  Why Is My LightLife Tempeh Black and Is It Ok to Eat?

  Has this ever happened to you? You open a brand new package of Lightlife sliced tempeh (also called 'tempe' by some), such as the bacon flavored tempeh, and it is covered in what appears to be black mold or some sort of black spoilage? So you freak out, check the 'best by' date (which is likely still weeks out), and try to figure out just what could have gone so horribly wrong?

  Super Easy, Versatile and Delicious Vegan Spicy Asian Peanut Sauce

  The reason we say that this very easy, vegan spicy Asian peanut sauce is versatile is because you can use it for so many things! Toss baked, steamed, or fried tofu with it, put it over rice, or use it over noodles to make dan dan mein. Or thin it out a bit and use it as a dipping sauce for potstickers, spring rolls, or vegan egg rolls!

  Will it Creami? Vegan Chocolate Pudding Cups

  This is part of our "Will it Creami?" series, in which we dump something in the Ninja Creami and see if it will turn into an edible ice cream, sorbet, or other divine frozen concoction! In this episode we try dumping premade vegan chocolate pudding into the Creami container, freezing it, and "spinning" (i.e. churning) it. In fact, it was the first thing we tried for "Will it Creami?"

  Will it Creami? Amazing 3-Ingredient Silken Tofu Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream

  As we have dedicated our explorations with our new Ninja Creami to lazy vegans everywhere, we have determined to discover as many "dump and freeze" things as we can, giving rise to our "Will it Creami?" series of posts and recipes. Today we are turning our attention to that unsung hero of the tofu world, the shelf-stable silken tofu. We can just hear you now: "Tofu in ice cream??" Yes, our pretties, tofu not only in ice cream, but tofu as ice cream! We promise that it will blow your mind, because it's actually deeeelicious!

  The Lazy Vegan’s Guide to the Ninja Creami: We Explain Where Are the Fill Lines and How Hot Should the Hot Water be for Slushies?

  In case you're not familiar with the Ninja Creami, it works a bit differently from other home ice cream makers. With many home ice cream makers you have to freeze a relatively large, double-walled metal bowl, then put your ingredients in and process it. Of course, you still need your ingredients to be frozen with the Creami, but instead of having to freeze a big old bowl, which you will need to refreeze after you use it before you can make more ice cream, the Creami ingeniously has you freeze your ingredients right in the pint (or "larger pint", depending on which model you get) containers in which you will blend and also store your frozen confections. This also means that you can have several in your freezer, pre-frozen and ready to go! Brilliant!!

  How to Make that Viral TikTok Maple Syrup Olive Oil Caramel Sauce – With a Twist!

  A vegan caramel sauce recipe made with olive oil and maple syrup?? Yes! And our twist on it brings it to a whole new level of foodgasm!The Internet is a'buzz with @fitgreenmind's viral TikTok video showing a very simple recipe, or hack if you will, of taking olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, and turning it into smooth, delicious caramel sauce. Now, this is not as outlandish as it may seem at first glance. Traditional caramel sauce recipes nearly all call for butter, cream, and sugar. In other words, to make a delicious caramel sauce you need fat and something sweet. In the olive oil and maple syrup recipe, the olive oil takes the place of the fat from the butter and cream, while the maple syrup provides the something sweet, and together they provide the mouthfeel.

  Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Ginger Snaps and Hermit Cookies

  This easy recipe can be done two ways to yield either delicious vegan and gluten-free ginger snaps, or vegan, gluten-free hermit cookies. In case you're not familiar with hermits, they are a sweet, spicey, raisin-studded cookie or bar that was popular in (and probably originated in) New England. Of course, they were neither vegan nor gluten-free, as are ours.

  Super-Easy Creamy Vegan Salad Dressing and Dip Using Shelf-Stable Boxed Soft Silken Tofu!

