  • Canning Corn Chowder Base

    Canning Corn Chowder Base

    Corn chowder is a great hearty vegan soup option, and since the USDA home canning guidelines allow for a DIY soup recipe (section 4-18), I’ve developed a corn chowder base that can be canned, and then turned into a creamy chowder with cashews once the jar is opened for a quick, easy meal.

  • GF Vegan Burger Buns

    GF Vegan Burger Buns

    I’ve been experimenting with a gluten-free and vegan burger bun that rises well and stays nice and soft, and finally have a good recipe that turns out well every time. These work well as burger or sandwich buns, but they also make a great toast that I like topping with some vegan butter and tofu…

  • BBQ Chickpea Pizza

    BBQ Chickpea Pizza

    This easy BBQ chickpea pizza comes together fairly quickly, and is a great way to use some of my home-canned pantry staples: canned chickpeas and caramelized red onion relish. The gluten-free crust has a good texture and doesn’t need to rise before baking, so I like that I can pull together this pizza whenever the…

  • Rice Paper Dumplings with Tofu and Veggies

    Rice Paper Dumplings with Tofu and Veggies

    Rice paper is the gluten-free star of these dumplings, providing an easy alternative to pre-made wonton or egg-roll wrappers.

  • Vegan Potato Soup Mix

    Vegan Potato Soup Mix

    This soup mix is easy to throw together, and makes for a quick convenience meal or snack to keep on the pantry shelf. I’ve included a bunch of herbs and spices that I keep in my pantry to give it a nice flavor, but feel free to customize the list to your taste. Featured in…

  • The Best Vegan Tacos

    The Best Vegan Tacos

    Tacos make a great, easy dinner, and this is my favorite way to make a “meaty” vegan taco filling. The combination of TVP and lentils gives some great texture to the filling, and the quesadilla shells and cashew cream make these feel decadent!

  • Sweet and Sour Soy Curls

    Sweet and Sour Soy Curls

    This is a favorite dinner in my house, so I like to keep the ingredients on hand. I like the texture of soy curls in this dish better than versions I’ve tried with tofu or chickpeas, and the sauce is perfectly sweet and tangy. Best of all, it comes together in just about 30 minutes.…
