The Happy Gluten Free Vegan

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.

You will not believe how easy it is to make your own homemade tofu, and once you do you will never go back to store bought tofu! There are so many advantages to making your own tofu at home, not the least of which is that fresh, homemade tofu tastes…

You’ve undoubtedly had the disheartening experience of going to a potluck and encountering a slew of dairy-based dips and spreads. This can be frustrating if you’re doing your best to follow a vegan, gluten-free diet. Don’t despair! Here is a delicious, creamy spread you can make from tofu that tastes just as good as the dairy-based variety! Even your non-vegan friends will love it. They may even beg you for the recipe. The spread is healthy, since it utilizes basil and Italian parsley, herbs that are rich in vitamin C. The tofu adds protein and calcium. Much healthier than your average spread, and so easy to make!

It’s May already, which means the official beginning of barbeque season! Some of you might be catching whiffs of your neighbor’s meat-based cuisine and wondering what on earth you can cook that didn’t come from an animal. Fear not, because we’ve got you covered with these delightful tofu/melon/pepper skewers! The marinade is light but zesty, due to the inclusion of red pepper flakes, and the heat from your grill will impart a subtle crispiness to the tofu.

If you want a delicious, vegan and gluten-free alternative to traditional barbeque fare, try these bbq tofu/chickpea sandwiches! And they’re easy to make!

This gluten-free, vegan lemon cheesecake is more dense than the traditional version, but still sweet and delicious. The walnut/maple syrup crust adds a nutty, delightful flavor.