  One of the coolest things about the shelf-stable, aseptic-boxed Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is how utterly versatile it is. Yet this unsung hero of the vegan world is often overlooked, passed by on store shelves for its water-packed, refrigerated cousins. Hopefully our easy creamy vegan salad dressing and dip recipe will change that! (By the way, the Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is considered 'soft tofu'; it doesn't say it anywhere on the box but that has been confirmed by Mori-nu. This is important to know as there is such a thing as firm silken tofu and even extra-firm silken tofu.)

  Easy Vegan Gluten-Free Faux Sourdough Rye Bread

  After perfecting our gluten-free vegan bread (no yeast, either!), we were hankering for some rye bread, and we figured out that our basic bread recipe was hearty enough to masquerade as rye bread if we just added some caraway seeds.

And that's when we realized that our magic secret ingredient could do the trick!

  No-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies are a classic recipe, but of course most recipes for them aren't vegan, as the traditional no-bake oatmeal cookies contain both milk and butter.

  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.

  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!

  Our copycat Miyoko's liquid vegan pizza mozzarella recipe (or as we like to call it, pizzarella) surprised even us with how great it is! Like Miyoko's version, ours is based in cashews, but our copycat liquid pizza mozzarella cheese has only ingredients that you probably already have at home.

  Homemade Gluten-Free Vegan Beef Tips from Soy Curls

  Gluten-free vegan beef strips, also called vegan beef tips and vegan beef tenders, are really hard to find, so make your own!

  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.

  List of Ingredients in Costco Vegan Multivitamins by Kirkland

  The organic vegan multivitamin at Costco is really excellent, and popular. So it seemed crazy to us that as popular as these organic vegan multivitamins by Kirkland are, it seems impossible to find the ingredient list and nutritional content online, other than in an image! So we grabbed the label and transcribed as text, so that people searching for it can find it.

  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.

  Super-Easy Gluten-Free Vegan Peach Cobbler

  This gluten-free vegan peach cobbler recipe is easy and utterly delicious! And because it is a peach cobbler recipe using canned peaches, it is not only really easy to make, it's also really fast!

  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..

  The Best Vegan Chili Dogs Recipe – Just in Time for the 4th of July!

  Vegan chili dogs! Get your vegan chili dogs!

As any chili dog aficionado will tell you, the sort of chili that you use to top a hot dog, to make it a chili dog, is very important. Typically the chili for a chili dog has no beans, and no vegetables, just pure meat. So how to create an authentic yet vegan chili dog? TVP, baby! TVP, and the right sauce and spicing. Here you go!

While many such pies rely on tofu or avocado, there is none of that in this vegan pie recipe. What this vegan chocolate cream pie does have is a fantastic deep chocolate taste, and a luxurious smooth texture that holds its shape even at room temperature.

  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!

  Awesome Vegan Peanut Butter Bacon Protein Truffles

  These gluten-free vegan peanut butter bacon protein balls are a great vegan alternative to the protein truffles MyProtein offers. While the protein truffles MyProtein features seem to be all the rage, they are not only not vegan, but by all accounts they don't even taste that good. On the other hand, our vegan peanut butter bacon truffles are delicious! They are also super easy to make, and the truffles (balls) themselves have only 3 ingredients, all available at Costco, or any major grocery store, or even on Amazon: peanut butter, protein powder, and peanut butter powder.

  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

  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.

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?? :~( )

  Copycat Jujube Date and Walnut Recipe

  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. :~) ).

In fact, they have just 5 ingredients: dates, almonds, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. They also have a secret: While they are fantastic as is, they are amazing if you heat them up in an air fryer for a few minutes, or in the microwave for a few seconds! Then they come this magical best of all worlds, raw cookie dough with warm gushy chocolate chips!

  Move Over Coconut Bacon – Gluten-Free Vegan Soy Curl Bacon is in the House!

  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!

  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.

There are as many marinade recipes for tofu as there are, well, maybe not stars in the sky, but there are a lot of tofu marinade recipes, and we will put this one up against any of them. The secret to this easy, incredible marinade and its fabulous, magical alchemy with tofu is in how you press the tofu, and then letting the tofu marinate for a good long time. For this recipe it is imperative that you use the type of tofu that is found packed in water, in the refrigerated section. We use the House brand tofu from Costco for this, and it's perfect.

