A Bagel Challenge?
Yes, a bagel challenge. What’s the challenge? Make a vegan gluten-free breakfast bagel every day in April. The difficult part is to never create the same recipe twice. So far, it hasn’t been too difficult. My creative juices are working hard but inspiration is everywhere.
Not a lover of traditional breakfast foods so creating something extraordinary has been fun. A peek in the refrigerator or pantry and I’m on my way. Inspiration often comes from leftovers. Hence, the spawn of a juicy marinara, grilled kale, and shiitake mushroom pizza bagel breakfast perfected! Subsequently, more to come.
Below are the first two weeks in April. These bagel pics are here to inspire and get you out of the breakfast, or lunch, stupor.

Hello!
I am vegan and gluten free. I have been having trouble finding a vegan gluten free brand that is actually delicious. Also most vegan cheeses make me feel bloated. Do you have any recommendations for both things? I would love to try out all your recipes!

Good Afternoon,
Vegan and gluten-free that is good is always a challenge. O’doughs brand for bagels is my favorite which I find at Earth Fare. Reach out to the company if you have difficulty finding it. GF bread loaves I love Little Northern Bakehouse also at Earth Fare. Not big into the vegan cheese but when I do indulge I like Follow Your Heart Parmesan shreds. Another cheese brand that is great for pizza and melts really nicely is Violife. We will be posting a new recipe video for our vegan ranch dressing this weekend that is crazy good. Keep watching Vegan Gluten Free Life is making some changes to our site within the next few months…exciting stuff. We will be testing out products the give-back, environmentally conscious, vegan, and more. Hope this was helpful!! Best to you.

I hope your recipe search has been working out for you. Happy Holidays!
