The Best Easy Vegan Cheese Recipe
Want to know how to make a vegan cheese? We believe that this easy vegan cheese recipe is truly the best vegan cheese recipe out there and trust us, we’ve made plenty (see our recipe for vegan cheese sauce, and the best vegan dairy free ricotta, and here’s how to make vegan cheese for pizza). Each of these recipes are amazing, but for a good all-around, customizable, sliceable, spreadable, meltable vegan cheese recipe, you can’t beat our Best Easy Vegan Cheese Recipe.
Copycat Primal Kitchen Vegan Buffalo Sauce Recipe
We loved the original Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce, and our copycat Primal Kitchen vegan buffalo sauce (“vegan wing sauce” for short) looks and tastes just like the original! (Which they call their “No-Dairy Buffalo sauce”.) Why do we say “the original” Primal Kitchen sauce? If you think that your last bottle of Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce didn’t taste quite the same, there’s a reason for that, which we explain below. But our copycat Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce follows the original recipe with which you first fell in love. Not only that, but because you’re making it yourself at home, you can make it less spicy, or even hotter and more spicy if you like! Serve this with our 1 Ingredient, 3 Step Vegan Wings for a real treat!
Super Easy Copycat Chunky Bar Recipe – Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Just Plain Better!
Our copycat dark chocolate Chunky bars are super-easy to make, they are vegan, they are gluten-free, and honestly they are just plain better (and better for you) then actual Chunky bars (especially since Nestle took them over, and reduced the quality of the ingredients, and raised the price). Plus, you can get all of the ingredients at Costco (but of course you don’t have to), and organic (ditto)!
Super Easy Vegan Cream of Tomato Soup
Being gluten-free and vegan doesn’t mean that you have to forego that ultimate of comfort foods: the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup! Now you can easily have a gluten-free vegan grilled cheese sandwich and our gluten-free vegan cream of tomato soup! We call this a vegan Costco recipe because we get the ingredients from Costco, and we call this a quarantine recipe because the ingredients are all shelf-stable.
Easy Inside-Out Vegan Shepherd’s Pie or Cottage Pie (It’s Also Gluten-Free!)
Want to make a gluten-free vegan shepherd’s pie but don’t have any leftover mashed potatoes, and don’t want to go through the trouble of making mashed potatoes just for shepherd’s pie? (After all, isn’t the whole purpose of shepherd pie to use up leftovers, or at least to be able to easily throw something together without having to, you know, cut, boil, and mash potatoes?) Well our “inside-out” vegan shepherd’s pie is just what you need, and it’s naturally gluten-free too!
How to Check if an Item is Available at Your Local Costco Store
If you are trying to figure out how to find out if your Costco has something in stock, we’re here to tell you! It would be nice if you could check Costco inventory online, like with an in-store items search, and while you can’t do that, exactly, there are ways to find out if your Costco has something that you want before you make a trip or place a delivery order.
Easy Amazing Vegan Sous Vide Meatballs with Mushrooms (a Vegan Costco Recipe)
This sous vide vegan meatballs and mushrooms recipe is so incredibly easy that it may be the thing that pushes you to get a sous vide device!
Super-Easy Super-Yummy Chestnut Apple Onion Soup
Over the Christmas holiday at Chez Chef, we found ourself with pre-shelled, pre-cooked chestnuts, a half an onion, and an apple. We kept looking at these three things and thinking “Hrrmm, those really seem to want to go together.” So we let them be together, in what turned out to be an incredible, and extremely easy, pureed soup! This delicious soup has only a few ingredients, the alchemy is in how they blend together.
Instant Pot Gluten-Free Vegan Pasta Cooked Right in the Sauce!
So many people have asked “Can you cook pasta right in the sauce in the Instant Pot?” and the answer is yes! You can cook the sauce and pasta together at the same time in an Instant Pot! Here’s how! We call this a Costco recipe because we use one or more ingredients from Costco, but of course you don’t have to.