  Our copycat Cocomel vegan caramels recipe (made from coconut milk) is incredibly easy to make and takes only 3 ingredients! This is our own recipe for vegan caramels, developed after we realized that all of the recipes for coconut milk caramels out there are basically copies of the Saveur recipe (right down to the word-for-word copied "combine the sugar and the water and stir until sugar is wet" instructions). And most of them use use corn syrup, and also some sort of fat (vegan butter or solid coconut oil), and ... water?? WTF? Cocomels don't have that stuff in them! The ingredients for Cocomels are organic coconut milk, organic brown rice syrup, organic dried cane syrup, sea salt, and xanthan gum. Period. The ingredients for our copycat Cocomels vegan caramels are organic coconut milk, organic brown rice syrup, and organic sugar. No xanthan gum. For this recipe we use the organic coconut milk and organic sugar from Costco (but of course you don't have to).

  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.

  Yes You Can Freeze ‘Just Egg’ and Here’s How to Do It

  Even though the Just company doesn't recommend it, you can freeze Just Egg just fine (see what we did there?), and neither you nor the Just Egg will suffer any ill effects. Now, to be clear, we are talking about bottles of Just Egg, the kind that you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Just Egg does also put out a frozen, precooked product, called Just Egg Folded, that you pop in the toaster and then put on a sandwich; that's not what we are talking about here - we're talking about the original, liquid Just Egg.

  Awesome Gluten-Free Vegan Oven-Baked Hash Browns

  We love us some hash brown potatoes, and we particularly like the shelf-stable cartons of dried hashbrowns (the manufacturer has it as one word even though technically it's two words) that you can get from Costco. You just open the top of the carton, pour in boiling water, and let it sit for 12 minutes: presto! Enough shredded raw hashed potatoes to feed a small army - if that army is 2-4 people. The carton says it makes seven servings, but c'mon, who do they think they're kidding?

  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!

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".

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Italian Fettucine is So Easy to Make!

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

Recently, we found ourselves with a small sack of red potatoes -- don't ask how THAT happened -- and wanted to do something fancier than just boiling them and slathering some Earth Balance over the top. So we modified a German potato salad recipe, substituting tempeh bacon for the animal variety, and were wowed by the results! We found smoky bacon tempeh at the supermarket, and found that it imparted the delicious flavor that is so essential to German potato salad.

This recipe makes a rather liquidy soup, so cut down on the vegetable broth if you wish to have something thicker and more stew-like. You can also blend it for a few seconds with an immersion blender to achieve a creamier texture - but not too long, you are just trying to thicken it a bit, not make it smooth!

Choose apples that are in season for the best flavor, and feel free to mix up the types of apples for unique combinations. Add in a little agave if you have apples that might not be as flavorful, on-season, or if the apples are more tart, like Granny Smith green apples. More often than not, though, the apples are so sweet on their own that you don’t need any additional sweeteners!

  Our recipe for vegan egg bites in the Instant Pot is so easy, and delicious! For weeks we searched for the holy grail of vegan egg recipes: a recipe for vegan egg bites in the Instant Pot.

In fact it took us way longer to type this up than it did to make the vegan egg bites!

  Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Spicy Salsa

  This Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Spicy Salsa is so easy, you’ll never buy pre-made again! This party-pleasing dip goes great with tortilla chips, on top of baked potatoes, added in chilis and soups, and mixed into beans and rice. Add in cilantro and herbs to taste, and fresh herbs are best. Pour into cute jars and give to friends as a quick gift with chips. Make your salsa even more like a restaurant style by blending your vegetables until puréed smoothly. A courser vegetable chop has wonderful texture and a great handmade flair, and is a prettier garnish. Don’t be tempted to take the sugar out - it balances both the acid from the vinegar and the tartness of the tomatoes!

  Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Lemon Brussels Sprouts with Slivered Almonds (and Easy to Make Vegan AIP Friendly)

  This yummy vegetable dish is quick and easy to put together. The brightness of the lemon flavor is extremely tasty with the toasted almonds! A great summer side dish of green vegetables with a satisfying crunch. Feel free to substitute toasted pine nuts in place of the almonds, as they also can add a nutty, creamy flavor to the overall dish. Avocado oil is a tasty oil with a high smoking point and healthy fats. There are a number of good reasons to include avocado oil when eating vegetables - it may increase the absorption of antioxidants and nutrients as well as being naturally anti-inflammatory! If you don’t have any on hand, olive oil also works well as a substitute.

  Instant Pot Gluten-free Vegan Asparagus Soup

  This deliciously light and bright Instant Pot gluten-free vegan asparagus soup is a yummy way to get in vegetables. It’s light enough to have in the summer without being too heavy. The potatoes make the soup creamy without any extra nut or plant milks. White pepper is used instead of black to allow for the green color to shine, but black pepper also works well. Top with crunchy tortilla strips, dairy-free yogurt or sour cream, pine nuts, or even sunflower seeds for a nice salty, crunchy garnish. Olive oil can be used in place of avocado oil, but the latter provides a nice buttery flavor.

  These Instant Pot Gluten Free Vegan Perfectly Baked Sweet Potatoes are easy to make and don’t take an hour to bake. Enjoy the health benefits of sweet potatoes, as they are rich in fiber and antioxidants, without even having to cut them up.

Make a bunch of baked potatoes and serve as a side or use for a potato bar. On busy nights, pop these in the Instant Pot and your vegetables are deliciously and healthfully steamed!

  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.

  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.

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Ketchup made from Tomatoes and Plums

  We defy you to read a copy of the Inspired Vegan and not get hungry. All of the recipes are distinct, but relatively easy to make. This recipe caught our eye because it is such an unexpected marrying of flavors. Tangy tomatoes and red wine vinegar are paired with sweet plums and agave nectar. It is rounded out with red onions and lemon juice. A smattering of sea salt tops off this dish for a wonderful medley of some of nature's best offerings. We hope you enjoy it!

It is going to be fall before we know it, so time to start gathering delicious recipes such as this one, to get us through the cool evenings.

  Julia Child’s 100th Birthday Celebration Week: Vegan and Gluten-Free Rice Soubise

  August 15th would have been Julia Child's birthday and so we are celebrating Julia Child this week the only way we know how! Turning some of her wonderful recipes into vegan and gluten free versions for all to enjoy! While some purists may think that Julia Child would roll over in her grave to know that her recipes were being altered to be both vegan and gluten-free, what we do know about Julia is her extraordinary passion for delicious food and that others enjoy it. And while some are vegan and gluten-free by choice, many are vegan and gluten-free out of necessity.

  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.

  Gluten-Free Vegan Fried Pickles with Better Batter Gluten Free Seasoned Flour

  No matter how healthfully you normally eat, sometimes you just need to indulge in something decadent. We went crazy for this gluten free seasoned batter mix by Better Batter and immediately started thinking of everything we could bread with it. Pickles were one of the first things we thought of and we were not disappointed. Make a big batch of these as a snack or for a barbecue; they are sure to be a hit!

  Faerie’s Finest Vegan and Gluten-free Flavor Extracts

  One of the biggest obstacles that those who are vegan and gluten-free have to overcome is finding ingredients that are both. Flavor extracts often contain ingredients that are neither vegan (carmine from beetles) or gluten-free (wheat derivatives). This can be tough for those who love to bake, but who need to be sure that their ingredients are safe for them to eat.

  Vegan Gluten-Free Garbanzo Bean and Avocado Salad

  We love a colorful salad! The more colors in a salad the more nutrients the salad contains. This salad does not disappoint, with vibrant red tomatoes, bright orange carrots, pretty red onions and bright green avocados. With the added vitamin C of the lime and lemon juice, this salad is like a bowl-full of good nutrition!

