[askwhatsforlunch]

Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche (Vegetarian)

Leftover Roasted Cauliflower and Garden Leeks make a hearty, fragrant and vibrant Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche, a tasty picnic if you're on your way home from a long weekend! Happy Monday!

Ingredients (serves 4 to 8)

2 large Garden Leeks

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

½ tablespoon olive oil

450 grams/1 pound chilled Pâte Brisée

6 large eggs

¾ cup crème fraîche or sour cream

¼ cup semi-skimmed milk

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

3/4 cup to a cup leftover Turmeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower

Thoroughly rinse Garden Leeks under cold water, removing any dirt.

Melt butter with olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut Leeks into thick slices and add them to the skillet. Cover with the lid, and cook, 5 minutes. Flip leek slices on the other side, cover with the lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, a further 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Roll Pâte Brisée out thinly onto a lightly floured surface. Fit into a buttered 26cm/10.25″ tart pan, letting the pastry overhang on the edges. Prick the base with a fork. Place a sheet of baking paper onto the Pâte Brisée and fill with dried beans or rice. Blind bake the Pâte Brisée crust  at 200°C/395°F, 10 minutes. Carefully remove the beans and baking paper, and bake another 5 minutes, at the same temperature. Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly before trimming the edges.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with crème fraîche. Whisk in milk, salt and black pepper. Stir in Garam Masala and turmeric.

Arrange cooled Leeks onto the tart crust. Cut Roasted Cauliflower into chunks, and scatter them liberally on top. Pour egg and cream mixture evenly all over.

Place in the warm oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crust is beautifully golden brown.

Serve Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche warm or cold, with dressed lettuce.

Simple Seasonal Eating Guide for Families

Simple Seasonal Eating Guide for Families

Table of Contents[Hide][Show]

I’m always looking for easy ways to improve my family’s health and seasonal eating is one of the best. We don’t drive ourselves crazy over it but try to enjoy dreaming up recipes based on what’s at the farmer’s market or in the garden. And it’s not as hard as it seems! Seasonal eating comes naturally when you simply change your mindset and get in touch with where your food comes from.

Why Eat Seasonally?

Eating seasonally has many benefits:

Taste – In-season produce is often much tastier than out of season produce because it doesn’t have to be shipped as far (or at all) and can ripen for longer on the plant.

Health – For the same reason that in-season produce tastes better, it’s also generally higher in nutrients.

Support Local Economy – Eating in-season means you can support the local economy and your local food growers by buying from local farmers instead of the grocery store.

Cost – Eating seasonally also means you’re buying food when it’s least expensive, saving on your grocery bill.

Because I keep a garden, seasonal eating is a necessity. But it’s also a lot of fun to find what’s coming into season in the grocery store or farmer’s market and figure out how to use those items.

How to Eat Seasonally (& Have Fun Doing It)

Moms are often already stretched thin, so adding one more thing to the to-do list can be very overwhelming. Luckily seasonal eating doesn’t have to be another to-do list item. It can be a fun addition to a healthy lifestyle.

Here’s how:

Have a Plan

Having a plan for using seasonal produce is important. If you don’t normally meal plan, now might be a good time to start. I use Real Plans to plan out my family’s weekly meals. It’s much simpler than doing it myself and Real Plans automatically serves up seasonal recipes!

Think Differently

To start eating seasonally you’ll have to change your mindset a bit. Instead of eating blueberries every other week throughout the year you’ll have to find interesting ways to use them in the summer when they’re in season (or frozen ones at other times).

Don’t Overcomplicate

When it comes to finding seasonal recipes for the produce you’re growing or buying locally, keep it simple. Don’t try to cook complicated dishes before you’re comfortable with using certain ingredients together. Stick with simple recipes and build your skills and knowledge base slowly.

What to Do With Seasonal Produce

Once you start to buy produce seasonally, you’ll realize that you end up with a lot of one thing at a time.

Here are some ideas for dealing with large amounts of seasonal produce:

Learn to preserve – If you can buy or grow lots of tomatoes in the summer, learn to can or freeze them for the winter. Do the same for other produce you find in-season. If canning isn’t your jam (pun intended), try pickling, freezing, drying, or fermenting to extend the life of in-season foods.

Adjust to eating more when it’s fresh – We tend to eat the foods we like at regular intervals all year. But seasonal eating asks us to eat a lot of one item when it’s fresh (and little or none at other times of the year). That means we might eat lots of berries in the summer, but stick with citrus fruits in the winter.

