Gluten Free Veggie Pasta Salad

November 14, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

All right, I know it’s almost Thanksgiving and for many parts of the world it’s already cold enough outside to be wearing heavy jackets and mittens, but here in southeast Texas the weather is kind of amazing 🌞 It’s been warm and mild during the day and chilly at night, but not so chilly that I’m freezing my vegan butt off. So even though pasta salad feels more like a spring or summer dish, I’m gonna put it out there anyway because this pasta salad is really delicious and healthy and filling.

For starters, this pasta is gluten free and contains minimal ingredients. I love that. Then it gets tossed in a tangy dressing and topped with tons of delicious veggies. I even added some pre-seasoned, pre-cooked tofu crumbles for added texture and protein πŸ™Œ

This Gluten Free Pasta Salad is perfect for lunch with friends or for making a huge batch to provide you with quick on-the-go meals for the rest of the week. It’s an easy way to get those veggies in πŸ…πŸ‹ if that’s something that’s a struggle for you 😜

Doggie Style – Vegan Hot Dogs in Austin

doggie style - vegan hot dogs in Austin

Hot dawg! πŸ”₯ 🐢

I was a fan of hot dogs briefly during my childhood and then they became increasingly weird and icky to me, especially once I found out what’s actually in hot dogs, but we won’t go there in this post 😩

This post is all about Doggie Style, the new vegan food truck in Austin, Texas that serves what else – vegan hot dogs!!! My non-vegan boyfriend and I decided to check it out (i.e. I forced him to come with me) but I had a feeling he would like this place because he’s very open minded about vegan food and is a fan of pretty much all things vegan 😘

First, here’s the basics:

Kid Friendly Vegan Goulash

Before I made this recipe, I had heard of goulash before but honestly had no clue what it actually was. It wasn’t until my roommate at the time made a non-vegan version of it and told me how easy it was, that I decided to do a little investigating. Traditional goulash originates from Hungary and consists of a soup or stew with meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices.

American goulash, on the other hand, is more of a spaghettios-on-crack-type-situation. It usually includes elbow macaroni, ground beef, onions & garlic, tomato sauce and the option of cheese. My roommate gave me the recipe for the latter and it sounded super easy to veganize, so I gave it a try. This vegan goulash is a very savory, filling comfort food with plant based protein and only takes about half an hour to make a huge pot. Kids will love it because it’s a simple, tasty dish! Oh, and it’s gluten free too!

Let’s get cooking πŸ”ͺπŸπŸ΄πŸ…

Protein Packed Breakfast Tostadas

I’m one of those people that must eat a hearty breakfast with hot coffee every single morning NO. MATTER. WHAT. β˜•οΈ But as as a vegan, sometimes it can feel like my breakfast choices are limited. I can only handle so much oatmeal. I can’t cook up eggs and bacon. I’m also gluten free, so pancakes and bagels and waffles can be tricky. What’s a vegan girl to do?…

Whip up some healthy breakfast tostadas filled with creamy refried black beans, crispy potatoes, sliced avocado, crunchy red onion, and hot sauce & vegan ranch of course! So much yes. I want them right now and it’s no where near breakfast time as I write this but it doesn’t matter because tostadas can be consumed any time of day 🍽

If you’re looking for something new to throw into the breakfast mix, or want something filling and healthy, or just a mega breakfast of champions, try these Protein Packed Breakfast TostadasπŸ‹πŸ’ͺ They’re pretty addictive.

Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole

Oh bright yellowy goodness πŸ’›Β πŸŒž (That would be homemade cashew cheese sauce y’all)

I came up with this recipe on the fly because I wanted something filling and easy to make that I could store in the fridge and eat for several days with zero effort to prepare. And so this cheesy Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole was born πŸ‘Ά

It’s got loads of protein coming from the Beyond Meat chicken strips and quinoa, good fats from the cashews, and anti-inflammatory properties in the turmeric. Plus, it’s utterly delicious and you will wolf it down faster than you can blink 🐺 Not to mention, like all of my other recipes, it’s vegan and gluten free!
