A More Creative Thanks-Living Feast 🙏
|
Hi Reader, In case you missed it, I sent an email on the 14th with some of my most popular "classic" Thanksgiving dinner recipes. The problem is, I have so many favorites, it's always difficult to narrow it down! Also, we all have different tastes and dietary needs (or are accommodating guests who do)... And maybe you're just a total rebel 😎 and like to try new things every year, which by the way, I completely agree with! 🙌 So today I thought I'd share some of my slightly more unique holiday recipes that deserve consideration just as much as the vegan turkey and gravy! I absolutely love this chickpea loaf. It's savory, wholesome, and loaded with satisfying texture thanks to chickpeas, mushrooms, kale, walnuts, and wild rice.
With sweet potato, kale, and seasoned soy curls, this fall-inspired pot pie is healthy comfort food at its best!
Another gluten-free option, with its balance of savory, sweet, and tart, this protein-rich, chewy tofu just might be the surprise hit of Thanksgiving dinner!
Lightly fruity, sweet, and tangy, this creamy slaw is a refreshing contrast to heavier, savory dishes.
When everyone starts feeling snack-ish while watching the game, forget the tomato salsa and chips. Serve up some colorful cranberry salsa instead!
Trust me, this dish will surprise you! Featuring cauliflower two ways, blended into the creamy sauce and as florets, it tastes richer than it is. And that makes it perfect for Thanksgiving, if you ask me!
Gotta love the combo of mashed potatoes and cauliflower. Plain non-dairy yogurt gives them perfect tang and Cajun seasonings add a little kick!
Instead of stuffing, why not shake things up this year with a warm panzanella salad? It's easy to prepare and features Brussels sprouts, kale, sourdough, and pomegranate.
Similar to pecan pie but with walnuts, my vegan take on this Southern dessert is sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar and includes a touch of pumpkin spice.

Hi Reader, I have really easy new cookie recipe to share with you today. Actually, it's two recipes in one, both using powdered peanut butter. 🥜 One is soft and chewy, low in fat, and made with oats + a touch of banana. They're delicious plain or with chocolate chips or raisins! The other version is richer, nuttier, and made with almond flour. Peanut Butter Powder Cookies 2 Ways Both are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and call for just a handful of wholesome ingredients. Only 1 bowl, too! Get...
Hi Reader, Though I've never been much for superstitions – or tradition, for that matter! – when you grow up in the South, eating black eyed peas on New Year's Day is a given. But why kick off the year with plain black eyed peas when it's so easy to make ROCKSTAR B.E.P.s instead? 🙌 A few tasty additions like dried herbs and spices, onion, garlic, and canned tomatoes make these so good no one will ever miss the ham hock. I like to cook black eyed peas in the Instant Pot, but if you don't have...
Hi Reader, Do you like harissa? 🌶️ I sure do! When most people think of harissa (affiliate link), they probably think of harissa paste, but I find myself using the dry spice blend (affiliate link) much more often. I like that it keeps longer than harissa paste, and it's just so easy to incorporate into dishes anytime you want a boost of that earthy and lightly smoky+spicy flavor. One Pot Harissa Quinoa Though harissa originated in Tunisia, it's also popular in Moroccan cuisine. Here I paired...
