Vegetarian-Gumbo

I know you have all been dying for this recipe since I posted a sneak peak a few weeks ago on Instagram.

I’ve got a bunch of healthy dinner recipes coming your way this fall, so you can sit back and kick off your shoes because dinner is about to get really easy!

Now you can enjoy this Gluten-Free & Vegan Chickpea Gumbo all to yourself instead of living vicariously through my Instagram images!

It’s perfect for dinner and fabulous for lunch leftovers the next day, too.

Chickpea-Gumbo

I made this dish over the summer but I’ll certainly be making it again and again throughout the fall and winter because it’s such a hearty dish that can warm you up on a chilly day or any day, for that matter.

Gluten-Free-Gumbo

The best part of this gumbo is that it literally melts in your mouth and it’s pretty impossible to not want to make it again and again and again. Trust me. Try it once…you’ll see what I mean.

Vegan-Gumbo

It’s not hard to finish the whole pot in one sitting. And it goes great on top of quinoa or brown rice, too.

Just a little food for thought.

Get your spoons ready, folks…this one is another keeper.

I was lost, searching for answers and alone for 12 years until I learned how to get my body working for me, not against me—to address the underlying symptoms instead of using a Band-aid approach to reclaim my vitality. I want to show you that eating and living clean feels incredible. Once you see life this way, you’ll never go back. Ever. Come play along with me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. I’m here for you.

  10. This really looks so beautifully tasty! Sounds like a dish I would love to eat all the time. I’ve only tried okra once and I loved it, can’t think why I didn’t add it to the shopping list, thanks for reminder!!

  41. I thought for the longest time that I hated okra. I was wrong. And this gumbo needs to be made very soon. What would you reccommend as an accompanyment? When I make chili, my husband always looks for cornbread or corn muffins. I’m just not sure what I could make with a gumbo since I’ve never made it.