  Gluten-Free and Vegan Bacon Flavored Olive Oil by Queen Creek Olive Mill

  The bacon craze has hit America full swing, and it seems that everyone is jumping on board. Bacon, and bacon flavoring, can be found in just about everything - from lip balm, to ice cream, to cake frosting. Naturally we have not jumped on that bandwagon, although we are in love with these vegan, gluten-free bacon bits. But we were intrigued when we came across Queen Creek Olive Mill's vegan, gluten-free bacon flavored olive oil.

  Quick Vegan Gluten-Free Taco Shells

  The great thing about most Mexican dishes is that they are gluten-free by accident. Because so much Mexican cooking uses corn, instead of flour, all you really need to do to make a Mexican dish edible is to use vegan products such as vegan sour cream, refried beans and your favorite vegan cheese.

  Raw, Vegan and Gluten-Free Peach and Plum Cobbler

  We flipped for this recipe in August’s edition of VegNews magazine. When we read “vegan creme fraiche” was part of the recipe (and it included the recipe for vegan creme fraiche), we were hooked. If it’s creamy and vegan, we’re there! And it is raw to boot!

  Vegan, Gluten Free Organic Fruit Sorbet without an Ice Cream Maker – Vegan AIP Friendly!

  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. If you go the fresh fruit option, you will want to freeze it overnight before using them in this recipe. So wash them, peel and chop (if necessary), and put in a container and freeze.

  Gluten-Free, Vegan Spicy Italian Sausages

  Nothing beats a delicious vegan, gluten-free spicy italian sausage. A barbecued spicy Italian sausage reminds us of summer, baseball games, cool lemonade and running through the sprinklers. We found this delightful recipe on The Vee Word blog and knew as soon as we saw it that it would be simply scrumptious. As the author points out, the key to this recipe is Xanthan Gum.

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Sausage or Meatballs

  We flipped when we saw this recipe for “Beetballs”; vegan, gluten-free sausage balls. This recipe comes courtesy of the Fat Free Vegan blog. With a dash of hot smoked paprika, cheesy-flavored nutritional yeast and liquid smoke, these delicious beetballs are perfect atop a plate of squash spaghetti with lovely marinara sauce.

  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.

  Spicy Vegan Black Bean Soup

  We were so excited to come across this delicious recipe from the Feasting Freds website, adapted from Cooks Illustrated. We love black beans because they are filling, versatile and good for you. If you like a Latin flare to your food, this dish is for you! It is extremely versatile, and you can feel free to take full liberties in adding different ingredients. This dish is delicious with chunks of avocado, vegan sour cream and vegan cheese piled on top of it.

  We love potatoes because they are the ultimate filling vegan, gluten-free food. Potatoes are also very versatile, so you virtually can't go wrong with whatever you do with a potato. Twice baked potatoes are so yummy and you can put just about anything you like in the filling. We like vegan chili, black beans, salsa, you name it! This recipe is absolutely scrumptious because it pairs creamy vegan sour cream with gooey vegan cheese.

  The Shopper’s Guide to Pesticide: Which Produce has the Least Pesticide, and Which has the Most

  It seems like every time we turn around these days we are hearing another reason why our produce is compromised. From pesticides to genetically modified organisms (GMO), it seems that very little food is safe these days. Well thanks to the handy "Shopper's Guide to Pesticides", created by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), shoppers can now view a full line-up of which produce is the safest to eat, and which they need to make sure they are buying in organic form only.

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

  We don’t know if there is some sort of cauliflower council that has been brainstorming new ways to promote cauliflower, but it seems to be popping up a lot lately! Low-carb dieters are going crazy for it because it is lower in carbohydrates than potatoes, but we love it simply because is is delicious and nutritious! Cauliflower is chock full of vitamin C, manganese, beta-carotene, vitamin K, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6 and B9. For those of you keeping track, that means that cauliflower has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and is great for digestion.