Bake with the extra – Another option is to make sweet breads, muffins, casseroles, and quiches with whatever you have a lot of and freeze those for later.

When I get a large harvest from my garden or the farmer’s market I do all three of these things! It gives the kids something to look forward to (all the strawberries you can eat in June!) and adds routine to the year.

What’s in Season Now?

What produce is in season depends on where you live in the world. The easiest way to know what’s in season is to go to your local farm or farmer’s market and see what they are producing. You can also check a state-by-state seasonal food guide.

But local foods are not the only in-season foods. Foods that travel from other climates also have a season.

For example, most Americans can’t buy local citrus fruits, but the winter is the best time to get them at their freshest and lowest price. Here’s what to look for at the grocery store or farmer’s market for the freshest produce year-round:

January

For most people, January is a time of rest and reflection. The garden has long been put to bed and the season calls for warm soups and stews as well as lots of starchy vegetables. Here’s what’s in season in January:

Foods with few carbohydrates are what you can eat in the ketogenic diet, high in fat, and often used to lose weight.

 Notwithstanding these values, if you suffer from diabetes mellitus you should take into account when preparing your meal, in addition to the grams of carbohydrates that each of the foods have, also the glycemic index (GI).

 Glycemic food index (GI). Good and bad carbohydrates

The glycemic index measures the intensity and speed with which foods containing carbohydrates raise the level of glucose in the blood (glycemia) after ingestion.

Consequently, foods with a high glycemic index raise blood glucose faster than others with a low glycemic index.

 For example, whole wheat bread will have a lower GI than white bread, or pastries, which have it higher.

Diabetics should eat foods with a low glycemic index and only occasionally, better not daily, can ingest those of medium GI for what these lists will be useful, accompanied by the corresponding suggestions of their specialist (doctor or nutritionist).

Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Looking for some vegan deliciousness for your feast? This amazing collection of over 80(!) vegan Thanksgiving recipes has everything you need for an amazing plant-based holiday meal.

It’s time to start planning! Every year since I started blogging I’ve put together one of these little collections of Vegan Thanksgiving recipes. Usually I slack off and post it right before the holiday.

This year I got my act together and I’m here with plenty of time to spare with all the vegan Thanksgiving deliciousness you can handle.

I’ve got more Thanksgiving recipes on the way, and I’ll continue to add them as the holiday approaches, so check back from time to time as you put your menu together.

And to make this list easy to navigate, here’s an index! Click on any of the headings in the index to jump right to that section of the round-up.

And on to the list!

Appetizers

It wouldn’t be a party without some pre-dinner snacks! Keep your guests happy before the big meal with any of these vegan dips, cheeses and finger foods.

Vegan Dips & Cheeses

Dips are always a crowd-pleaser! Keep it simple with some hummus, or go adventurous with a vegan cheese and some crackers or bread.

Maple Dijon Vegan Cheese Ball

Finger Foods

Tempeh Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

Vegan Mini Spinach Quiches

Mushroom Crostini with Herbed Cashew Cheese

Sweet Potato Latkes with Spiked Apple Sauce

Soups

A warm and cozy bowl of soup is the perfect way to start a meal when it’s cold outside. Go traditional with a squash or veggie based soup, or really impress your guests with one of the super-decadent creamy soups lower down on the list.

Squash Soups

Squash soups get their very own category when it comes to Thanksgiving recipes.

Red Lentil Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Croutons

Miso Kabocha Squash Soup with Maple Roasted Walnuts

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Bisque with Maple Cinnamon Tempeh Croutons

Veggie Soups

I really like starting my Thanksgiving dinner with a veggie-packed soup. It helps to get something nutritious into my belly and prevents me from overdoing it later on when the main meal is served.

Quinoa & Lentil Cabbage Roll Soup

Rosemary, Red Bean & Kale Soup

Chai-Spiced Apple Sweet Potato Soup

Creamy Soups

Since Thanksgiving is in fact a once a year meal, it’s totally understandable that you may want to indulge in a thick and creamy bowl of soup. The good news is that all of these are made without dairy! Most are cashew-based, but if you’re looking for a nut-free soup try the Creamy Mushroom & Wild Rice or the Roasted Garlic Potato Leek Soup.

Creamy Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup

Creamy Kale Soup with Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Creamy Vegan Mushroom & Barley Soup

Roasted Garlic Potato Leek Soup

Creamy Vegan Potato Soup with Kale and Smoked Almonds

Super Simple Vegan Gravy

Whiskey Mushroom Gravy

Veggies

You’ve got to at least include some veggies in your feast. Serve the Dijon Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and they just might be the first thing on the table to disappear.

Everyone craves pie on Thanksgiving, so I highly recommend putting at least one of these on the menu. I even have a homemade vegan pie crust recipe that works with any of these pies.

Chai-Spiced Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie

Vegan Apple Pie

Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Festive (and Delicious!) Vegan Cakes

If pie is the number one traditional Thanksgiving dessert, cake has to come in a close second. These are a few of my most festive cake recipes on the blog, so they’re perfect for holiday celebrations.

Vegan Mocha Layer Cake

Vegan Carrot Cake with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting

Vegan Spice Cake

Mulled Wine Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange Ganache Frosting

Rosemary Lemon Vegan Pound Cake

The Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Cake

Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Vegan Pumpkin Gingersnap Tiramisu

With all that vegan food you just cooked, you’re bound to have more leftovers than you know what to do with. Hopefully this will help!

Some Healthyish Ideas for the New Year

…And we’re back! Happy 2020!! Sorry for the long hiatus—whew, it’s been busy—what with catching up with family, getting our house ready for the Big Sell, dealing with a lovely little bout of strep throat on New Year’s Eve (ugh!), and returning a certain someone to college, but it’s back to business now. Missed you guys!!

How do you feel about resolutions? I’m all for self improvement (lord knows I need some) but in terms of foodie ones, I just can’t get behind any really restrictive diets, like the very popular intermittent fasting fad or something like Whole 30, where I can’t have any sugar😂😂. Don’t mean to knock them if they work for you, but for me, dealing with the post-holiday decadence, is more about returning to good, clean, low-carbish foods.

So that’s what I’ve got for you today-a list of some of my tried and true favorites over the years for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks that keep me happy, healthy and hopefully lighter too!

Here’s hoping they help you achieve whatever goals you’ve set!

BREAKFAST

These are more for the weekend— most weekdays, I just eat a couple of eggs or some yogurt with fruit

Caprese Eggs

Baked Eggs with Tomatoes, Basil and Parmesan

Creme Brûlée Yogurt Parfait

LUNCH & SNACKS

I generally work from home, so for lunch, I’ll just heat up a cup of soup (I generally make the zucchini one once a week) or reheat leftovers, but all of these would work well if you need to go the brown bag route. Plus a cup of soup or a little bowl of one of the salads makes a great late-afternoon snack!

Light and Easy Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

Skinny Cream of Zucchini Soup

Easy Rustic Greek Chicken and Lemon Soup

The Big Chopped Salad

Chickpea Lunch Salad

Roasted Cauliflower Salad

Sesame Chicken Salad

Anytime of the Day Veggie Frittata

Crustless Leek and Swiss/Gruyere Quiche

DINNER

All of these are heavy on the veggies with lean protein. Another thing I’ll do when I’m short on time, is to make a big very simple salad and either top it with roasted veggies and/or a fried egg or two. The mix of the hot topping with the cold salad is a big time winner!!

Thai Steak Salad with Chile-Lime Dressing

Noodle-Free Soy Glazed Beef, Green Beans and Bean Sprouts

One-Pot Vinegar Chicken with Onions and Roasted Mushrooms

Chicken, Pepper and Onion Lettuce Wraps

Cashew Chicken and Veggies

Baked Coconut Chicken and Arugula Salad

One Pan Roast Chicken Meal

Spicy Seared Green Beans

Crispy Shredded Veggies

Balsamic Roasted Vegetables

Easy Lemony Caramelized Brussels Sprouts

Sautéed Sugar Snap Peas

DESSERT

I am a huge believer in having a little bit of dessert every day. If I go cold turkey, I’m more apt to binge but if I know I can have a little something when I’m being “good”, then all is right with the world. Usually, it’s just a handful of dark chocolate chips but sometimes it’s one of these graham crackers or this chocolate sorbet. It’s all about the balance or at least that’s what I keep telling myself!!

cabbage and mushroom “lasagna”

In July, because I make no sense at all, I decided to knock an item off my To Cook list that’s been there since 2010, a golden, bubbling, layered dish of mushrooms, cabbage, thinly sliced potatoes bound with a bechamel sauce and topped with cheese. Talk about beach eats!

But a craving is a craving and I made it with the thought that we could try it, then freeze the rest until that whole December – January zone when the sun sets at approximately 3:32pm and the only way to endure it is to channel some Scandinavian coziness and make it, like, fashion. Candles! Thick sweaters! Tea, a good book, and soft music. Long-cooked winter vegetables snug in a rich casserole.

Instead, over a few days we finished the whole thing because it’s completely amazing. The recipe comes from the Marcus Jernmark, the Swedish chef who, at the time, helmed Aquavit, a high-end Scandinavian restaurant in midtown. The recipe made its way into a column by Elaine Louie that briefly ran in the New York Times called “The Temporary Vegetarian” that I followed with devotion. It’s not like a decade ago was dark times for vegetarians, but this column had a freshness to it, focusing on vegetable-forward and varied dishes with home cooks in mind, a few years before its time. (It later became a book).

Jernmark explained that in the fall in Sweden, they eat cabbage, kale, and mushrooms, and he wanted to turn them into a seasonal, homey take on lasagna. Because I’m a pedant, I’m not entirely sold on the name. It seems as much a potato and vegetable gratin as anything else but I’m leaving it because it’s layered, and I have a thing for lasagnas outside the red sauce and ricotta cheese box, anyway.

It’s a bit of work, as can happen when three vegetables and a sauce are involved, but it’s honestly the perfect dish for laying low on a cold weekend: lush but not as nap-inducing as pasta-ed versions. And it’s excellent. The photos don’t do it justice, but it’s cooked cabbage, guys. It’s doing its best.

There are three key things to know going into this dish:

Seasoning is really key here. It’s winter vegetables, butter, milk, and cheese; it will not naturally boom with flavor. Make sure every element is gets the necessary salt and pepper and it will add up to something wonderful.

I found mine got a little watery as it baked, because cabbage is watery. You can baste a little out, if you wish, or you can just let it go. As it cools, most will settle back around the vegetables and it shouldn’t seem too wet.

I almost didn’t share this recipe because it’s got a bunch of steps, and a lot of vegetables to chop (the dish is all vegetables, after all), and thought nobody would want to make it, but it’s too delicious not to. So do as I do, put on your headphones, queue up The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, try to get your head around the fact that it’s now 20 years old, and you’ll be done before Mary J. Blige shows up.

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

2 2/3 cups whole or lowfat milk

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Salt and ground black pepper

1 medium onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 pound assorted (shiitake, oyster, porcini, chanterelles, etc.) or just cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage (I used less)

2 pounds Napa cabbage, 12 large leaves removed from the head, and reserved, the remainder sliced thin

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 1/2 pounds (about 4) yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or Västerbotten (the chef’s preference).

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter. Add flour, stir for 3 minutes (do not allow to brown), then gradually whisk in milk, stirring until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Scrape sauce into a bowl, and reserve.

Wipe out sauté pan (rinse if needed) and melt 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent. Add mushrooms, sage and sliced cabbage, and sauté until fragrant and the cabbage is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add wine and sauté until it has evaporated. Add reserved sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. The mixture should be very thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

While the mushroom and cabbage mixture is simmering, pour 6 cups of water into a stock pot, and bring to a boil. Add whole cabbage leaves, and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain under cold water, and pat dry on towels.

Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or a lasagna pan of your choice (I used this) with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

To assemble the lasagna, line the bottom of the dish with half the cabbage leaves, and top with half the potatoes, half the creamed mushrooms. Repeat the layering of cabbage, potatoes and mushrooms, and top with grated cheese. Cover snugly with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the top is golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes but up to 10 minutes longer if needed. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, and serve.

Do ahead: I prepared the sauce and all of the vegetables and then ran out of time when I made this, stashing them in the fridge separately and baking it the next day, which works totally fine. You can also make the dish, chill it, and bake it when needed, and leftovers reheat well too. Finally, you could freeze the whole dish for a later date.

Here are 16 ideas for healthy, tasty and season-approved soup recipes:

1. Simple Pumpkin Soup >

It lives up to its name in the prep department: bring broth, pumpkin puree, ground ginger, curry powder and other yummy seasonings to a boil, simmer for a little, stir in milk, simmer some more and done. With its rich pumpkin taste and creamy texture, this no-fuss recipe is the perfect pick when you’re craving the quintessential flavors of fall. For a version with a little extra kick, try Spicy Pumpkin Soup >—which works peppers, onions and the Nutrisystem White Bean Chicken Chili into the recipe. Need to grab some of the Nutrisystem White Bean Chili? Get it here! >

2. Italian Chicken and Fall Veggie Soup > 

Butternut squash and turnips—it’s in there. Carrots and kale—yup, those are in there, too—providing all their vitamins and minerals. You’ll also find shredded roasted chicken, tomato paste, red pepper flakes and tons of Italian seasoning. But wait, there’s more: whole-wheat gnocchi adds an extra Italian flair to this super healthy and hearty soup. Make this your flex lunch on a cool afternoon, and count it as one SmartCarb, one PowerFuel, one Vegetable and two Extras.

