you! It would be nice if you could check Costco inventory online, like with an in-store items search, and while you can’t do that, exactly, there are ways to find out if your Costco has something that you want before you make a trip or place a delivery order.

A great deal has been made of Alison Roman’s Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric, known now as simply “The Stew” (it’s that good!) or even #TheStew. Here is how to make it vegan, gluten-free, and in the Instant Pot!

Our recipe for vegan Greek frappe will astound you if you’ve never made or had a Greek frappe before. Now, if you’re from certain parts of the U.S. you may think of a frappe as the same thing as a milkshake, but a Greek frappe is nothing like that. A Greek frappe is an amazing, foamy, refreshing iced coffee drink!

Who can resist a delicious piece of rich, creamy fudge? Certainly not the intrepid chefs at The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan! Most of us have blissful memories of devouring these chocolate-y confections.

You wouldn’t believe how bready (in a good way) these gluten-free vegan sandwich rolls are! And they are so easy to make, and yeast-free to boot! Also great for avocado toast! Plus you can also make them into bread rolls!

This sous vide vegan meatballs and mushrooms recipe is so incredibly easy that it may be the thing that pushes you to get a sous vide device!

With today being the first Sunday of National Celiac Awareness Month, and the first Sunday that we have published a post, we thought it would be appropriate to include a dish for breakfast or brunch! Sunday breakfasts and brunches are among our favorite meals, and nothing welcomes a new Sunday like the smell of delicious baking muffins, wafting through the house.

When the temperatures plummet, there’s nothing more soothing than soup. A warm bowl is like heaven on a winter evening, when you want to nourish yourself but don’t feel much like cooking.

Our gluten-free vegan version of the Chex party mix (also called the ‘nuts and bolts snack mix’) will have you and your guests hitting the bowl again and again! This perennial party favorite has been around for over 70 years! So you know that it’s doing something right, and scratching that need-to-snack itch! Now you can serve it up gluten-free vegan style and your guests will never know the difference!

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.

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.

One of the things that makes it difficult for some vegetarians to cut out dairy is cheese. In part this is because it’s an easy and tasty source of protein. Our super-easy cheese sauce has 16 grams of protein in a full batch. The other issue is taste, and our cheese sauce is the closest we have come to tasting like actual dairy-based cheese sauce.

Chick peas are a good source of protein, fiber, iron and vitamin B-6, making them an excellent food for vegans. Chick peas also make an excellent mock tuna salad, which is perfect for lunches, quick dinners, or hearty snacks.

Chili and cornbread are a natural pairing. These recipes for vegan chili and gluten-free vegan cornbread are easy to make, and delicious!

This easy vegan butter recipe will give any of the commercial vegan butters a run for their money, with great taste and fewer ingredients!
