Vegan Thanksgiving Series: Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms & Pumpkin Pasta Entrees

In the first and second part of this series, I shared my favorite vegan appetizer and side recipes to make up a delicious Thanksgiving meal.

Whether it’s repairing damage from the summer sun or prepping for the cold, dry winter, lots of us are thinking about keeping our hair healthy right now. I know how hard it can be to invest in new products, do weekly hair masks, and give up the styling habits that can cause damage. Fortunately, a lot of hair-health progress can be made just by working certain foods into your diet.

There is nothing quite like Pumpkin Pie; the rich earthiness of the pumpkin, the complex spices and the flaky crust are all classic elements that come together to create this delicious dessert. The almond milk adds some creaminess and the corn starch substitutes for eggs, giving the pie filling a thick consistency. I suggest topping your slice of vegan pumpkin pie with some whipped coconut cream for the full effect!

During fall, it seems that right along with all the yummy warming foods and chilly outdoor celebrations come the colds and the flus, without fail.  Unfortunately, because our schedules don’t usually shift to accommodate the seasons, sometimes we can feel like we’re taken a bit off-guard when we’re adjusting sleep patterns, driving home from work in the dark, and needing to bundle up every time we go outside.
