Rosemary Balsamic Roasted Root Vegetables

One of my favorite things to enjoy during the cooler months is root vegetables!  They are good for you, and really delicious!  I think they taste the best when roasted, because it brings out all of their sweet flavor.  They make the perfect side dish, and would even be great for Thanksgiving dinner!

Vegan Lasagna Casserole

I love lasagna, it is classic comfort food and the type of thing I am craving this time of the year.  But it is a bit more work to make with other pastas with the layering and all, and having to carefully cook the sheets of noodles.  So, I make lasagna casserole instead!  It still has all of the delicious things I love about lasagna, but is less work to make.  This version is vegan and gluten free as well, but it tastes just as comforting and delicious as classic lasagna!

Creamy Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

It is the time of the year when I crave warming comfort food in the form of a creamy soup.  Creamy soups don’t have to be unhealthy. I swap the usual cream out for coconut milk in mine, and use a cornstarch slurry instead of a butter roux to thicken them.  They taste just as rich and delicious, but you still feel good after enjoying them.  This one features one of my favorite fall things, butternut squash, along with flavorful leeks and white beans for protein. It is a full balanced comfort food meal all in one bowl!

Lentil Goulash

I really enjoyed goulash growing up, so I decided to create a healthier plant based version.  I make this often, because it is so hearty and delicious but also healthy thanks to the protein and fiber in the lentils.  I like to use gluten free pasta made of chickpeas as well, so that adds fiber and protein too!

Vegan Butternut Squash Black Bean Enchiladas

Enchiladas are the perfect warming comfort food for when the weather cools off!  These ones happen to be vegan, and they are healthier than most thanks to the butternut squash and black beans in the filling and the whole grain tortillas used instead of bleached ones.  These are packed with protein and fiber but it still has the gooey cheese and delicious flavor of regular enchiladas despite being plant based!
