Gluten-free Pepperoni Pasta

Gluten Free Vegan Pepperoni Pasta

I always try to add a variety of vegetables in all my recipes to increase nutrient value.  This delicious pasta dish was created one night when I realize that I had veggie pepperoni leftover from a previous recipe creation and I needed to use it in some kind of recipe.   This is a simple and yet delicious gluten free recipe.  It does require that you have some of the homemade veggie pepperoni recipe on hand, otherwise the recipe is more involved but the pepperoni adds the depth of flavor to this dish so I wouldn't leave it out.

Vegan and Gluten Free St. Patricks Day Recipes

Vegan St. Patrick's Day Menu Recipes

I decided to create a wonderful meal for St. Patricks Day and I wanted to be able to share it with my readers.  If you  have ever created a recipe you know that they don't always work out the first time around so I had my work cut out for me creating this vegan corned beef recipe.  

The flavor of the vegan corned beef turned out really well, I think you will be very pleased with it.  I chose to make this gluten free because I know it is so hard forvegans to find gluten free meat substitutes.  I personally don't care for meat substitutes but my family enjoys them and I know for those who are new to the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle some familiar flavor or texture can be helpful.  I am in the process of creating more vegan and gluten free meat substitute recipes because I have noticed that this is a very popular question I am asked.

I want to improve the texture of some of the gluten free meat substitute recipes I have created so far.  I will be posting the recipes for the gluten free meat substitute recipes as they are created and perfected so if you would like the recipes please click to follow this blog and you will be updated as they become available.

The vegan corned beef recipe is a little tricky and it does need some time to cool down and firm up but it has a wonderful flavor.

This vegan gluten free brownie recipe falls somewhere between cakey and fudgy.  I prefer fudgy brownies so I am going to continue to tweak this recipe until I am satisfied, but for those who love a lighter brownie you will LOVE this one.  I served this to my extended family and they all really enjoyed it.  I wasn't going to publish the vegan gluten free brownie recipe yet but because it was well received by several brownie lovers I figured you would enjoy this first version and I'll post a more fudgy version for the fudgy brownie lovers when I get it finished.
