Healthy, Vegan and Gluten Free Memorial Day RecipesThere is no question about it, summer is here! Put away your coats and break out your swim suits because it’s time to frolick in the sun and hang out with friends by the bbq.  However you decide to kick off fun in the sun season, do it as healthy as possible because come back to school season, you want to make sure you fit in your jeans and you aren’t burnt to a crisp ; )  For more healthy and eco Memorial Day tips, check out last year’s post. This year, I’m sharing nothing but fun food so let’s start the party right but before we do, be sure to thank the veteran’s in your life because today, is their day ; )

Here’s a feast to enjoy all summer long:

Drunk BBQ Corn

10 ears fresh corn with husks

1 quart beer (non-alcoholic or wheat free if desired)

1 (7 pound) bag of ice cubes

Place whole ears of corn in an ice chest. Pour beer over top. Dump ice out over the ears of corn. Place the lid on the cooler, and let sit 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat smoker to 250 degrees. Place corn in the smoker and close the lid. Cook for 1 to 2 hours, turning every 20 minutes or so. Kernels should give easily under pressure when done. To eat, just peel back the husks and dig in!

Bruschetta Salad

8 cups Italian bread cubes

3 cups chopped tomatoes

1 cup minced fresh basil

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil

2 T cider or red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 garlic clove, minced

In a large bowl, combine the bread, tomatoes, basil and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients; drizzle over bread mixture. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.


Tropical Chick’n Sticks

1 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup light soy sauce4

4 boxes of Gardein Chick’n Filets

skewers

In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Remove from heat just before the mixture comes to a boil. Place chick’n  in a medium bowl. Cover with the pineapple marinade, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat grill for medium heat. Thread chicken lengthwise onto wooden skewers. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chick’n tenders 3 minutes per side. They cook quickly, so watch them closely.


Summer Grillin’ Veggie Sandwich

1/4 cup veganaise

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 T lemon juice

1/8 cup olive oil

1 cup sliced red bell peppers

1 small zucchini, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

1 small yellow squash, sliced

2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally

1/2 cup Daiya shredded Mozzerella cheese

In a bowl, mix the veganaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill for high heat. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside. Spread some of the veganaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don’t burn. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.


SweetLeaf Punch

2 (750 milliliter) bottles sparkling apple cider

1 liter carbonated water

3 large oranges

2 lemons

1 bottle of SweetLeaf Lemonade

1 T sugar

2 trays ice cubes

Thinly slice the lemons and the oranges and place in a large punch bowl. Pour in lemonade. Gently stir in the seltzer water and the sparkling apple cider. Add sugar to taste. Add large block of ice.


Creamy Strawberry Banana Pops

2 cups So Delicious strawberry banana coconut milk yogurt

1⁄2 cup light-brown sugar

18 vegan vanilla wafers

Whisk yogurt and brown sugar in a bowl to blend. Divide between six 3-oz waxed paper cups. Freeze 1 hour. Insert a Popsicle stick in each cup. Freeze at least 2 hours more. Put cookies in a ziptop bag; crush with a rolling pin. Working with 2 pops at a time to prevent melting, carefully tear off cups. Roll both in cookie crumbs. Place in a new cup; freeze until ready to eat. Repeat with remaining cups and crumbs.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and enjoy the start of summer!! xoxo
