Cauli-Shroom Sausage Patties
(vegan, gluten-free) I am a fan of Javant Benton’s YouTube site “Healthy Vegan Cooking,” partly because I aspire to maybe one day developing his physique before I leave this mortal coil, but mostly because I admire his wizardry with vegan cooking. His recipe for vegan ground meat, made with cauliflower, mushrooms, nuts, and spices, has…
Carrot Veggie Burgers
(vegan, gluten-free) My wife prefers carrots cooked. My sons and I prefer carrots raw. Creating carrot veggie burgers seemed to please all of us, especially when we put the patties on homemade gluten-free buns and covered them with lettuce, tomato, onion, and barbecue sauce. It’s all about compromise. These patties are delicious, and they have…
Pizza Crust #2 (New & Improved)
(vegan, gluten-free) I’ve been mucking about with my gluten-free pizza crust recipe for a couple years now, trying to improve its flavor, rise, and overall breadiness, while still maintaining a good crust structure that holds up after a couple days in the refrigerator. Also, I wanted to make it vegan, just in case I came…
Dirt Burgers
(vegan, gluten-free) These burgers are much lower in protein than Beyond Burgers, but they have about ¾ the calories, ⅔ the fat, and 1½ the fiber. In other words, these are more a delicious vehicle for sneaking veggies into your family diet, and less about making sure they hit a specific protein target.
Vegan Blood Sausage
(vegan, gluten free) First and foremost, let’s get something straight. No, this is not a sausage made from the blood of vegans. Nor is it a dead-on vegan redux of a carnivore delicacy. This recipe is a deep red sausage made from vegetables, nuts, binders, and spices. The sausages are lower in protein but higher…
Tofu Salami
(vegan, gluten-free) As a follow-up to my previous recipe for Sage Tofu Sausage Links, I present my recipe for vegan, gluten-free, oat-free salami. Unlike my previous recipe, I use flattened rice or poha instead of the cooked brown rice, which works much better as an oat substitute, both for its dehydrating potential and its overall…
Hillenburger
(vegan, gluten-free) 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 Lateral Sclerosis. One…
Three Sisters Chili
(vegan, gluten-free) “Help!” you say. “I need to bring vegetarian chili to the chili cookout, and I need a recipe that is simple, delicious, and just different enough to spark culinary conversation,” you say. “Have no fear,” I respond. “I’ve got you covered.” The Three Sisters (corn, beans, and squash) are the three main agricultural…
Italian Tofu Sausage Links
(Vegan, Gluten-Free) As a follow-up to my previous recipe for Sage Tofu Sausage Links, I present my recipe for vegan, gluten-free, oat-free Italian sausage based on the original Sauce Stache video. Since Mark Thompson didn’t give actual measurements for the ingredient, I made my own semi-scientific best guesses, adjustments, and additions. It works out pretty…
Sage Tofu Sausage Links
(Vegan, Gluten-Free) Leave it to vegan food wizard Mark Thompson and his Sauce Stache YouTube channel to come up with this clever protein base for vegan gluten-free sausages. The crumbled baked tofu, combined with the methylcellulose and bean flour, create exactly the type of gluten-free vegan sausage that I have been trying to create for…
