This Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas and Maple Tahini Dressing would be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving menu. Call me crazy, but it is the type of dish to which I am most drawn on this holiday of beige food. I have nothing against beige food, per se — I love silky mashed…

Spiced Pumpkin Snack Cake with Vegan Maple Cream Cheese Frosting – Gluten-free + Dairy-free
Hello! I’m casually popping in the day before Thanksgiving to share this pumpkin cake with you. Because with a toddler and a newborn, that is how I operate these days — last-minute and slightly frazzled. If you’re in need of a last minute T-day dessert, let this be a contender. It is quick and foolproof,…
Roasted Cauliflower Salad + Radicchio, Meyer Lemon and Crispy Capers
How, oh how is Christmas next week? Once again the season is coming and going all too rapidly for my liking.

Baked apple oatmeal with crunchy nut topping + vegan caramel drizzle
This baked oatmeal is like the dressed up weekend version of my favorite weekday oatmeal. I have some sort of oatmeal or porridge every day during the week, so when the weekend comes around I usually favor eggs or pancakes. Something that feels a bit more special and celebrates the fact that it is in…
Chewy Triple-Ginger Molasses Cookies
It’s cookie baking season — the most wonderful time of the year, indeed! As the end of November draws near, I go into full on baking mode. Ideally, my oven is on at all times. Even more ideally, cooking up something sweet and festive. Funny enough, I’m actually not that big of a sweets person,…
Cranberry Cardamom Spelt Loaf + Orange and Vanilla-bean Glaze
I love Thanksgiving morning. I think I quite prefer it to the main event. I simply love the coziness of it – the sheer joy of lazing around in your pajamas on a Thursday morning, idly watching the parade and looking forward to an entire day centered on eating and being with family. What could…
Apple Crisp with Ghee + Almond Butter – naturally sweetened
This apple crisp has incredible depth of flavor and layered texture. If you could smell its divine aroma through your screen, you would already be in your kitchen baking this by now. The rosy apples, warming spices, buttery ghee, nutty almonds and hints of lemon and orange combine to swoon-inducing smell and flavor. The recipe…
