SIDES

Cranberry Walnut Stuffing

Gena Ramshaw, the voice behind one of our favorite blogs, The Full Helping, is expert at veganizing Thanksgiving. "The first time I served this stuffing to my (omnivore) family," she says, "they were so enchanted that they didn't even know it was vegan." At the core of this recipe is a savory mix of winter squash, brussels sprouts, and good bread. Follow the instructions for this stuffing to woo everyone at the dinner table next week. You won't regret it.

Slow-Roasted Green Beans with Sage

A long, slow roast with lots of olive oil is a great way to caramelize your green beans, bringing them to heights not known before. Garlic and sage add an element of seasonal comfort.

Creamy Golden Mac and "Cheese"

After experimenting for years with a dairy-free sauce, this rich tahini-based version perfectly fits the bill, evoking Annie’s sharp cheddar. We sneak two cups of cauliflower right into the sauce as well — great for helping the little ones to enjoy their veggies!

DRINK

Featured

Grandma Da’s Wassail

My Grandma would make her wassail for the neighborhood children on Halloween and serve it hot or cold depending on the weather. Growing up I loved to drink hot wassail next to the wood stove on cold winter nights. The clove-studded citrus perfumes the entire house with a warm, sweet aroma.

DESSERT

Sweet Potato & Rum Raisin Cake

These individual-sized bundt cakes are perfect treats for fall. They consist of sweet potatoes, rum-soaked golden raisins, wonderful fall spices, pecans, and a rum-spiked glaze that makes an already moist cake, even moister.
