I have this awesome recipe for vegan meatloaf that I used to make for Thanksgiving each year. But since going gluten free I’m struggling to replace the panko breadcrumbs. I’ve tried oats, oat flour, and crushed up crackers but I get this mushy texture. What’s the best substitute you’ve found for panko breadcrumbs for use in a vegan meatloaf or meatball?

Can’t lie, the flavors are solid. I used angel hair rice noodles - which, honestly, I probably should’ve just tried to find GFV ramen noodles instead bc the texture was definitely noticeable. Not nasty or anything, just different. My only other critique is that the chili crisps I used had rice bran oil (ik, not the best) & in the process of eating, all the oil would float to the top & it just looked like I was eating a bowl of oil which mentally kinda f’d me up lol. Other than that, I’m proud of myself & know what to change next time!!

This was the recipe used to make it. I changed a few things:
1.) Gochujang instead of doubanjiang bc I couldn’t find it anywhere
2.) Califia Farms Organic Almondmilk instead of soy milk
3.) Coconut aminos instead of soy sauce

I forgot to grab seaweed I was devastated but will definitely use next try!!!

It tastes like straight beer 😭 I had the same issue with Schars hot dog buns- they were inedible to me because of the yeast smell/flavor.

This is my riff on the kraft pumpkin cake recipe, the flavours hold a lot of nostalgia for me.
Gf cake mix x2 (metro brand any will do),
Coco whip x2,
vegan cream cheese x2,
2 cups icing sugar
can of pumpkin x1,
can of coconut milk x1,
2 cups of brown sugar,
vanilla
the pumpkin spices
pecans (optional but delightful)
flax seeds (as 'egg').
This is probably the closest i've gotten to how I remember it being. My cakes always turn out waaaay too dense so if anyone has tips for stopping that please help me !!!

Bonus points for recs on:
- pizza
- bagels
- Brooklyn spots

ETA: thanks everyone for these amazing recs! I left a comment with reviews of the spots I went to ❤️ NYC is an amazing place to be vegan + GF!

Hi everyone! First of all I’m a relatively new vegan (about a month or so) but I’d been lowering my animal product intake for a while before I just gave it all up.

Going over the initial stage of feeling better ethically etc I now need to think about the long term practical effects of making this a long term change that I can stick to.

I have coeliac disease and I find that a LOT of the alternatives contain wheat as the protein source which means I tend to stick to the different variations of tofu.

But also, I’m rather confused as to what are the nutrients that are harder to get from a plant based diet and how everyone is getting them. Eg easy enough to supplement creatine and B12. But how do you take in the right levels of iodine, calcium and any other that I might not be aware of?

Summary, how do you balance any intolerances and getting enough nutrients? What resources do you lean on? Any advice?

TLDR; new vegan that’s gluten free too. Any advice?

hi! ive been gf for a while, not celiac so fine w ‘may contain’. im currently transitioning to being vegan (still eating some dairy or egg products i already have in my house). ive been enjoying marinating my own tofu and have found it all alot easier than expected. ive just been struggling with finding easy savory snacks. my gf noodle cups contain beef, my gf mac and cheese and gf pizza both contain dairy. im happy with making most of my meals as i have the time and enjoy cooking, but when i need a snack in a hurry i never have anything anymore. id always have my gf mac and cheese after coming home from a night out. so far i only really know of frys nuggets and tenders but theyre pretty expensive. specifically if you have any suggestions from woolies, coles or aldi that would be incredible!! tysm

I just got chard in my csa box. I haven't enjoyed it when I've eaten it before but obviously I don't want it to go to waste and my roommates won't eat it. Do you have any suggestions for recipes where I won't taste the bitterness?

Schar gluten free puffy pastry and Swap brand vegan chicken pieces helped make my pot pie dreams a reality.

Hi guys! I am planning on starting a mini cottage bakery from my house, both vegan and gf ! I was wondering what pastries/desserts/etc. you guys miss the most? Think even packaged goods - like twinkies and pop-tarts. Really curious to see :) I want to bring back the foods you guys miss and would literally find no where else most likely, and would also sell well! My sister is gluten free and we are both vegan!

I've made pop-tarts but I gotta find a more efficient way because those would NOT be worth the labor to sell ratio 😭 they were delish tho! 😏

Made a chocolate cake for a friend's birthday this weekend. If was a hit!

My friend’s doctor said she can’t eat:
meat
Fish
legumes
Avocado or olive oil

She has to be dairy free, gluten free and for all intents, paleo free.
What can she eat? I’m trying desperately to find recipes or ideas that will give her proteins and nutrients.

She likes smoothies and pastas and baked goods so if you know of anything that could work for that it would be ideal as she’s also autistic and some of her safe foods won’t be safe anymore. She is also a beginner cook so simple is best, thank you guys!

I haven’t had American Chinese food in such a long time. It did cost an arm and a leg but it is such a rare blessing to be able to go out to a restaurant and have a meal with friends without feeling like a burden or being left out altogether. The restaurant itself wasn’t vegan but there were so many options!

Go support the beansprout if you have the ability and the means. The food is great, the staff are kind, and it brings a sense of normalcy that many take for granted.
