Succulent Stuffing
Stuffing has been a staple since Ancient Rome (want to read up on the history? Check out The History of Stuffing.) Most serve stuffing during the Holidays, but you shouldn’t stop serving it then; it’s delicious and a true comfort food any time of the year! To add variety, add 1 Cup chopped walnuts and…

Orange Zested Cranberry Sauce
These updated classic cranberries burst with the aromatic flavor of fresh orange and a hint of fresh ginger. It’s the perfect addition to not only your Holiday table spread, but delectable any time of the year. You’ll have leftover orange peel, but don’t throw that away! You can store orange peels in your freezer, and…

Pure Pumpkin Pie
This simple, pure pumpkin pie can be made either with organic canned pumpkin puree, or you can make your own pumpkin puree as I did in this recipe. Homemade pumpkin puree is ridiculously easy to prepare (you can even bake a few pumpkins & freeze the leftover puree to use as-needed!). To steam your pumpkin,…

Scrumptious Spinach Sweet Potato Tofu Quiche
I’m positive I’m not the only one planning their Thanksliving meal. Yes, Thanksliving – my table spread is cruelty-free, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. Friends tell me how difficult it can be not only being vegan, but gluten-free during the holidays and it shouldn’t be! That’s what motivates my food: I want everyone to be able…

Scrumptious Meatless Tofu Loaf
This year will be my first gluten-free Thanksliving! 10 months ago I had to relearn my eating habits and at first I was lost & felt like I’d never be able to enjoy food again. I wouldn’t let negativity bog me down! I refused to eat processed, let alone mostly tasteless gluten-free options (and then…

I cannot stress the importance of using all organic non-GMO products. If you’re wondering, “What are GMOs?!” or “Why shouldn’t I eat them?”, check out GMO Facts by the Non-GMO Project. If…

Simple Pumpkin Macaroni and Cashew Cheese Sauce
I’m in love with the Autumn harvest, which of course includes my true love, PUMPKIN! Macaroni & Cheese, in my opinion, is the definition of comfort food. I use my cashew cream sauce to make a normally-rich and heavy entree into a light, delicious & comforting meal. How can I step-up my mac ‘n cheese? …

Harvested Cranberry Bean Stew and Delicata Squash
This was my first time having cranberry beans, and I’m almost embarrassed to say, farm-fresh beans!! Where have I been hiding?! These beans were absolutely delicious; packed with folate, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein, just to name a few. This was a delicious quick and easy stew for dinner with family. If you don’t have…

Shepherd’s Pie with Gratifying Gravy
I ventured for my first time to Balsam Mountain in the Catskills (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1325324). Boy, did the weather forecast get this one wrong! That morning you could certainly tell Autumn had left us; as we got closer to the mountain we could see everything above 3,500 ft elevation was covered with a fresh sprinkle of snow. …

Take Out Chinese Part 2: Delectable Tofu in Spicy Garlic Sauce and Perfect Fried Rice
A few weeks ago I posted my Take Out Chinese at Home recipe and I was craving it again the other night! I wasn’t sure what to title this recipe; Joey sugeested “Best Chinese Food EVER” since he said this was his favorite Asian meal I’ve made to date; it DOES have a ring to…
