The Happy Gluten Free Vegan

We recently made this artichoke/spinach dip for New Year’s Eve, and it was a hit! The dip features a robust but subtle flavor and protein galore (due to its cashew base and the addition of nutritional yeast).

A relative gave us a gift of holiday pears, and we immediately knew what we had to do with them — make vegan, gluten-free pear crisp!

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble into a recipe that is so easy to make, and so yummy and nutritious at the same time. Our tempeh/walnut tacos only take a few minutes to whip together, but they taste divine!

Vegan, gluten-free holiday feasts take a lot of creativity. Instead of roasting a turkey and mashing some potatoes, you have to plan an entire plant-based menu.

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.

We were in the habit of buying tubes of polenta (organic only, of course, otherwise it is almost certainly GMO), and until recently, didn’t realize how easy it is to make this delicious, protein-rich food at home, no tube needed!

These easy vegan, gluten-free crackers are also lectin-free and they are delicious! In fact, they taste a bit like copycat wheat thins!

One thing you might miss if you’re following a vegan, gluten-free diet is the robust flavor of pulled pork. Still, you don’t want any pigs to suffer for your appetite.

If you need a vegan and gluten-free barbecue sauce recipe right now, without having to cook it, this is the bbq sauce recipe for you!

You’re going to love these muffins! They’re perfect for October, or for any time, really. You know it’s not really fall unless you eat something that has pumpkin in it!

These cookies are so rich and delicious, yet are made with only five ingredients! You probably remember pecan sandies from your childhood — sweet and nutty, such a perfect treat to hit that sweet spot.

If you want to give a bit of pizzazz to an ordinary can of black beans, this recipe will only take you a couple of minutes and will utilize a few simple ingredients.

Sometimes you want to add a little extra pizzazz to your vegetables. Sure, they’re great steamed, baked, or sautéed. But, if you want an extra layer of goodness, you really need to try our vegan, gluten-free almond/garlic topping.

Sometimes you want to whip up something sweet, but you don’t want to make a big production out of it. You desire quick satisfaction without spending the entire day baking.

You’re going to be amazed by this vegan, gluten-free peanut butter chocolate pie recipe. Our mouth-watering dessert takes three hours to make, but most of the time, the pie is just chilling in the freezer.

If you need to whip up a quick vegan, high-protein sandwich, you’ll be delighted by our black bean burger recipe! These patties are super easy and inexpensive to make and will fill you up for hours.

Sometimes you’re away from home, and you need a quick, protein-packed pick-me-up. Something nourishing, maybe a bit sweet. Don’t reach for a candy or granola bar — they’re often packed with white sugar, and too often contain dairy or even gluten.

Sometimes you need to whip together a tasty, high-protein meal, but you have limited time and/or ingredients. Fortunately, we’ve discovered a recipe to solve that dilemma.

There are still a few hot days left this summer until September brings the autumnal breezes. We often find ourselves with a surplus of tomatoes, and when this situation arises, we know exactly what to do –make gazpacho!

We admit that we’ve been on a bit of a roll with bananas lately. They’re so sweet, and such a great treat for hot summer days (and nights!)
