Savory Pumpkin Soup (Vegan)

*Serves 3-4 people

Japanese Yams are worlds above plain old potatoes in both taste and nutrition. Pop one in the oven and you’ve got an instant fall lunch that will warm you up in seconds flat.

This is one chocolate pudding recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth and make you feel good! The avocado acts as the creamy base of the pudding, providing both thickness and nutrients, while the cocoa powder and coconut milk give it that signature pudding flavor. Subtle notes of cinnamon and vanilla combine with the sweetener to round out this unexpected dessert.  

Chocolate Avocado Pudding (Vegan)

*Serves 4

Supplies:

Blender

Ingredients:

2 large avocados

Sweet potatoes have gained a reputation of being healthier for you than white potatoes, and this is 100% true. Although both kinds of potatoes have similar profiles when it comes to carbohydrates and protein, their nutrient profile is very different.

Easy Mushroom Gravy (Vegan)

*Makes about 4 servings

This easy mushroom gravy is quick and only requires a few simple ingredients to make it! Any mushroom can be used, though I recommend Cremini mushrooms. The mushrooms, red wine and soy sauce blend together to create a deliciously complex and savory flavor profile. This gravy is creamy, earthy and well-balanced, making it the perfect complement to your mashed potatoes, biscuits or another main dish.

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped mushrooms

¼ cup vegetable oil

It’s finally fall (only fancy folks say “autumn”). This time of year, in between summer and winter, is my absolute favorite season. I’m a horror film fanatic; this means that, leading up to Halloween, I actually have a chance at successfully convincing the scaredy cat types to let me pick the movie. Also, I’m a sucker for Halloween decorations (if I stop to look around, you’ll have to drag me out of the aisle). Don’t even get me started on how wonderfully crisp the air becomes. Are you as obsessed with the colors of the leaves as I am? Mother Nature is quite the artist.

The season is changing, and so are the recipes. Fall brings a bounty of pumpkins, cranberries, apples, and a whole variety of new flavors. Soon the days of ripe red tomatoes, corn roasting on the grill, and juicy watermelon will turn to comforting, hearty meals. Before you embrace the new bounty of nature, give summer a bon voyage with this panzanella salad.

Vegan Pie Crust

*Yields 2 crusts

Treat yourself or some party guests to a homemade vegan pie (or two) this season. With the holidays in sight, colder weather is the perfect excuse to stay inside and bake! Whether you prefer the classic apple pie, a fruity berry blend, or creamy key lime, the options for delicious vegan pie fillings are endless. Pro tip: to achieve the creaminess of key lime, or zest up your pumpkin pie, try adding some silken tofu to the filling!

Ingredients:
