Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad With Lemon & Fresh Herbs + Pitaya Smoothies!I was invited to a Thanksgiving potluck this year, but I was so overwhelmed by all of the dishes I was going to make for our actual thanksgiving celebration that I really wanted to keep it simple for this dish. I made this dish on a Friday night for a Saturday potluck, but I woke up feeling off and ill, and decided not to go :( I was really bummed as I wanted to share this dish with my friends, and I also had made a double batch of this, so I was worried of the waste! Luckily, the leftovers of this dish keep well for a few days, and are great cold straight out of the refrigerator believe it or not.

Our 100% Vegan Thanksgiving Feast! This year I was lucky enough to have my boyfriend Chris by my side, not only to join me in the kitchen, but to also help me stay grounded and grateful this holiday season. He always brings such positive energy into our time spent together, and somehow is always able to create a stress-free environment, which is exactly what I needed preparing for this day. We spent pretty much all of Wednesday and Thursday prepping what you see below, and what a whirlwind it was! In a good way, of course ;) Chris and I vlogged our two days together as well, check out the video below!

Remember to celebrate what IS, and not to focus on what IS NOT. Love yourself and choose health, always <3

Although there are a lot of brands and products included in this post, I want to ensure you all that this post is not sponsored, and all of the opinions shared are my own. It has taken me quite a while to round up these products, I am constantly coming across new vegan, natural, minimal ingredient brands to try out, and more often than not I am finding myself loving each one! I decided that I would list the ingredients on this post as well. I know that it may get a bit wordy, but it is always convenient to have all of the information archived into one in order for you to assess them alongside one another :) *Truly Organic ingredients will be up soon!

After Chris had moved to LA in October, we had discussed making homemade veggie burgers for our blogs, all thanks to an at home dinner we had with Hillary Eats Well Hemp & Greens Burgers we had found at our local Whole Foods Market. This burger tastes like Stove Top Stuffing to me, something that I grew up eating, and recently created a vegan substitute for! I loved the herb and spice mixture of the patty, but what I did not enjoy was the amount of oil in the ingredients. I was determined to create an oil-free version of these with my own personal touch, and that is exactly what I did. Plus, #Novemburger is in full effect, so celebrate with a fun veggie burger recipe...or two, a bonus one is featured below ;) Chris and I aren't sure if that is even a thing, but with this, we will make it happen!