3. Zesty Tomato Soup >

With a few cans of diced tomatoes, a few cups of veggie broth, onions and garlic, you can whip up a big pot of this all-time favorite to enjoy throughout the week or freeze and save for a busy day. Almond milk thickens up this soup, bay leaves enhance the flavor, and chopped basil on top serves as a tasty (and oh-so-pretty) garnish.

4. 5-Ingredient Chicken “Noodle” Soup >

The “noodle” is actually spaghetti squash, cooked and scraped into pasta-like strands to save on carbs. Low-sodium broth helps cut salt. Chicken adds protein, carrots boost nutrients, and fresh thyme brings more flavor. Five simple ingredients make for the perfect side of soup to any Nutrisystem meal. For another slimmed-down take on this comfort classic, try the Skinny Chicken Noodle Soup. >

5. Veggie Lover’s Risotto Soup >

A handful of extra veggies transforms the Nutrisystem Mushroom Risotto entrée into a delectable soup fit for fall. Zucchini, baby bell mushrooms, kale and a can of diced tomatoes mesh beautifully with the savory vegetarian sausage, shitake mushrooms, red bell peppers and pinch of parmesan to create a flavorful spin on a rice and vegetable dish.

6. Creamy Butternut Squash Soup >

Plan to make an extra-large batch of this one: with its smooth texture and the rich, sweet flavor of squash, your family will sample this cold-weather favorite right out of the pot. It’s creamy (without any actual cream), and the carrots and onions add flavor without any bad fat, making this a healthy meal you can enjoy all winter long. 

7. Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup >

It’s got the traditional ingredients right down to the potatoes, cabbage, carrots and celery which all pair nicely with lean beef; and the leeks, garlic and thyme season the broth into the perfect base for this hearty—but much healthier—version of Irish pub fare.

8. Sour Cream & Dill Chicken Noodle Soup >

When you’re short on time but craving comfort food, Nutrisystem has you covered with its Chicken Noodle Soup. Thick noodles and chunks of tender chicken in a tasty soup broth are ready in minutes. Then stir in non-fat sour cream and top with a pinch of dill for a new flavor in no time. Need to order some Nutrisystem Chicken Noodle Soup? Grab it here! >

9. Veggie Summer Stew >

Garden variety vegetables give it its name, but this stew can be enjoyed in the winter, spring and fall, too. Big chunks of zucchini and squash alongside diced carrots, tomatoes and red bell peppers give you pops of color and lots of nutrients in every spoonful. The fiber-filled white beans help satisfy your hungry belly, while onions and seasonings please your palate.

10. Cauliflower Sweet Potato Soup >

Two powerhouse veggies join forces to bring you one satisfying soup that’s high in vitamin C, low in calories and loaded with health-boosting nutrients. The cauliflower and sweet potato combo simmer in a broth with garlic, onions, paprika, coriander, cumin and ginger to create a flavorful side to your lunch or dinner. Each one-cup serving is only 127 calories.

The added ingredients pump more than 12 grams of muscle-building protein into the soup, and chili powder and cayenne heat up the seasoning. Top it all with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese and you’ve got a new, healthy twist on an autumn standard.

13. Loaded Potato Soup >

It doesn’t get much easier than this: take a Nutrisystem Loaded Potato lunch, add some skim milk, chicken broth, spinach and spices and voila—potato soup for only 315 calories. If you’re Nutrisystem, a one-cup serving counts as one lunch, one PowerFuel and ½ Vegetable. Grab Nutrisystem Loaded Potato lunch right here! >

14. 5-Ingredient “Cheezy” Cauliflower Soup >

Cauliflower is one of those all-around excellent vegetables. It’s got lots of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K and folate; it’s less dense than potatoes and makes a great replacement for rice; and it’s an unlimited non-starchy vegetable on the Nutrisystem plan. In this tasty soup recipe, cauliflower cooks alongside leeks and garlic in chicken broth until tender; then it’s mixed with nutrient-packed nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste. Enjoy the soup with lean meat for a light flex lunch.

