Candied sweet potatoes with lots of butter and marshmallows used to be THE DISH at my family Thanksgiving dinners every year, or at least for me it was. I don't know what it was that drew me to it. After going vegan, and becoming more conscious of my diet, this dish was no longer a part of my Thanksgiving menu. I could have swapped the butter with some earth balance and used vegan marshmallows instead, but I wanted a recipe more agreeable with my whole-foods, plant-based diet.
When Yvonne and I discussed the concept of this recipe for our 2014 Vegan Gluten-free
Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving Menu, I had nothing but a smile on my face. I was soooo excited to see what the chef in her would whip up and I am pleased to say this recipe was everything I wanted, and more. Plus, it is refined sugar-free with a fat-free option!
Creamy, chocolatey, melt-in-your-mouth goodness that is oil- gluten- & refined-sugar free...can I get a what what?
I had tahini leftover from my Curried Tahini & Potato Dip that I made last week, but I wasn't in the mood for another savory recipe. So naturally what do you do when you have leftover nut or seed butter? Well COOKIES, of course ;)

I created a recipe video for these cookies, and I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think <3
What is Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie?
To me, this is a main component of the holiday, and growing up it was honestly all that I looked forward to. Well, if you know me, then you know that I love to vegan-ize and health-ify my childhood favorites, so that is exactly what I did. I am here today to share with you one of my best recipes to date, a Date-Sweetened Pumpkin Pie that is oil, gluten AND refined sugar free...can I get a what what!!
Back at it again with another recipe, I have been on a roll lately and I am so pumped to be able to you all more healthy vegan recipes to try out, especially during this time of the year.
It's that time of year again for the classic caramel apple, so I decided it would be perfect create a healthy vegan version that is actually good for you. Seriously, you could eat this for breakfast and feel amazing!
