Instant Pot Butternut Soup - Vegan and Gluten-Free

Creamy, rich,silky, satisfying soup that is ready in under 15 minutes in the Instant Pot!

This is a classic Fall recipe, but is still perfect for those cool, early spring evenings. It is especially good for a fast, but nourishing dinner on a busy weeknight. This soup is even better the next day, when the flavors have fully developed and it keeps well in the refrigerator for several days. If you don't have an instant pot, I have included the instructions for the conventional method below. It is still fairly quick, if you steam the squash in the microwave.

My Instant Pot is a Mini (3 quart), so if you like, this recipe may be doubled.

Creamy Penne with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Vegetables (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

My favorite creamy pasta dish made vegan and gluten-free.

This has been a go-to meal for our family for a long time. It is easy, fast (takes less that 30 minutes to make) and you can use vegetables that you have on hand. I used mushrooms and asparagus this time (my favorite!), but I have used green beans, spinach and kale - all with great results.

When we began our plant based diet, I missed this dish. I needed to find a substitute for cream - and discovered cashew cream. Amazing!

Ratatouille (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

An easy version of the Classic French Provencal Dish.

I have read that Ratatouille is a dish that each French family makes in their own unique way. So, I am sharing with you an easy formula that you can use to make it as your family likes. The basic components are usually summer squashes, tomatoes, bell pepper and eggplant. Herbes de Provence is the spice mixture that gives Ratatouille it's special flavor. As you can see in the video below, I made it this time omitting the peppers and eggplant and adding in mushrooms. It works great with any combination of these vegetables.

Vegetables in season are always best, but we love it so much that we will happily enjoy it in February!

Gnocchi with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

An easy and delicious one-pot meal, ready in 10 minutes!

My family has fallen in love with gnocchi. They are a tender pasta made with potato. There are several on the market now that are gluten-free, so I keep our pantry well stocked! This dish is great on a busy night - but is also elegant enough to serve guests. All of the ingredients can be kept on hand in your pantry and refrigerator so that you can toss it all together for a very quick and very delicious dinner!

Vegan and Gluten-Free Cauliflower Soup

This Cauliflower Soup is creamy and comforting as well as Gluten-Free and Plant-Based.

The combination of spices and coconut milk make this soup so tasty! The addition of lemon juice brightens the flavors and makes this soup one that you will want to make again and again. You can also feel good about eating clean, healthy ingredients that will nourish as well as comfort.
