The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan

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.

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.

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!

Over the Christmas holiday at Chez Chef, we found ourself with pre-shelled, pre-cooked chestnuts, a half an onion, and an apple. We kept looking at these three things and thinking “Hrrmm, those really seem to want to go together.” So we let them be together, in what turned out to be an incredible, and extremely easy, pureed soup! This delicious soup has only a few ingredients, the alchemy is in how they blend together.

So many people have asked “Can you cook pasta right in the sauce in the Instant Pot?” and the answer is yes! You can cook the sauce and pasta together at the same time in an Instant Pot! Here’s how! We call this a Costco recipe because we use one or more ingredients from Costco, but of course you don’t have to.

Deciding whether to call it a “vegan omelet” or a “vegan omelette” is the hardest thing about this oven-baked vegan omelette recipe, because it’s that easy! Plus our oven-baked vegan omelette recipe has no chickpea flour, no tofu, in fact no soy at all, because it uses Just Egg! This makes for an incredibly easy breakfast, brunch or dinner main dish which you can stuff with lots of yummy add-ins, and which needs no babysitting because it’s baked in the oven! And because you can even freeze Just Egg liquid right in the bottle, it just doesn’t get any easier! Grab a bottle from your freezer, let it thaw, and put your vegan omelet in the oven!
