Gluten Free Seitan

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: FAQ

A common question I get is how to make something gluten-free. For things like baked goods, you can use a gluten-free all purpose flour blend (purchased commercially or made at home) or try my nifty oat flour trick.

A Post for HH from Andrea

Posted by:Andrea Dermos Category: Guests

I might be the pickiest vegan ever, it wasn't until I got here that I tasted things like..miso, vegan mayo, and I have finally stopped refusing to eat things that have mustard in them. 

While Lindsay is away, she has limited access to her blog and Twitter and Facebook..but I know these grocery pictures will put …
