Our title says it all — this vegan, gluten-free southwest bean salad is bursting with both flavor and protein! It contains garbanzos, black beans, and corn, so you’ll be getting a real protein boost.

Why buy salsa at a store when you can make your own at home? We recently got our hands on a bunch of fresh tomatillos, and became excited by the prospect of transforming them into salsa.

This incredible vegan bean dish is as delicious as it is nutritious, with just a little heat. And it’s really easy to make!

Autumn is well underway, and our desire to devour pasta dishes continues in earnest. Pasta puttanesca is a traditional Italian dish that tastes great, even without the addition of anchovies. It’s hearty, filling, delicious, and so easy to make. Though most pasta puttanesca recipes utilize thin spaghetti noodles, we had some dried, gluten-free fettucine noodles in our kitchen and decided to use those instead. We were delighted by the results. You don’t need many ingredients to make this wonderful meal. It’s super inexpensive! In fact, you probably have most of the ingredients in your cabinet or refrigerator already.

You’ll love this cold but nourishing dish. The addition of corn gives sweetness to this protein-rich meal. It’s easy to make and oh-so-tasty!

Cold soup is manna to your throat on a hot summer day. When the outdoor temperatures soar, appetites often plummet. However, you don’t want sunshine to cause you to sacrifice good eating or proper nutrition! This vegan, gluten-free recipe is incredibly easy to make (and inexpensive!), and you won’t have to spend hours slaving over a hot stove. The addition of strawberries to the traditional gazpacho recipe makes the dish sweet and extra-zesty. You can top the soup with gluten-free croutons if you’d like to get fancy.

We thought we’d bring a touch of elegance to National Celiac Awareness Day with this lovely risotto dish, adapted from one of our favorite cookbooks, Fields of Greens. This recipe combines some of the best fresh summer produce, such as green beans, tomatoes and delicious basil. We are topping off this recipe with a dash of saffron to bring an extraordinary flavor and color to the risotto.
