Vegan Cheesy Crackers from Veganize It!
After you’ve been vegan awhile, you may find that you have cravings for foods you used to eat. I found that I wasn’t actually craving meat or cheese, but just really wanted some nostalgia veganized that hit a similar flavor spot. You see it again and again in vegan recipes for bbq, “ribs”, vegan cheese, and vegan crab cakes.
Today’s recipe is a veganized Chez-it by Robin Robertson. A book that is chock full of make from scratch recipes that will quench and cravings you might have. You can ma...

Vegan Mango Lassi Popsicles
What’s more refreshing than a mango lassi? Vegan Mango Lassi Popsicles! The flavors keep to the traditional lassi with mango, and yogurt with a hint of sweetness, rosewater and cardamom.
You can use any vegan yogurt you’d like for this, but the tangier, the better. I used a plain soy yogurt, but you can also use an unsweetened plain yogurt if you want to control the kind of sweetener you use. Stevia, monkfruit, agave and even simple syrup made with vegan sugar would all work.
These are so s...

Vegan Air Fryer French Toast
This Vegan Air Fryer French Toast is from my new book, Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer, and is perfect for a weekend brunch or even a breakfast for dinner.
My recipe is coated with a nut oat mixture to make it extra crunchy and I think you’re going to love it!
You can use your favorite bread, then coat it in an oat nut mixture. Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free bread and oats that are clearly labeled gluten-free.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake this on a baking pan in a...

The word “easy” often makes me feel like I’m not doing enough. But there's a time to be reasonable and making dinner every night is a good place to start.</p> <a href="http://anunrefinedvegan.com/photograp...

Vegan Gluten-free Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is the time of year that zucchini can be too plentiful. I am using a CSA that I get to pick out what I want. But I have a default box that comes and this week it had lots of zucchini in addition to all the extra I already had in my fridge. My first use-up-the-zucchini mission are these Vegan Gluten-free Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies.
They are gluten-free from the oat flour and rolled oats – as long as you get bags that are clearly labeled gluten-free. Oats are gluten-free naturally bu...

Vegan Pad Thai Spring Rolls from Sweet, Savory & Free
I’ve been talking about how it’s too hot to cook and I have the perfect summer dinner recipe for you – Pad Thai Spring Rolls from Sweet Debbie’s Organic Cupcakes new cookbook, Sweet, Savory & Free.
You do need to boil the brown rice noodles and I suggest that you do that early in the morning or the night before to keep your kitchen cool. The roll wrappers just get dipped in warm water before you assemble it all, so you don’t need to do those ahead.
Debbie owns a vegan, allergy-free, gluten-f...

Unribs from The Homemade Vegan Pantry by Miyoko Schinner
I’m really excited to give you a sneak peek into Miyoko Schinner’s new book, The Homemade Vegan Pantry. We loved her Unrib recipe at our house! (Disclaimer: I organized the blog tour for The Homemade Vegan Pantry and received a complimentary copy of the book. However, I was not paid to write this post and all the opinions are truly my own.)
There are a few steps, so it’s a great weekend project. First you mix the seitan dough in your food processor. Second you cut and shape it into 4 long pi...

Iced Thai Tea Concentrate with Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
When I was in Austin, I had the most amazing vegan Thai Iced Tea Ice Cream, so I had to make some homemade Thai Iced Tea Concentrate once I got home. I even saved some to try and make my own Thai tea ice cream!
The concentrate isn’t hard to make and the ingredients aren’t as unusual as you might think. What it doesn’t have is artificial colors like the Thai tea mixes have. Instead, my concentrate uses beets to give it that red color. And you can make it in your slow cooker or on the stove to...
