After a busy weekend, I’m popping in quickly to share this amazing vegan seitan rice salad recipe. It’s a take-off on a favorite (and long gone) restaurant dish. Way back when, I used to have it with chicken, but even then (this was almost 20 years ago), the restaurant offered a vegan version with seitan. I […]
Zesty Pasta Salad with White Beans, Apples, Raisins and Grapefruit Vinaigrette

Since then I’ve used it to make burritos, chili, and even curry (links below), so making a vegan tuna salad seemed like natural progression. This amazing fruit/vegetable makes the perfect whole food meat substitute. It contains […]
