Mamey sapote always reminds me of pumpkin and sweet potato, and pairs well with the spices often used with those ingredients. When I was brainstorming a dessert recipe to create for Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to share with you all a unique recipe. I remembered that I had mamey sapote in my freezer, and voila, this recipe was born.
(If you don't have mamey, you can try subbing in pumpkin or baked sweet potato).
It's finally time to roll out these healthy holiday desserts! I was trying to keep this recipe under wraps until mine and
Yvonne's Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving Collaboration was complete, and it was so hard to keep this to myself.
We created two dessert recipes for you all to try this year, each with a unique flare of its own. What we came up with was this Raw Pumpkin Spiced Mamey Cheesecake and a
Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse Pecan Tart. Both recipes are gluten-free, soy-free,
healthy, and of course, 100% vegan.
For Thanksgiving, don't forget to include beverages on your menu! Since I don't drink alcohol, I opted to create a seasonal virgin cider to enjoy and share with my family.
This recipe is a perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the hint of cinnamon and orange are what bring it all together. It tastes like a tea, and can be served warm or cold (if you chill it before serving), plus it is so easy to make! 
The excitement I feel when I bring a recipe idea to life will never get old. The idea of a Savory Pumpkin Pie that is vegan, gluten- and soy-free seemed too good to be true, but we got it to happen and it was SO GOOD.

Sooooooo, this recipe is going to blow your mind.
Growing up, my mom never ever made homemade stuffing. In fact, she still doesn't. What she used (and still uses) are Stove Top stuffing in a box that she pretty much just adds water, butter and its spice packet to. Well, this year, I will no stand for this! Over the last 3 years as a vegan, I have tried to influence my family as best I can to turn away from prepackaged, processed foods and ingredients, and to turn to whole food plant based foods/ingredients. My family has made significant progress towards this way of living, but they are still far off from a full blown transition. What I have found as the easiest way to influence them to try out alternatives to their previous habits is by making the dishes myself (veganized, of course).
This Quinoa Stuffing is perfect for a healthy Thanksgiving Celebration. What this dish reminds me of is a fried rice with a Thanksgiving flare. It is sweet, savory, filling, and easy to make.
Feel free to swap in/out any ingredients and play around with this recipe to make it your own!