15. Kitchen Sink Veggie Soup >

It’s got a little bit of everything, as the name implies—spinach and tomatoes, celery and carrots, onions and garlic. Also in there: pearl barley to add heartiness and Italian seasoning for extra flavor. Consider this comfort in a bowl.

16. Tropical Gazpacho Soup >

The cold, tasty soup is so packed with fresh flavors, you’ll want to dive your spoon in—no matter the weather! Pineapple, mango and colorful peppers offer up lots of vitamins, and red onions, cilantro and lime enhance the taste of this season-less soup. Want to try another slurp-worthy Gazpacho?

Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Looking for some vegan deliciousness for your feast? This amazing collection of over 80(!) vegan Thanksgiving recipes has everything you need for an amazing plant-based holiday meal.

It’s time to start planning! Every year since I started blogging I’ve put together one of these little collections of Vegan Thanksgiving recipes. Usually I slack off and post it right before the holiday.

This year I got my act together and I’m here with plenty of time to spare with all the vegan Thanksgiving deliciousness you can handle.

I’ve got more Thanksgiving recipes on the way, and I’ll continue to add them as the holiday approaches, so check back from time to time as you put your menu together.

And to make this list easy to navigate, here’s an index! Click on any of the headings in the index to jump right to that section of the round-up.

And on to the list!

Appetizers

It wouldn’t be a party without some pre-dinner snacks! Keep your guests happy before the big meal with any of these vegan dips, cheeses and finger foods.

Vegan Dips & Cheeses

Dips are always a crowd-pleaser! Keep it simple with some hummus, or go adventurous with a vegan cheese and some crackers or bread.

Soups

A warm and cozy bowl of soup is the perfect way to start a meal when it’s cold outside. Go traditional with a squash or veggie based soup, or really impress your guests with one of the super-decadent creamy soups lower down on the list.

Squash Soups

Squash soups get their very own category when it comes to Thanksgiving recipes.

Red Lentil Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Croutons

Miso Kabocha Squash Soup with Maple Roasted Walnuts

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Bisque with Maple Cinnamon Tempeh Croutons

Veggie Soups

I really like starting my Thanksgiving dinner with a veggie-packed soup. It helps to get something nutritious into my belly and prevents me from overdoing it later on when the main meal is served.

Quinoa & Lentil Cabbage Roll Soup

Rosemary, Red Bean & Kale Soup

Chai-Spiced Apple Sweet Potato Soup

Creamy Soups

Since Thanksgiving is in fact a once a year meal, it’s totally understandable that you may want to indulge in a thick and creamy bowl of soup. The good news is that all of these are made without dairy! Most are cashew-based, but if you’re looking for a nut-free soup try the Creamy Mushroom & Wild Rice or the Roasted Garlic Potato Leek Soup.

Vegan Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Mushroom Gravy

Crispy Tofu Steaks with Caramelized Onion Gravy

Creamy Vegan Mushroom Risotto

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Vegan Roasted Garlic & Dill Mashed Red Potatoes

Super Simple Vegan Gravy

Whiskey Mushroom Gravy

Veggies

You’ve got to at least include some veggies in your feast. Serve the Dijon Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and they just might be the first thing on the table to disappear.

Dijon Brussels Sprouts

Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash with Coconut Bacon

Wild Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms & Pecans

Butternut Squash Jeweled Rice

Tempeh Sausage & Kale Stuffing

Vegan Cornbread

Rosemary Pumpkin Biscuits

The Best Vegan Stuffing

Desserts

Dessert is my favorite course to wow everyone with. There so many vegan sweets that are super decadent and nobody would ever guess they were made without eggs or dairy! For a traditional feast, choose one of the pie recipes, or for something different serve up some Thanksgiving doughnuts.

Vegan Pies

Everyone craves pie on Thanksgiving, so I highly recommend putting at least one of these on the menu. I even have a homemade vegan pie crust recipe that works with any of these pies.

Chai-Spiced Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie

Vegan Apple Pie

Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Festive (and Delicious!) Vegan Cakes

If pie is the number one traditional Thanksgiving dessert, cake has to come in a close second. These are a few of my most festive cake recipes on the blog, so they’re perfect for holiday celebrations.