Gluten-Free Vegan Cinnamon Cake Donuts Recipe
Want an easy, delicious, gluten-free vegan doughnut recipe? One that doesn’t even resort to flax eggs or the like? Whether you call them donuts or doughnuts, our gluten-free vegan cinnamon doughnut recipe is going to become your new best friend! This is also a vegan Costco recipe because it features ingredients from Costco (although of course you don’t have to get yours from Costco!)
Super-Easy Golden Turmeric MCT Protein Cups (a/k/a Golden Fat Bombs)
Golden Turmeric Cups (nicknamed Golden Cups or even Golden Fat Bombs) are super-easy to make, super delicious, and super good for you! And of course they are gluten-free and vegan. Full of healthy fats, and with the MCTs from coconut oil, and protein from nut butter and protein powder, they are a great ‘pick-me-up’ snack, and perfect for quick-quenching a bit of hunger! We get all of the main ingredients (all three of them :~)) at Costco, but you can of course get them elsewhere as well.
Easy Vegan Sweet Chestnut Cream Recipe and Vegan Mont Blanc Directions
Chestnut cream seems like such an exotic thing, but it is actually so easy to make, especially when you start with the pre-peeled chestnuts available at Costco and other places. And while sweet chestnut cream is typically made using a simple sugar syrup, ours is sweetened with dates, and so even easier to make! There are lots of things that you can do and make with chestnut cream, but one of the classics is a Mont Blanc dessert, which is, traditionally, sweet chestnut cream piled onto a meringue base, and topped with whipped cream (doesn’t that sound yummy?) Following our recipe and directions you can make the entire thing vegan, including with vegan meringue!
Ethiopian-Style White Beans with Tomatoes and Coconut Milk
This incredible vegan bean dish is as delicious as it is nutritious, with just a little heat. And it’s really easy to make!
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!
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.
Easy and Delicious Baked Vegan Pumpkin Custard
Our baked pumpkin custard is super easy to make, has an incredible silky texture, and of course is both gluten-free and vegan! You can serve it plain, or dress it up with vegan whipped topping or vanilla ice cream; sometimes we even top it with some of our Super-Easy, Super-Awesome Homemade Fresh Cranberry Sauce, it’s super yummy!
Our Easy Veggie Burger Recipe: Baked Vegan Lentil Walnut Burgers!
Our gluten-free, vegan lentil walnut burgers are easy to make, and baked in the oven! (Of course you can also fry them if you prefer.) Plus they are made from all shelf-stable ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry, so that you can whip them up whenever you want. And they hold together beautifully, so you can have no fear that they will crumble when you bite into them. Serve them on a bun, or a bed of greens (as we did here), or any way that you like!
Glop! Our Super-Easy 2-Ingredient Vegan Protein Snack!
If you’re watching your protein intake, trying to keep it above a certain amount, here’s a really handy and surprisingly tasty way to get a quick 20grams of protein. If you’re a Costco member, all the better (although not required)! Plus, only 2 ingredients!
Easy 2-Ingredient Vegan Tomato Cream Sauce for Pasta (with Vodka Variation)
You are not going to believe how easy, delicious, and fast our 2-ingredient vegan tomato cream sauce recipe is! Of course, we use this vegan tomato cream sauce for pasta (we love it with the Costco Banza chickpea pasta) but you can use it for whatever you’d like. Smother a vegan meatloaf in it, make it the basis for an extra special, creamy vegan lasagna, or even use it as a soup base! Want to make a vegan version of the famous vodka tomato sauce? No problem, just change this to a 3-ingredient tomato cream sauce by adding some vodka (we include instructions for that as well). To quote a certain popular 70s and 80s band, “Any way you want it…”.
Our “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Chicken” Best Vegan Fried Chicken Recipe
Ready to have your mind blown? This incredible vegan fried chicken recipe is the best you have ever had, guaranteed! Not only is the flavor right, but the texture and the overall look and feel are right too! Also, we want to warn you that the ingredients and directions make this recipe look much more complicated than it really is. Once you have made this once, you’ll breeze through it the next time (and trust us, there will be a next time :~) ). And the ingredients are simple because it’s made from tofu (and nobody will ever know, unless you tell them)!
