Gluten Free Vegan Resources

A Tribute to Gluten Free Vegans who share their treasures!



Blogs

The Gluten Free Vegan wordpress has a tasty looking recipe for Choc Chip Coconutty Cookies that I am looking forward to trying.



Wow, check out the amazing recipe index from the Gluten Free Family!! Life is calling for this family and they are no longer going to blog, but hopefully they don't take away that index.

Anne needs our moral support so please drop by her blog and leave some encouraging comments or tips. I love all of the information The Gluten Free Chef has available on her blog about gluten, allergies and celiac disease.

The Gluten Free, Soy Free Vegan has menus, one for Thanksgiving. the almond apple pie looks good and I find the crust impressive looking ;) Also, three flour mixes, gluten free gnocchi and a version of kale chips that I haven't tried.

Oooo, I can't wait to try Shirley's Flour less Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with a couple of very small adjustments in order to make it a vegan recipe, like exchange Earth Balance for the butter and maybe I will finally try replacing her one egg with the flax seed mixture I keep hearing about.

The Gluten Free Goddess has a huge vegan/vegetarian recipe index on her blog. I look forward to trying some of her bread recipes!! And she has the Dark Chocolate Brownies that looks divine and I want to try making vegan. Man, I am making a large to bake list :)

I enjoyed the gluten free vegan bread machine post from Gluten Free Vegan Munchies called sandwiches make me happy. Although it made me a little sad because I just gave away my bread machine before I found out I am allergic to wheat :(



Sites

Madhuram's Eggless Cooking provided me with the flax seed recipe above.

The Fat Free Vegan has a gluten free page.

As an online community for vegetarians and vegan who have celiac disease, vegiac.com has a lot to offer including books, recipes, restaurants, and more. Here is the link for gluten free vegan restaurants in Colorado, which I have been looking for and asking everyone I know for such recommendations.

Even though this article was written several years ago, I really like the gluten substitutions chart. The article, The Gluten-Free Vegan Diet: Easier than it Sounds was found on VegFamily, The Magazine for Vegan Family Living. Here Laura Bruno writes an additional article on The Gluten Free Vegan diet including tricks she has learned, supplements, online shops, and recommended products.

The Vegetarian Society has an information sheet for gluten free vegans with a very helpful chart, nutrition information and some links.

Namaste Foods has a bunch of recipes that use their allergy friendly mixes. The Recipe Club by VegNews has a vegan Almond Cheese recipe and several links to Thanksgiving ideas.

Restaurants in Colorado

Boulder

Most of these are recommendations from friends, although, some I know nothing about.

Buddha Thai Cuisine  Although not entirely a vegan restaurant, it seems to have quite a few options. I haven't tried it yet, but it is on my list. Has anyone tried it or seen reviews??  

Pei Wei has a gluten free menu and I think you can order any of the dishes with tofu instead of chicken.

The Med

Turley's has a large gluten free menu with a couple vegan options.

Mad Greens

VG Burgers has an asterisk by all of the gluten free options on their menu and they are "100% vegan & organic".

The Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant has several entrees that are vegan and look like they might be GF, this needs some investigation.

Here's a pizza place that serves GF/DF pizza! http://o-pizza.com/menu/



Denver

Watercourse Foods has always been a favorite of mine. They have loads of vegan options, however I am not sure about GF, they have always been very accommodating so I am sure they would be able to come up with some GF options. I haven't been since I found out about my wheat allergy.

The Happy Cow has a long list of vegan and vegetarian friendly places in Denver, but no mention of gluten free.

Root Down! Yum, some of their menu items are available gluten free and vegan. Love this place.

The Beet Box looks promising, they are a vegan bakery that has cookies, muffins, scones and cakes that are gluten free. They sell at the following places: Pablo?s Coffee, Wash Perk, Paris on the Platte, Sweet Action Ice Cream, The Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast, Fluid Coffee Bar, Cafe Europa, Crema Coffee House, Penn Street Perk, Hooked on Colfax, EVOBEAN, Grind Haus, and Yellow Feather Coffee.

Mermaids Bakery offers GF cakes and cupcakes and some can be made vegan.
