The Happy Gluten Free Vegan

You might have some dates lying around, unused in your cupboard. We had quite a few, so we figured out what we needed to do — make oatmeal/date squares!

We still had a bunch of hazelnuts left over from the holidays, so we decided to put them to good use. There’s nothing quite like the aroma and flavor of hazelnuts — slightly exotic, nutty but sweet, and so delicious!

These are not your mother’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! (sorry, Mom). Our vegan, gluten-free treat is scrumptious, sweet, and nourishing, without the use of butter or other animal products.

Has this ever happened to you? You check your cupboards for pancake mix, only to discover that you’ve run out. You’re still in your pajamas, so you don’t want to go to the store. There’s no reason to despair, however, because you can easily make your own vegan, gluten-free pancakes with surprisingly few ingredients. No need for store-bought mix!

This winter has been an especially long one, and we find ourselves longing for sweet treats that won’t make us feel too guilty. Nothing is more satisfying on a cold winter’s day than a piping hot bowl of apple crisp. If you’re following a vegan, gluten-free diet, you might wonder how you can enjoy this succulent treat without butter and dairy-based ice cream. Have no fear, the dessert can be made to your specific dietary needs. We think it tastes even better than the milk-infused version.

You’re going to love these vegan, gluten-free sweet potato/black bean burgers! Rich and hearty, with a subtle spiciness, these patties really satisfy.

I have had the recipe for no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies made on the stovetop for more than 40 years. Now I have turned these wonderful (and fast and easy) treats into gluten-free and vegan no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies!
