Recipes

Fall at the Farmer’s market brings some of the most lovely colors and foods. Sweet potato, pumpkin, squash, asparagus, and so many more delicious staples. Eating clean nutritious food for Thanksgiving will make most people gasp, but if you want to break the tradition of being rolled into bed after dinner, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve compiled 22 recipes from the “blog-o-sphere” that I have personally prepared over the years that will be easy, healthy, and tasty options to serve this year.

What I love: She’s got a knack for food photography. Her photos are spectacular!

What you need:
1 sweet potato, oven-baked/slit down middle
1/2 cup vegan refried beans (spicy flavor for me)
1/3 cup mushroom quinoa (basic quinoa tossed with sauteed shiitake mushrooms + optional nutritional yeast)
1/4 cup marinated kale salad (recipe below)
2 Tbsp vegan chipotle sweet potato sauce (recipe below)
chopped chives
pepper to taste

Get to it:

Directions for stuffing potatoes: Simply pile on the toppings! Sticky or heavy items are best layered first. For the loaded potato I did beans, quinoa, salad, dressing, chives/pepper on top.

Kale Salad
2 cups kale, chopped
1 tomato, diced
2 Tbsp sliced almonds
2 scallions, chopped
tossed in Miso Dressing

Chipotle Sweet Potato Sauce
1 Tbsp baked sweet potato (scoop from potato)
1 Tbsp vegan mayo (Vegenaise)
a few dashes chipotle powder
1 tsp maple or agave syrup
(thin out with a splash of liquid if desired – water, vinegar, oil works)
