Toasted pumpkin seeds are a tasty and healthy snack. Great to mix things up and satisfy that need for savory crunching. Not only that, but putting the seeds to use when cooking with squash reduces food waste!
Category: Gluten-Free
Recipes in this category require only gluten-free ingredients (on occasion, optional ingredients may not be gluten-free, but can be omitted).
It is important to understand that certain ingredients may be more or less prone to cross contamination during processing and it is ultimately up to you to ensure all ingredients you use are certified gluten free, if that is a concern for you. For example, oats frequently contain gluten, but they are not glutenous themselves and gluten free oats are available on the market.
Lemon Square Granola
Taking its flavor inspiration from the classic dessert, this recipe incorporates fresh lemon zest, coconut and buttery pistachios into a chunky, bright granola that, despite its namesake, isn’t overly sweet. It makes for a particularly gorgeous breakfast with fresh blueberries and yogurt.
Salad Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn)
Hailing from Vietnamese cuisine, salad rolls can include a variety of fillings and make for a delicious and healthy appetizer or light meal. This recipe is more a of a guide–the exact amounts aren’t important, and you can try different filling combinations of your own. I’ve included the core ingredients and a suggested set of additional flavors to get you started, along with a recipe for peanut dipping sauce. If I’m being honest, I love peanut sauce so much that the rolls themselves are more of a vehicle…
Vegan “Chicken” Soup
Sometimes there’s just nothing like chicken soup, especially when it’s chilly outside or you’re coming down with a cold. Warm, mellow broth and classic ingredients combine for a dose of liquid comfort. This recipe’s got everything but the chicken and is a breeze to make!
100% Fruit Compote
Compote–a dish of stewed fruit–is great with things like yogurt, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, etc. This exceedingly easy recipe eschews the usual sugar syrup instead using raisins for an added bit of sweetness.
Cupboard Curry
There are many, many kinds of curry. This one is very simple and makes a great weeknight dinner. You need a few core ingredients, and the rest can be decided based on what you have in your cupboard. I am especially fond of using root vegetables, peas, leafy greens, and cauliflower.
Guacamole
Guacamole dates back to the Aztec Empire, and to this day it continues to make the world a better place. It’s a part of Mexican cuisine and has become part of American cuisine as well. Delicious served with Mexican dishes, or simply eaten on tortilla chips in mass quantities, it’s healthy and super easy to make. You can use this recipe as is, or use it as a base and choose your own add-ins.
