Vegetarian Recipes and Eclectic Conversation
(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE There is no shortage of recipes on the Interwebs and the TwitterToks for the “perfect” gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Some are vegan, some have milk powder, some are starch heavy, some are grain heavy, some add in binders such as xanthan gum, all have their own distinct personality. Here is... Continue Reading →
(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE This gluten-free vegan quick bread recipe is reminiscent of a campfire; essences of bourbon and smoke are balanced by cinnamon and ginger. The loaf can be sliced and served with coffee for a morning breakfast, or it can be served with a shot of whiskey or brandy as a late-night... Continue Reading →
(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE Carob has always had a special place in my heart. Through most of my childhood, my allergy to chocolate removed all forms of chocolate from my diet. My mother, a strong advocate of the natural foods co-op movement and an experimentalist in her own right, introduced me to carob as... Continue Reading →
(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE As a follow-up to my previous recipe for Sage Tofu Sausage Links, I present my recipe for vegan, gluten-free, oat-free salami.

(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE I admit that I am on a bit of a brownie and blondie tear these days, but the basic recipe for vegan, gluten-free brownie bites has brought out the experimental scientist in me.

(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE This chocolatey and chewy vegan and gluten-free brownie recipe uses dates and peanut butter to provide fat, fiber, and structure to the brownie bites. Pureeing the dates makes them nearly impossible to detect, but the time tested flavor of chocolate peanut butter comes shining through. The brownie bites boast 1.3... Continue Reading →
(vegan, gluten-free) JUMP TO RECIPE I’m a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants, and by extension, I’m a big fan of Stephen Hillenburg o.b.m. Hillenburg not only created the fifth longest running animated series in history, but he was also a marine biologist, philanthropist, and educator. Sadly, Hillenburg died in 2018 at age 57 of Amyotrophic... Continue Reading →
(Vegan, Gluten-Free) JUMP TO RECIPE Tahini and black sesame seed impart a mild sesame flavor to this bread, giving it an exotic, yet hearty and comforting flavor.
