When I think of appetizers I think of a big ol’ charcuterie board. But, gone are the days of cured meats and cheeses. Instead I have created some delicious and easy to make appetizers that your guests will find unique and hard to believe they are so healthy.

Unbelievably good vegan scalloped potatoes

You will not believe how good this recipe is. It makes a lot, so you’ll have tons of leftovers! What you will need: 5-6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced with a mandoline 3 cups non-dairy milk 1/4 cup GF flour 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (don’t skip this – its key!) 1 vegetable bouillon cube or…

Easy Baked Cornbread

This slightly sweet cornbread is amazing after dinner, or as a side with some chili. As long as you have cornmeal you are good to go. What you will need: 3/4 cup gluten free flour 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (if your flour doesn’t already include it) 1 cup cornmeal 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2…

The recipe: 2 avocados 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic 1 and a half tablespoons prepared salsa of your choice salt and pepper to taste lime juice (for those of you who can do dairy,…
