Hey friends!! Today I have one of my “staple” recipes. Banana muffins are a must and often in our house. I’ve always made them gluten free, but a few months ago I finally worked out a recipe that was both gluten free and vegan. They just taste like really good banana muffins. They’re light, and fluffy, and moist, and very tasty. And that’s good, because we eat them alot. One, because it’s an easy snack to grab; and two, because we keep our house pretty warm and bananas go brown very quickly. This is a small batch. Depending on how much batter you scoop into the muffin tins, you’ll get…

Easy Chickpea Nachos for One – Gluten Free and Vegan
When my twins were little, I pretty much lived on nachos. They were fast, easy, and they felt more like “real food” than the random pieces of toast or handfuls of other things I could quickly grab while chasing babies. Twenty two years later, I still love nachos. I have more time now, so I make better food choices (mostly), but when I treat myself, I want it to feel like a treat. These nachos are naturally gluten free, and switching out the cheese for a non dairy cheese shred like Daiya cheese makes them vegan. I also add chickpeas because, in addition to a protein boost, they honestly add…

Hearty Potato and Carrot Stew – vegan, gluten free
This is a recipe for an easy gluten free, vegan stew. No joke, this post took hours to write (and rewrite and write again). How can you really communicate how awesome stew can be if you leave out the meat? Like, how do you convince someone that all they have to do is boil a few vegetables in some seasoned broth, and they’ll have an amazing family meal? It feels like a trick question on an exam. Can anything in life really be that simple? Take the meat out of stew and you’ve slashed both the cost and the amount of work. No cutting or browning meat, no simmering for…

Gluten Free, Vegan Pico de Gallo
About a mile down our road is a garage that once a year turns into the most amazing vegetable stand I’ve ever seen. Mr. Homer is famous for his tomatoes. He also sells squash and cucumbers and a few other things, but people go there for the tomatoes. In his garage are long tables with hundreds of tomatoes. He sells the beautiful ones for $2/lb, and the “canning” tomatoes for $1/lb. The canning tomatoes are also beautiful, just maybe less so, and they are perfect for cutting up into homemade pico de gallo. Pico de gallo, or fresh salsa, is the perfect summer side/garnish. We eat it with chips, or…