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Hickory Smoked Tomato Soup with “Cheese”

  This weekend was particularly dreary around these parts and, though it is technically summer, it was perfect soup weather! One of the things we do miss about our non-vegan days is onion soup! We loved the traditional kind of onion soup, with the cheese bubbling over the rim. Well we decided to do a little vegan and gluten-free spin on this yummy soup! We had some tomato soup on hand and thought a smokey tomato soup with cheese melted on top sounded perfect.

  Vegan Vanilla Cream and Vegan Almond Cream

  This is our own recipe, but we have to give credit where credit is due: this is a riff on the Native Food Cafe vegan vanilla creme. This vegan almond cream is delicious over pie, over cake, or on its own as a custard dessert. To make vanilla cream, simply omit the almond extract, but trust us, this is most delicious - very delicious! - as vegan almond cream.

  Easy Steamed Sesame Kale

  We love kale, but even though the prep for fresh kale is easy, it can be a bit tedious. That's why we were so excited to find this pre-prepped organic kale from Harvest Sensations. We found this in the produce section of Whole Foods. Making this delicious, nutritious steamed sesame kale is crazy-easy - and yummy!

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Hungarian Cherry Soup

  We have been on a kick buying cookbooks from around the world. While cooking cuisines from different cultures is fun, adapting them to be vegan and gluten free is even more fun. It is a great challenge to find the vegan, gluten-free equivalents of some of the ingredients, and we love all of the different recipes that combine ingredients we would have never considered.

  Vegan, Gluten-Free Aged Feta

  We recently brought you a fantastic recipe for vegan, gluten-free feta, which is quick and easy to make! Well we’ve been playing around in the kitchen and took it one step further by slightly aging and pressing the tofu. While the quicker feta will always be our go-to in a pinch, this aged feta is so worth the wait and work! The key to making this feta is to press it for at least 5 days, wrapped in clean towels (we used paper towels, but you can certainly use a lint-free, clean kitchen towel), and changing out those towels daily.

  National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 30: Vegan, Gluten-Free Salad with Edamame and Arugula

  Yesterday we brought you a delicious salad dressing recipe for National Celiac Awareness Month, so today we will give you a salad recipe to go with it! This recipe is adapted from Salads for Every Season: 25 Salads from Earthbound Farm and originally called for a grain called farro, in place of wild rice. Farro is a grain about which there is much debate. The confusion seems to lay within the fact that it means something different depending on which country you are in. Spelt, wheatberries and barley are just a few of the grains referred to as farro.

  National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 29: Vegan, Gluten-Free Creamy White Balsamic Vinegarette Dressing

  We want to show some love to the vinaigrette for National Celiac Awarness Day because we love a good vinaigrette and, sadly, not all are gluten-free. Some balsamic vinegars contain caramel coloring and some caramel coloring contains gluten. In general, the more pricey balsamic vinegars are true vinegars, and won’t contain coloring. It is important to check the label to make sure that it is strictly vinegar.

  National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 28: Vegan, Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies

  We couldn’t let National Celiac Awareness Month go buy without some chewy chocolatey baked goods! This sumptuous recipe, adapted from the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam, offers a heap of cocoa powder, offset with sweet agave nectar. The recipe book offers a vast array of delicious, gluten-free recipes, but it is not a vegan cookbook so, like many cookbooks, we have to adapt.

  National Celiac Awareness Month, Day 26: Vegan, Gluten-Free Wild Rice Salad

  We thought we’d bring you a recipe for National Celiac Awareness month that contains maple syrup because it can be a wonderful alternative for vegans who prefer to not use honey. We recently were gifted a half-gallon of fresh Vermont maple syrup and have been going a bit crazy with recipes containing this sumptuous sap; any excuse to eat it! 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.

Well those allergies have hit us particularly hard and we have been walking around in an allergy-induced haze; fogginess, coughing, wheezing. It is the season for general discomfort! In scourin
