APPETIZER
ENTRÉE
Sweet roasted butternut squash pairs beautifully with earthy sage to make this soulful, comforting risotto. Pureeing and folding in the roasted bulb of squash gives the risotto a rich depth of flavor, creamy texture, and beautiful golden-orange hue.
DRINK
Impress your guests with this cool-weather cocktail. Infused with ginger, lime, and rye, it's perfect for the holiday season.
DESSERT
An easy vegan dessert that is cozy, warm and comforting. The apples bake up and soften in the oven yielding crisp topping, saucy apples, and a wonderful cinnamon smell. Although this crisp is great by itself, your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream couldn't hurt.
Kale is great for caesar salads. Other lettuces tend to be too delicate for the thick, creamy dressing featured in this recipe. Feel free to add bulk to the finished product with sweet and salty toppings. Dried fruit, toasted nuts, and roasted chickpeas fit in nicely.
