‘Great Gluten Free Vegan Eats’–3 teaser recipes!

Today I am excited to share with you guys something very special to me… a sampling of the type of recipes as found in my first book, ‘Great Gluten Free Vegan Eats‘!

The layout (as seen below) is gorgeous (okay, maybe I’m biased, but I happen to be head over heels in love with it). The amazing folks at Fair Winds Press did a stellar job with the layout, editing, and all the other labor-intensive stuff that goes into making a cookbook look and read so wonderfully.

I seriously feel incredibly lucky to have landed my first cookbook deal with Fair Winds Press. I mean, they have put out some of my favorite books of all time like Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman, Color Me Vegan by Colleen Patrick Goudreau, and The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen by Carolyn Scott Hamilton, so I had no doubt in my mind that they would do wonders with my first book… and they exceeded my expectations.

Take a looksy and let me know what you think! Every single recipe in the book has an accompanying photograph, and the whole book is done in the hip–yet classy–design seen below. I’m so excited!

Just click on the photo (and it will appear in another window and can easily be enlarged) to get at the recipe without straining your peepers.

 

Brand New 100% Vegan & Gluten Free Site!

Hey everyone!

Remember how I briefly mentioned way back in the day that my pals Jessy, Kittee and I were working on a giant resource for vegans who are also gluten free?

It’s finally done! Hooray! We launched today, and I am oh so very excited. There’s even a community recipe hub… check it out!

Apple Butter Laced Stuffed Squash

Remember that cute little sweet dumpling squash from day one of VeganMoFo? Well, a few days ago I stuffed it, along with a few of its friends and roasted them up for dinner.

Not the most glamorous dish in the world, but it is filling and quite tasty.

Pumpkin Alfredo

Out of my crazy cat lady-like obsession with pumpkin (and, who am I kidding? all things orange) during the Autumn months, came this gem of a simple dinner. This pasta/pumpkin combo may not sound too appealing for some folks , but each and every person I served this stuff to absolutely loved it.

Pumpkin. Alfredo.

It is utterly delicious.

Apricot Nut Roll Cookies

Every single year, for as far back as I can remember, my mother makes a rugelach type cookie which she (and what I presume every member of her extended family) calls simply a “nut roll”. I haven’t had her rugelach in quite some time because it has all kinds of things in it that I just don’t do; but every year around this time, I start to crave it like nobody’s business.

So, starting in Autumn I begin to make a bunch of cookies of this “rugelach” type… pretty much all the way until January (when I start cursing winter and planning my move to the tropics). This version is not overly sweet and they are kinda big. You could share one… if you were really desperate to be a nice person. But this recipe makes quite a few cookies, so there’s no need to get all crazy…

Meet The Veggie Gal!

Since all I tend to do around here is post recipes and yammer on about myself… I thought it would be great to use this platform to introduce you guys to a fellow blogger: “The Veggie Gal”, Kim Newman.

Spiced Apple Galette

Autumn is officially on its way, and with it comes chills in the air, vibrant colors in the trees, great camping weather, the perfect excuse to overuse nutmeg in everything, and of course, plenty of apples. Because of these things (and Halloween!), Autumn is without a doubt the season I most look forward to. I like to pretend that Summer is my favorite (and I love to gripe about being cold)… but I cannot deny the excitement I feel when I notice the leaves begin to fall. I have already busted out my corduroys…

From Labor Day to Thanksgiving, I like to take advantage of the glorious bounty that Autumn brings. Brace yourself folks, I’m about to stretch this season out as long as I possibly can. Starting now.

Hope you all like apples, pumpkins, black cats, and mulling spices… because it may get a little ridiculous around here.

Let’s kick off this early tribute to Fall with a little gluten-free galette, shall we? Truly a great way to say “bye bye” to summer and “how do you do?” to Autumn-like comfort food.
