The Best Vegan Wings Recipe – 1 Ingredient, 3 Easy Steps
This is absolutely the best gluten-free vegan wings recipe! (It’s kind of hard for us to say “vegan chicken wings”, so we won’t, except right here to say that it’s hard to say.) Our vegan wing recipe has got just one ingredient, you make it in three easy steps, and the texture is fantastic! Dip them (or slather them) in our Copycat Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce!
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.

We told you that they’re versatile!

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.

Craving empanadas but they have to be gluten-free vegan empanadas? Our mock empanadas will hit the spot! Why do we call them “mock empanadas”? Well that’s part of why they are fast and easy!

Not Dogs – Easy Tofu Dogs Vegan Hot Dog Recipe
Our recipe for Not Dogs tofu dogs is our favorite vegan hot dog recipe and, it turns out, our favorite gluten-free vegan hot dogs of all. (But they are not copycat Tofu Pups, because the ingredients are much cleaner.)
Review of Yeah Dawg Gluten-Free Vegan Hot Dogs
The third in our series of reviews of gluten-free vegan hot dogs is the Yeah Dawg review. 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).
Sweet Earth Vegan Gluten-Free Hot Dogs: A Review
This is the second in our series of reviews of vegan hot dogs that are also gluten-free. Sweet Earth hot dogs are not intentionally gluten-free, and maybe not even intentionally vegan, but happily they are both vegan and gluten-free. As we mention in our introduction to the vegan gluten-free hot dogs review series, there are three brands that are both vegan and gluten-free: Moving Mountains (available only at Costco online), Yeah Dawg, and these, Sweet Earth hot dogs.
Moving Mountains Vegan Gluten-Free Hot Dogs: A Review, including How to Cook Moving Mountains Hot Dogs
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.
Great Gluten-Free Vegan Veggie Hot Dogs – a Review Series from the Happy Gluten-Free Vegan
The winner of the best vegan hot dogs is…. There are a total of three brands of gluten-free vegan hot dogs or gluten-free veggie hot dogs (a/k/a frankfurters or franks) on the market right now (Lightlife are not fully gluten-free): Sweet Earth vegan hot dogs (which are gluten-free by chance), Moving Mountains vegan hot dogs (also gluten-free by chance, not as an intention), and Yeah Dawg, which are not only vegan but also gluten-free by design. 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. (Side note: Why the heck do so many vegan things have to have gluten in them?? :~( )
Maple-Glazed Cedar-Planked Tofu
Ok you know what maple-glazed means, but, you may be thinking, what the heck is cedar-planked? Or maybe you are already familiar with the more traditional maple-glazed cedar-planked salmon, which was all the rage among foodies some years ago. Regardless, cedar-planked means that the food is literally baked or roasted on a cedar plank in your oven! It’s amazing because it imparts this slightly sweet, slightly smoky, slightly cedary flavor.
Tofu Cooked on a Salt Block (Plus Another Awesome and Easy Tofu Marinade!)
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.
Make a Gluten-Free Vegan Reuben! Vegan Pastrami from Soy Curls! (Yes, Really!)
Our homemade vegan pastrami recipe is so good that it has been judged “perfect” even by pastrami-loving carnivores! Have it plain, make a vegan pastrami reuben, or toss it with noodles and sauerkraut! And it’s not even complicated to make, in fact making our vegan pastrami recipe is easy! Now, of course, your vegan pastrami from Soy Curls won’t be in thin slices, but it will be in strips, perfect for putting on a sandwich with some delicious deli mustard, or with sauerkraut, vegan Russian dressing, and vegan cheese for that vegan pastrami reuben!
Our Incredibly Easy and Delicious ‘6 x 1’ Tofu Marinade and Sauce
We call this easy tofu marinade and sauce our “6 x 1” marinade (pronounced “six by one”, or just “six by”) because it consists of one tablespoon of each of six ingredients (plus some water). It’s super simple, in fact deceptively simple. We say “deceptively” because it’s one of those recipes that people will think you spent waaaay more time and effort on than you actually did. We love those kinds of recipes.
