This vegan substitute tastes exactly like the “real thing” but without all kinds of common allergens. Two members of my family have ginger allergies, so I just substituted the ginger for a little ground clove instead. Continue reading Meatless Monday – Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Meatless Monday – Potato Pancakes
Nothing says comfort food quite like what you grew up eating. My mom used to make potato pancakes for us all the time growing up, and we’d love to top them with cottage cheese, HP or BBQ sauce, syrup, you name it! If you’re looking for a truly savory spin on the traditional pancake then keep reading! Continue reading Meatless Monday – Potato Pancakes
Meatless Monday – Gluten Free, Vegan Overnight Oats
I have heard of this wonderful thing called “overnight oatmeal” but I hadn’t tried it until just a little while ago. Now I’m hooked! I prefer to make it with buckwheat groats because I’m not really into the texture of oatmeal on it’s own, but you can substitute oats if you prefer.

Meatless Monday – Cashew Cheese
I have found variations of this recipe in countless cookbooks and all over the web. I never would have given it a try, though, if my mom hadn’t bought me some Agar Agar when she went on a trip. Thanks, mom!

Meatless Monday – Salt & Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas
I had deep fried chickpeas at a restaurant a few months back, and this recipe absolutely recreates the amazing flavour but without the deep fryer. Thanks again to the Oh She Glows cookbook by Angela Liddon.

Meatless Mondays – Green Energy Smoothie
I haven’t ever thrown up a green smoothie for my Meatless Monday posts! Silly me! The following recipe is taken from “The Juicing Bible” by Pat Crocker and Susan Eagles. If you’re looking for a juicing book, I’d absolutely recommend this one. The variety in here is fantastic!
Meatless Monday – A Delicious Twist on the Traditional Potato Salad
The best word to describe this salad is ‘refreshing’. The lemon and dill in the avocado dressing complement the crispy roasted potatoes perfectly. You can boil the potatoes like a traditional potato salad, but I promise that roasting them will be worth it!

Meatless Mondays – Wild Rice Yam Pancakes
The first time I tried to make this recipe I was new to vegan cooking so I tried to use whole flaxseeds instead of ground flaxseed. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. But after trying it again with the proper ingredients these are a savoury, protein rich pancake breakfast for the busy day ahead.

Meatless Mondays – Quinoa Molasses Bread
I’ve been experimenting recently with molasses in cooking and baking because of the high iron and calcium content. This savoury, flavourful bread is delicious with soups and even just with a small bit of vegan margarine on a warmed slice for breakfast. The recipe is from Donna Washburn and Heather Butt’s cookbook, Great Gluten Free Whole Grain Bread Machine Recipes. I’ve altered it slightly to have it as a regular recipe, for those of you without a breadmachine.
