I’m sure you’re busy getting ready for the holidays next week. I want to give you a wonderful recipe that’s easy enough to make tonight and you can eat it until Christmas.
Allyson Kramer’s Pumpkin Chickpea Chili from Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats is filled with some of my favorite ingredients. Don’t have time to go shopping? Check your pantry because you might have everything you need already.
The next time you get fresh cilantro here’s a way to save what you don’t use up. Puree it with some water and freeze in ice cube trays. Make sure to use the stems because there’s tons of flavor in there too. Not only will it keep you from throwing it out, but you’ll have some on hand to throw in a soup, stew or a pot of beans whenever you want!

Gluten-free cooking is new to me, so what I look for is not having to buy a bunch of exotic flours right off the bat. Just dipping my little toe in for now.
Diane Ronches-Vandermast says
Looks great and I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. Guess what’s for supper tomorrow? 🙂
Angeline says
A gluten free recipe to me would have lots of flavor.
Emma says
I agree with Sara. I like to avoid the exotic flours, even though I’ve been gluten free for years. Whipping up some GF oat flour from my oatmeal in the food processor is about as far as I want to go.
Ali @ Farmers Market Vegan says
I look for the same things that I look for in any other recipe–a wholesome ingredient list with smart, creative flavor combinations.
Marla says
Gluten free+nut free. Too many recipes call for almonds!
Marlee says
Can never have too many cookbooks, right? The ravioli on the front cover looks yummy!
Beth says
I look for recipes that are not too complicated, and don’t call for difficult to find ingredients.
April says
I look for one that does not have too many (not more than a 4:1) added starches and very little to no sugar, even if it is natural like honey or maple syrup. My mother doesn’t like to eat even honey so I try to minimize the use of it- after all, food tastes best eaten together 🙂
Natasha says
The recipe sounds flavorful! I love chili but I don’t like using cans.
mason says
I typically look for whole foods and lots of flavor!
Ashley says
Lots of fresh flavor (i.e.- spices, herbs!)…thanks for the chance to win!
Cindy says
Ingredients I have in the refrigerator (or pantry) that I need to use quickly!
Deb E says
Yes, it’s important that the ingredients list is not too long and complicated. I’d love it to be quick and easy to put together. If possible too, not too expensive to create.
Simona says
Wholefoods and great flavour and texture!
Susan says
Easy ingredients that I either have on hand, or aren’t difficult to find and purchase.
ten b says
i look for ingredients that are easy to find – it’s 45 minutes to a decent grocery store – and a recipe that will appeal to children, cause there’s no point if they won’t even try it.
Terri Cole says
I would prefer to have recipes that stick to simple ingredients.
Carolsue says
I look for recipes that are easy to make, yet look tasty and eye appealing

cynthia says
should look tasty, not be too complicated, and preferably contain ingredients I already have on hand!
Karen D says
I like to be able to envision the end product, and have some idea if the flavors work well together
Christina A. says
I look for simple and wholesome…but still tasty!
