Whaaat?! Yeah, you read that right… this is a Vegan Turkey Roll, and it’s gluten free too! This is one of my absolute favorite recipes, and I’ve been making this Vegan Turkey Roll for my family, friends, students, and clients for over 20 years! Many people prefer this to store bought tofu or seitan ‘turkey’, as the texture is more pleasing (it’s not chewy or spongy). When I went gluten-free in 2012, I filled this with gluten free stuffing, and it’s still just as good (no one even noticed!) If you aren’t gluten free, you can stuff this with any vegan stuffing. So what is this? What we’re talking about here is well seasoned, firm tofu rolled around stuffing (gluten free if needed), baked till firm, sliced and served with gravy. This vegan turkey roll makes a beautiful centerpiece for a main course, and no one will miss the bird! You can also make this in advance and refrigerate or even freeze it and just warm it up when it’s time. It’s a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike, and it is the prefect main course for any holiday meal! Just in case you are looking for the Best Vegan Gravy Ever, I have you covered! Click here for the must have recipe for the Best Vegan Gravy Ever (with gluten free option), to serve with this Vegan Turkey Roll. It’s a match made in heaven!…
The Best Vegan Gravy Ever
Bold Claim, I know, but I promise, this gravy is definitely the Best Vegan Gravy Ever! It just happens to be gluten free too! It’s so delicious, no one will ever know or even care that it’s vegan and gluten free. It’s awesome on potatoes, on rice, and especially on my Vegan ‘Turkey’ Roll! (Get that recipe here.) This gravy is easy to make too, so let’s jump right into the ‘how to’!…
Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl
A few months ago, my family and I traveled up the coast to the tiny little beach town of Avila Beach, Ca. It’s an adorable little town, and I wrote a post about our trip here. While we were there, we visited a great little smoothie shop, and the bowls that we had there totally inspired me to make my own version! I have been making them almost every morning, in some variation, since we got back! I adore smoothies for breakfast and rarely eat anything other than that, so I was happy to add these delicious Acai Berry Smoothie Bowls to the repertoire! Bonus – my husband and kids love these too, so it’s easy to get everyone eating a lot of fruit for breakfast. There’s also plenty of protein in them, so you won’t feel hungry an hour later! Before we dive in, I just want to let you know that I am busy working away on some amazing vegan and gluten free Thanksgiving recipes, so make sure you stay connected by following me on social media or signing up for my email newsletter. You won’t want to miss what’s coming next!

The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Halloween Treats
Hi guys! I have a ‘monster’ post for you today, packed full of recipes, product and retailer links, and tips on how to have the best vegan Halloween ever! This is the Ultimate Guide to Vegan Halloween Treats! 
Navigating social gatherings and holidays as a vegan (or gluten free person) can be a challenge sometimes. Halloween is definitely one of those times, especially when you have kids! As a parent, you want your kids to enjoy all of the fun things about being a kid, and you also want them to be as carefree as possible. I’m a mom of two boys, who are 13 and 6, and both have been vegan since birth. I try to make it as easy as possible for them to feel included in social situations by bringing food to gatherings that is a vegan version of what everyone else is having. (Most kids parties have pizza and cake, so I bring a vegan pizza and some vegan cupcakes, and the kids are so busy being kids, no one ever cares that my kids are eating something different – they’re just busy being kids. It’s more of a Mom thing to be concerned about this!) If it’s a potluck situation it’s a great opportunity to bring something that is familiar to non-vegans. If you do a good job of it, most people will never even notice that it is vegan or gluten free, and because so many people are either vegan curious, or know someone who is vegan, you’ll find that most are very open to trying vegan or gluten free options. When it comes to Halloween candy, there are some candies that are ‘accidentally vegan’, not necessarily healthy, but don’t contain animal products. Thankfully, there are also some great candy options from companies that make all natural, vegan treats (with many gluten free options as well!). Here is a list of vegan Halloween treats that you can make or buy to make your Halloween fun for everyone! Items that are also gluten free are marked (GF). Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Chow Mein w/ Rainbow Veggies and Tofu
Chow Mein is one of the ultimate comfort foods, and one that I’ve sincerely missed since going gluten free! As a vegan it’s sometimes hard to find good Asian style food that doesn’t contain fish sauce, and if you are gluten free and vegan, it’s even harder because soy sauce has wheat in it. Well, now you can have this yummy comfort food again! This Gluten-Free Chow Mein w/ Rainbow Veggies and tofu is a healthier, veganized, gluten free version of your favorite take-out. With tons of veggies and yummy tofu, this dish goes from side to main!

Vegan Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting
It sounds to good to be true, I know, but here is the proof! Creamy, all natural, Vegan Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream does exist! Thanks to the amazing discovery of Aquafaba (literally “bean water”, from a can of beans), all kinds of wonderful things that used to require egg whites are now possible! This Vegan Swiss Meringue Buttercream is one of those things! This icing is like heaven on Earth, on your cake. Seriously! It is light, fluffy, and melts in your mouth. It goes on your cake like a dream too. I’ve made the Vegan (gluten Free) Chocolate Lover’s Cake seen above with this icing several times recently, in preparation for this post, and also for a birthday party and I’m happy to say that not only was it a huge hit, but it is now my go-to cake and icing recipe! It’s a cake that you can bring anywhere and because it’s dairy free and egg free, everyone will be able to enjoy it. They’ll love it too – I promise! Unless you know people who don’t like chocolate…. are there people like that? I’m going with not many!…
