Ask the Editor

My sister-in-law and her 15 month old son are vegetarian and have gluten allergies. She used to be vegan, but do to a stressed schedule and family conflict, has decided to eat dairy and eggs again. Do know of any quick, vegan, gluten free recipes that keep well and still taste good? I know it's asking a lot, but I would love to send her some premade food to encourage her to go back to veganism. Thanks!

Some good ones you may want to try or recommend to her include: Mary's Gluten Free Muffins, Bear's Gluten Free Linguine, Vegetable Pasta Salad using rice or lentil pasta, Herbed Quinoa, Rainbow Confetti Rice, Simple Tomato Risotto, Tex-Mex Tofu, and Best Banana Cake.