Vegan Carrot Cake with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting

Vegan Spice Cake

Mulled Wine Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange Ganache Frosting

Vegan Mocha Swirl Cheesecake

Caramel Apple Vegan No-Bake Cheesecake

Chai Golden Milk Doughnuts

Vegan Gingerbread Doughnuts with Apple Cider Glaze

Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Vegan Pumpkin Gingersnap Tiramisu

Leftovers

With all that vegan food you just cooked, you’re bound to have more leftovers than you know what to do with. Hopefully this will help!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Looking for some vegan deliciousness for your feast? This amazing collection of over 80(!) vegan Thanksgiving recipes has everything you need for an amazing plant-based holiday meal.

It’s time to start planning! Every year since I started blogging I’ve put together one of these little collections of Vegan Thanksgiving recipes. Usually I slack off and post it right before the holiday.

This year I got my act together and I’m here with plenty of time to spare with all the vegan Thanksgiving deliciousness you can handle.

I’ve got more Thanksgiving recipes on the way, and I’ll continue to add them as the holiday approaches, so check back from time to time as you put your menu together.

And to make this list easy to navigate, here’s an index! Click on any of the headings in the index to jump right to that section of the round-up.

And on to the list!

Appetizers

It wouldn’t be a party without some pre-dinner snacks! Keep your guests happy before the big meal with any of these vegan dips, cheeses and finger foods.

Vegan Dips & Cheeses

Dips are always a crowd-pleaser! Keep it simple with some hummus, or go adventurous with a vegan cheese and some crackers or bread.

Maple Dijon Vegan Cheese Ball

Caramelized Onion Hummus

Vegan Swiss Cheese Fondue

Cashew Camembert

Sweet, Smoky and Savory Butternut Squash Hummus

Finger Foods

These little nibbles are just as cute as they are delicious.

Tempeh Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms

Vegan Mini Spinach Quiches

Mushroom Crostini with Herbed Cashew Cheese

Sweet Potato Latkes with Spiked Apple Sauce

Soups

A warm and cozy bowl of soup is the perfect way to start a meal when it’s cold outside. Go traditional with a squash or veggie based soup, or really impress your guests with one of the super-decadent creamy soups lower down on the list.

Squash Soups

Squash soups get their very own category when it comes to Thanksgiving recipes.

Red Lentil Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Croutons

Miso Kabocha Squash Soup with Maple Roasted Walnuts

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Bisque with Maple Cinnamon Tempeh Croutons

Veggie Soups

I really like starting my Thanksgiving dinner with a veggie-packed soup. It helps to get something nutritious into my belly and prevents me from overdoing it later on when the main meal is served.

Quinoa & Lentil Cabbage Roll Soup

Rosemary, Red Bean & Kale Soup

Chai-Spiced Apple Sweet Potato Soup

Creamy Soups

Since Thanksgiving is in fact a once a year meal, it’s totally understandable that you may want to indulge in a thick and creamy bowl of soup. The good news is that all of these are made without dairy! Most are cashew-based, but if you’re looking for a nut-free soup try the Creamy Mushroom & Wild Rice or the Roasted Garlic Potato Leek Soup.

Creamy Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup

Creamy Kale Soup with Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Creamy Vegan Mushroom & Barley Soup

Roasted Garlic Potato Leek Soup

Vegan Cheddar Beer Soup

Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup

Creamy Vegan Potato Soup with Kale and Smoked Almonds

Main Dishes

Savory Pies

What’s the best way to ensure zero complaints about serving a meatless main dish? Put it in a pie! Seriously, have you ever heard anyone complain about having to eat pie? I didn’t think so!

Chickpea Ragout Pot Pie

Spinach & Mushroom Vegan Puff Pastry Quiches

Vegan Loaves

I only have a few loaf recipes (so far), but they’re all pretty killer. For something traditional(ish) try the (Almost) Classic Chickpea Meatloaf. The Mushroom Dill Red Lentil Roast is perfect if you’d like something adventurous.

(Almost) Classic Chickpea Vegan Meatloaf

Mushroom Dill Red Lentil Roast

Italian-Style Vegan Meatloaf Muffins

Holiday-Worthy Pastas

What makes a pasta dish holiday-worthy? It has to be super hearty, with cheesy (vegan) filling or creamy sauce, and bold flavors. All of these pastas fit the bill!

Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

Vegan Stuffed Shells Florentine

Pea Pesto Stuffed Shells

Vegan Gnocchi with Creamy Lemon Garlic Sauce

Eggplant Bourguignon

Wild Mushroom Ragu with Creamy Polenta

Vegan Rosemary Chicklins & Dumplings Stew

Portobello Mushroom Beef Stew

Veggie-Based Mains

The trick to creating a perfect holiday main dish around vegetables? Use super hearty veggies like portobello mushrooms, winter squash, eggplant and cauliflower!

