Gluten-Free Millet Pie Crust

Image
Here are two gluten-free vegan pie crust recipes using millet flour—one for a savory veggie pie and one for a banana cream pie. Each recipe includes the full instructions for the pie. Why Use Millet Flour? Millet flour is a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, offering a mild, slightly nutty flavor.  It’s rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and iron, which support digestion, heart health, and energy metabolism. Millet also contains vitamins, and is particularly abundant in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and B2 (Niacin), and is also a very good source of other B vitamins, including B9, folic acid.  Unlike over-refined flours, millet has a low glycemic index, making it a great choice for balanced blood sugar levels. Its light texture works well in both sweet and savory dishes, making it an excellent base for gluten-free baking.

More Satisfying Savory Sandwich Spreads- Plant-Based (Vegan)

The Art of Home-made Vegan Sandwich Spread... Sandwiches have an interesting history (see the bottom of the article) and most adults today, even the vegan ones, probably grew up eating an array of different types of fillers between the slices of bread that made up their sandwich: peanut butter and jam, egg salad, baloney, salmon, grilled cheese, roast beef, and burgers, to mention a few.

They are largely whole food, plant-based, so the ingredients do not include any animal products such as dairy, eggs, meat, fish, or fowl. Salt is used in very small quantities, if at all. Sugg...

Samm'n Spread

Image
  There are quite a few different delicious recipes for this mock salmon spread out there and on the web. This particular recipe is a little lower in sodium, and has no added oils. It is, of course, plant-based (or "vegan" or "veganized" if you prefer). I'm calling it "Samm'n" just to distinguish it somewhat from the fish. This can be whipped up pretty quickly in a food processor or a blender. I would recommend chopping up the celery and carrot into fairly small pieces, and when you are done the processing/pulsing, you may find some large chunks that need to be separated and re-processed after you have removed the spread from the processing container. But the picky-ness is really worth it! It is yummy and makes about 2 1/2 cups or 6 great sandwiches or a topping for a multitude of crackers! INGREDIENTS:     2 cups of raw almonds- store-bought blanched or soaked overnight and "skin" at time of use, by boiling for exactly one minute and rin...
