Gluten Free Vegan Living

I am a big noodle lover  even after I changed my diet to Gluten Free noodles.  I find that there are some many good Gluten Free noodles available — each with their own wonderful distinct taste.  So of course, I was excited to find this Gluten Free Sesame Noodle recipe on Chef Amber Shea’s blog.

Almond Butter Sesame Noodles

In the picture above, Chef Amber has served the Sesame noodles over soba noodles, but  any spaghetti style noodles would work (check out the list of substitutions — including veggie noodles — on her original post).  And since I cannot eat almonds, I would use Peanut butter rather than almond butter — making sure my peanut butter did not include extra ingredients like sugar!!

Check out Chef Amber’s original recipe for more substitutions to this nutritious and versatile dish!

Quiche was off limits when I found out I was intolerant to eggs, but Vegan Quiche (Gluten Free too!) is a healthier option.  Using sprouted tofu rather than eggs makes this dish even more nutritious.  I especially like broccoli in my Vegan Quiche.  Personally, I think I would add organic mushrooms to the recipe too!  I love mushrooms!!

This multi-step Vegan Pasta with Special ‘Cream’ Sauce sounds almost too good to be true.  Contains gluten free pasta, broccoli with dorito style bread crumb topping.  If you love and miss the taste of Doritos, this may be the ticket for you.  The same great taste without all the chemicals!  And the crumb recipe can be used on other dishes!

No store bought Doritos were used in this recipe. Just some spices and flavors together and voila! And why did I make this? Well, the big food corps, apart from putting in humongous amounts of money into creating shelf stable products with weird amounts of chemicals, they Also put the money into finding tastes and combinations that tickle your tastebuds, make you addicted to things and keep you coming back to the product!
