Gluten Free Dining Friends RI is a group of friends who have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Our main purpose is to dine at the MANY restaurants in the local area that generously offer gluten free menus & selections. We will try to have monthly dine outs to enjoy RI and MA restaurants and have fun, make friends, share recipes or ideas. You can join us or use these pages as a free resource and find a safe place to dine. We are NOT a support group although we are friends with the local Celiac Support Group for Children, Inc. www.csgconline.com

The 100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes for your Vegan Kitchen

 by Kelly E. Keough

Image 1

Product Description

Vegan. Gluten-Free. Lots of raw. Superfoods! Smoothies and juices, too. Kelly Keough cured what ailed her with a mostly vegan, sugar free, gluten free approach to eating. The recipes in this book are all vegan, with many raw or macrobiotic in nature. Keough is a proponent of plant based proteins and superfoods, eating your greens but also enjoying some sweets - albeit with alternative sweeteners that are much healthier options!

A helpful appendix that describes many of the ingredients she uses is in the back, demystifying what maca is and encouraging the consumption of buckwheat. The book uses a general all purpose gluten free flour that is available in many grocery stores. There is not a recipe for one in the book!

Chapters include: Leafy greens, Dressings, Dips & Spreads, Veggies, Entrees, Pizza, Crackers & Chips, Soups & Stews, Pancakes, Granola, Muffins, Scones & Waffles, Desserts & Sweets, Drinks & Smoothies, Nut & Seed Milks & Nut Butters. High speed blenders and dehydraters are used!

sample recipes

RAW KALE WITH PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE AND GOJI

from “The 100 Best Gluten-free Recipes for Your Vegan Kitchen”

4 cups thinly sliced dinosaur kale                   
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup rice or coconut vinegar
1/4 cup Nature’s Agave
3 tablespoons Bragg’s liquid aminos
1/3 cup Navitas Naturals Goji Berries
1 quart fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

In large mixing bowl, add slice kale with lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt. Massage the wet ingredients into kale until kale wilts. Mix in sliced onion; set aside.

In medium mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, agave, and Bragg’s. Pour wet mixture onto prepared kale. Toss in Goji berries and prepared strawberries. Serve immediately.

Note: Skip strawberries, or only add as eaten as the strawberries will only taste good when served immediately.  This is because the vinegar will make the strawberries taste fermented if left in the fridge over 24 hours.

Yield: 5 cups.
