Tempeh Reuben Taco Recipe (Version 1, Gluten Free)
There is an amazing vegan restaurant near NYU called Sacred Chow. We can credit them for introducing us to the concept of a gluten free “reuben.” Normally reubens are served on rye bread, but they offered it on a corn torilla. We were surprised at how delicious this was. This is a great restaurant to […]
Vegetarian Maque Choux Recipe (Cajun Corn and Okra recipe)
If you live in the Northeast, the window for okra is slim. Maybe a month, month and a half before it disappears. While it’s available at grocery stores, the taste of fresh is hard to beat. I wanted to make something that highlights the flavor of the okra minus the slime that so many folks […]
Reviews: Gratify Gluten Free Sea Salt Pretzels
Other than the excellent Glutino brand, I’ve never seen another GF pretzel before. These Gratify Gluten Free pretzels were picked up at MetFood for $2.99 on sale. The packaging is fantastic. The lovely blue makes you think velvet or at least something decadent. They taste nearly as crunchy as regular pretzels. Plus they’re mini which […]

Cargamanto Colombian Stew / Frijoles Antioquenos (Vegan Version)
Summer isn’t normally stew time here on the East Coast, but with a couple of days of temps in the 70s, we took advantage. Traditionally, this stew is served as part of bandeja paisa (Paisa is the Northwestern part of Colombia. Bandeja means platter). The rest of the platter varies from rice, ground meat, steak, […]
Lemon Garlic Butter Pasta (Vegan and GF Friendly)
This lemon garlic butter pasta is a variation of a common Italian pasta dish. If done right it strikes a great balance between creamy and tangy. Make it gluten free by using a GF pasta like De Boles, or Contes. Make it vegan by substituting non-dairy milk and smart balance instead of butter. Prep Time: […]
Accidental Chocolate Ice Cream / Pudding Recipe (Gluten Free)
It’s pudding time, children! (And accidental ice cream) I had no idea how easy pudding was until seeing this recipe via WednesdayChef via Smitten Kitchen. It’s only a half dozen ingredients and naturally gluten free. To make it vegan and dairy free just swap in vegan chocolate chips and non-dairy milk. The only changes I […]
Product Reviews: Chebe Cinnamon Sticky Buns
Gluten free sticky buns? What is this sorcery? This box from Chebe was picked up at Stop and Shop for $3.99 – not a bad price for GF but you do have to add in eggs, butter, milk, brown sugar and cinnamon. Well, at least it’s all stuff already at home for most folks. Whereas […]