Vegan Thanksgiving Main Dishes That Defy Categorization

I have a few dishes that just don’t fit in any of the main dish categories I listed above, but I couldn’t possibly leave them out.

Vegan Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Mushroom Gravy

Crispy Tofu Steaks with Caramelized Onion Gravy

Creamy Vegan Mushroom Risotto

Vegan Vegetable Wellington

Butternut Squash Risotto

Sides

Sides are where it’s at. I could create a vegan Thanksgiving dinner from sides alone (and for years I did just that).

Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes

No holiday feast would be complete without spuds, and these dishes prove that you don’t need dairy to create a scrumptious and decadent potato-based side dish!

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Cheesy Vegan Cornflake Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble Topping

Vegan Roasted Garlic & Dill Mashed Red Potatoes

Marshmallow Topped Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole

Truffled Mashed Potatoes

Vegan Brûléed Sweet Potatoes

Vegan Gravy

For years I ate naked mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving, and that’s just wrong. Especially since vegan gravy is so easy to make! I’ve just got two recipes at this point, but both are easy and scrumptious enough to please vegans and omnivores alike.

Super Simple Vegan Gravy

Whiskey Mushroom Gravy

Veggies

You’ve got to at least include some veggies in your feast. Serve the Dijon Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and they just might be the first thing on the table to disappear.

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Dijon Brussels Sprouts

Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash with Coconut Bacon

Vegan Broccoli Cheese Casserole

Apple Cider Tahini Slaw

Creamy Vegan Kale

Cranberries

It’s time to ditch the canned cranberry sauce. These vegan cranberry dishes are easy and a thousand times more delicious.

Orange Cranberry Crisp

Spicy Cranberry Apple Sauce

Spiced Wine Cranberry Sauce

Other Vegan Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Stuffing, muffins, biscuits, bread, and rice! If your meal still doesn’t seem complete, round it out with one or two of these.

Wild Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms & Pecans

Butternut Squash Jeweled Rice

Tempeh Sausage & Kale Stuffing

Vegan Cornbread

Rosemary Pumpkin Biscuits

The Best Vegan Stuffing

Vegan Corny Corn Muffins

Desserts

Dessert is my favorite course to wow everyone with. There so many vegan sweets that are super decadent and nobody would ever guess they were made without eggs or dairy! For a traditional feast, choose one of the pie recipes, or for something different serve up some Thanksgiving doughnuts.

Vegan Pies

Everyone craves pie on Thanksgiving, so I highly recommend putting at least one of these on the menu. I even have a homemade vegan pie crust recipe that works with any of these pies.

Chai-Spiced Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie

Vegan Apple Pie

Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Festive (and Delicious!) Vegan Cakes

If pie is the number one traditional Thanksgiving dessert, cake has to come in a close second. These are a few of my most festive cake recipes on the blog, so they’re perfect for holiday celebrations.

Vegan Mocha Layer Cake

Vegan Carrot Cake with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting

Vegan Spice Cake

Mulled Wine Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange Ganache Frosting

Rosemary Lemon Vegan Pound Cake

The Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Cake

Vegan Pumpkin Muffins with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting

Vegan Cheesecakes

Dairy-free cheesecake is a thing, and I’ve used it to fool many non-vegans. These vegan cheesecakes will have everyone at your table asking for the recipe.

Vegan Mocha Swirl Cheesecake

Caramel Apple Vegan No-Bake Cheesecake

Mini Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crusts

Doughnuts

Yup, I made a doughnuts category on my Thanksgiving page! I realized I was accumulating quite a few fall-inspired doughnut recipes that work perfectly for the holiday meal.

Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts

Chai Golden Milk Doughnuts

Salted Caramel Glazed Doughnuts

Vegan Gingerbread Doughnuts with Apple Cider Glaze

Other Vegan Thanksgiving Desserts

I couldn’t leave out the Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies or the Pumpkin Gingersnap Tiramisu, so I gave them their own category. I’ll keep adding a new oddball vegan Thanksgiving desserts to this one as they come up.

Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Vegan Pumpkin Gingersnap Tiramisu

Leftovers

With all that vegan food you just cooked, you’re bound to have more leftovers than you know what to do with. Hopefully this will help!
