Black bean hummus stuffed cucumber rolls. Vegan.

December 19, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Brunch, Gluten Free, Holiday, Party Foods, Snacks, Thanksgiving, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free 33 Comments

   
December is finally upon us so key up the get-togethers, parties, food, food and more food that will be consumed.  With the most indulgent foods being consumed in between Thanksgiving through New Year’s – I always love to throw in some really healthy, yet flavorful dishes to offset the gluttony and honestly, I prefer healthy options over rich, heavier foods.

Cucumbers are rich in potassium, vitamin C, B1, biotin and magnesium. Plus, during the holidays when we tend to neglect hydration, they are filled with water.  In this recipe I share my latest obsession – black bean hummus but you can easily use store-bought if you prefer.  This appetizer takes minutes to make so they are perfect for impromptu gatherings.

Rosemary Roasted Almonds. Vegan.

December 13, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Appetizers, Breakfast, Brunch, Gift ideas, Holiday, Holiday Baking Ideas, Nuts, Party Foods, Snacks, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free, Your Life Edit Foundations Leave a Comment

The holidays can’t be filled with sweets only, right?  Right!  I love giving a healthy alternative for food gifts or treats during the holiday.  Each year I seem to make some variety like these, these or these.  These are so simple yet packed with a beautiful Rosemary flavor.  Plus putting an extra sprig of Rosemary when you pack them adds a bit of holiday flare.  And maybe you prefer to stick with sweet treats to giveaway… I get that.  But you need some salty snacks when family and friends gather so add these to your appetizer platter or charcuterie board, vegan of course.

Once cooled, these nuts pack up nicely and do ship perfectly as well in a care package.

Tempeh Hempe Taco Meat. Vegan. GF.

December 7, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Breakfast, Evolution Power Yoga 40 Days, Gluten Free, Mexican, Sponsored, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free 4 Comments

My friends over at Hempe Plant Protein reached out and asked if I wanted to test out their newest product I jumped. Their tempeh has always been a game changer for me.  This however was a complete shock… it wasn’t soy based at all yet made from chickpeas and hemp seeds.  I was thrilled!  Right out of the package it tasted great.  Wait, what? I seriously could snack on this raw it was so good.

I was pondering some different avenues to take this wonderful protein source and opted to go the taco route.  It turned out great and is perfect on your taco bar or like I did, in my salad as my protein source.

Let’s chat about nutrition before I tackle my recipe…

Hemp is crafted and cultured like traditional soy tempeh.
Excellent source of Omega 3’s.
No gluten or soy.
Good for the environment.
Easy to prepare.
Savory flavor.

Vegan GF Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

December 6, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Brunch, Cookies, Gluten Free, Holiday, Holiday Baking Ideas, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free 2 Comments

Cookies, a staple of the holiday diet, right?  Well when you don’t eat dairy or gluten all those classics are off the table… or so you think. I wanted to recreate and old favorite and these came out perfectly. The addition of molasses syrup gives these cookies a great depth of flavor.  And please the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a immediate win in most people’s books so there you go!

Short on time this month so let’s get to this recipe!

Gift Guide for the host or hostess.

December 3, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Brunch, Gift ideas, Holiday Gift Guides, Vegan Leave a Comment

I wanted to do a host/hostess gift guide that would encompass both day events (thinking a cookie swap or brunch) to an evening party that had a bit more glam.  The price points are under $10 to the high end of under $40.  All are gifts that will be used and not cast aside like the typical hostess gifts given.  I hope you find several ideas and many would also work as stocking stuffers as well.  The next and final gift guide will be shared hopefully Monday.  This allows plenty of time to order and receive.  Happy holidays friends!

Our vegan Thanksgiving from Herbivorous Butcher

November 27, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Breakfast, Gluten Free, Thanksgiving, Vegan, Vegan proteins Leave a Comment

I know the food fest of Thanksgiving is past & we’re all mentally on board for the next round of holidays however… I wanted to share our Thanksgiving highlights with you all.  This year we ordered our vegan entree (turkey, sausage, cheeses etc.) from Herbivorous Butcher in MN.  My youngest had suggested it & I was happy to oblige. Cooking for a living sometimes takes the sparkle of cooking a big holiday dinner.  We opted to limit the carnivore side a lot as everyone always seems to gravitate towards the vegan options (go figure).  So I ordered their Thanksgiving feast along with a gluten free sampler of pulled pork and chicken (yes it’s vegan) along with several cheeses.  Bill had their lunch meat in West Chester a few months ago and was in love… I just knew this was going to be fabulous & it was!
