Gluten Free Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe
Douglas McNish makes a mean Raw Vegan Gluten Free Cheesecake. I started with his recipe and by the time I was finished, it developed into this lovely raw pumpkin cheesecake recipe. You will need a high speed blender to make this. There is no getting around it. If you are not fortunate enough to own one, note that there are lower cost alternatives to the VitaMix brand. Meanwhile, raw pumpkin cheesecake is topped with raw caramel sauce, whipped nut cream, and cocoa nibs. I’ve included all of the recipes including how to make raw vanilla extract “liquid”. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Smoky Venison Stew Recipe
With deer hunting coming to an end, at least in California, I thought I would share this amazing gluten free smoky venison stew recipe with you. I never used to eat venison until I developed this recipe. I created it in honor of Wright’s Liquid Smoke’s upcoming venison easy to enter contest where they will reveal three additional smoky venison recipes and giveaway a huge gift certificate. (Stay tuned in for details next week.) Because venison can be taste gamy, searing the meat covers the gamy flavor, as does smoked paprika and liquid smoke. If you happen to have some venison in your freezer (deer hunters often give some away), I hope you enjoy this recipe. (Wright’s Liquid Smoke is gluten-free.)

Gluten Free Chow Mein Recipe with Chicken
To make a great-tasting gluten free chow mein recipe you need the same ingredients as its gluten counterpart. It’s all in the quality of noodles you use. I use brown rice spaghetti; however, using spaghetti containing corn is more authentic. Heartland’s gluten free spaghetti is excellent. Quality brands of brown rice spaghetti include Tinkyada and Jovial. Add this recipe to your easy gluten free recipes as it cooks up fast. Enjoy!

Tips
*If you have hot chili oil, use 1/2 teaspoon of it to replace the sesame oil and omit the red pepper flakes. Chili oil is what I use, but not everyone can find it.
You can add any vegetables you desire: snow peas, yellow onion, green or red bell pepper, or even water chestnuts.

Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream
This is more of a sherbet than a vegan pumpkin ice cream, but is still extremely delicious for a diary free version. Since its development, I have discovered that adding one teaspoon of xanthan gum added to ice cream creates a more chewy texture. In this recipe you would need to mix about 1/2 teaspoon of gum with the oil. Note, that this is not a new recipe, but the original, published in 2010, seems to have vanished from this site. Enjoy!

Super Crunchy Gluten Free Bread Sticks Recipe (Breadsticks)
This crunchy gluten free bread sticks recipe is so crunchy, I just had to share it with you. The recipe was inspired by the ingredients in Schar’s Gluten Free Breadsticks. They are much harder and crispier than Schar’s, but in gluten free bread sticks, this is a good thing. Other names for these bread sticks are grissini (thin, crisp Italian breadsticks) or dipping sticks. See my below notes to learn more. Then try them yourself.
