Gluten-free Stovetop Stuffing



Gluten-free stove top stuffing--
a delish nosh bowl along with sauerkraut salad, hummus, broccoli, and kimchee. 

The recipe for a plant-based gluten-free stovetop stuffing came about when I was using a little poultry seasoning in what I hoped would be a yummy savory quinoa flour waffle. For some reason, the waffle stuck to the iron (grrr) but I tasted the mess and it was quite lovely.  I filed the idea away for some sort of dish containing quinoa flour and poultry seasoning. After making a series of recipes for whole wheat crockpot bread and quinoa GF crockpot bread, I ended up with a heel of quinoa bread about five days old, needing some rescue recipe (too good to throw out or to allow to mold). Tonight was the night.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE GLUTEN-FREE STUFFING RECIPE (Serves 4)
  • The heel of a small heavy, soft loaf of quinoa bread: about 4 slices + end/crust piece
  • 1 cup of veggie broth (or like-chicken vegan broth)
  • 1/2 cup toasted quinoa flour
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut oil or margerine
  • 1 cup of chopped mushrooms (I used sliced cremini)
  • 1 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup of finely-chopped onion
  • 1 cup of finely-chopped celery
  • 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1+ teaspoon of poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon of thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon of dried sage
METHOD FOR MAKING THE GLUTEN-FREE STUFFING RECIPE
  1. Cut the bread into 1" cubes and set aside
  2. Toast quinoa flour (I made the flour in a Vitamix) in a dry wok for about 5 minutes, continuously stirring to prevent burning. This gets rid of the slightly bitter taste that some folks do not like. When slightly cooled, mix the flour into the veggie broth.
  3. Heat a dry wok or heavy fry pan on medium heat. Add the coconut oil or margarine and the mushrooms, onion, and celery. Stir fry for a couple of minutes. Add the salt or tamari or GF soy sauce.
  4. Add the next four seasonings.
  5. Stir in the bread crumbs.
  6. Before adding the veggie broth/flour mix, give it a stir to free up any sticky flour on the bottom of the jar/glass.
  7. Mix in the veggie broth and use the spatula in the way you might if making an omelet, pushing and lightly flipping until the vegetables and bread cubes are tender and enrobed in the quinoa-herb coating.
  8. Dish up and enjoy. Eat as a protein item in a plant-based meal, or by itself as a "nosh".

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
